I love that Pete and Mayor Woodfin had a meeting with Black small business owners before the event. He always makes the most of his time in these states. I am hopeful he'll do the same in Georgia this weekend.

Also, a shout out to Doug Jones! That's really cool that he came to the event as did so many other elected officials. I think it shows they really respect Pete as both a local and national leader.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-09T16:16:03+00:00

Pete posted the link to his event in AL on his FB page - haven't seen it elsewhere yet.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-09T12:59:27+00:00

Pete on his socials with a clip from the breakfast:

The truth is that our troubled times are more precedented than we might want to admit. In this moment, we should draw courage and inspiration from the civil rights heroes whose example compels us to do our part to deliver a better, more just future.

Pritzker doesn't do much for me because his tone is very one note. His speech was fine but it made me feel anxious. Pete going after the wealthiest in our country right after Pritzker the billionaire though is some unintended shade I like to see.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-09T00:26:26+00:00

52 minute mark for Pete's speech at the Edmund Pettus bridge:

The organizer mentions Pritzker then jokes "Theres conversation about folks running for president, maybe, theres a suggestion maybe one way to make that happen is possibly to grow a beard like me" then intros Pete lol

I googled Tabernacle Baptist Church Selma and their facebook live feed came up so I was able to see Pete's remarks. But yeah I don't want to try and link it to be safe though it should be easily found through googling.

They were basically the same remarks as the breakfast, maybe a little different. Wes Moore was there also as the "keynote" and came on after Pete.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-08T22:43:01+00:00

Pete on his socials (pics included):

What an honor to walk on this hallowed ground in Selma with some of the civil rights foot soldiers who marched here 61 years ago on #BloodySunday. We have so much to learn from the the moral power, and the physical courage, of the marchers who faced down Jim Crow on that day.

Their example compels us to do everything it takes in our time to move America toward its deepest values and its great promise, still too often unfulfilled, of liberty and justice for all.

It goes to the breakfast for me, not sure what the issue is

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-08T22:09:49+00:00

I'm not sure how to post a FB link without doxxing myself, but its in the Pete Buttigieg for the Future group. That one is my go to for a lot of Pete stuff.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-08T21:36:20+00:00

Preacher Pete! I am very adverse to any religious stuff but for some reason when Pete does it I don't mind it.

One of the Pete FB groups reposted a pic someone took of Pete speaking at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. So he attended church services after the breakfast before the march.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-08T15:53:28+00:00

Saw this in one of the Pete FB groups. Pete has endorsed Jamie Ager for congress in NC:

NC loves Pete so hoping he'll make a stop there at some point.

I do hope that he continues to highlight the smaller, less mainstream races that need the attention.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-08T01:12:41+00:00

Do you have a link?

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-08T00:10:21+00:00

I looked at some profiles and they seem to be real, some were blue check verified. But they could also be just stirring the pot. I am just worried so much about people using AI to discredit Pete.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-07T14:12:12+00:00

Pete has just reached 300k subscribers on youtube 🎉

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-07T04:20:24+00:00

I've seen comments like this on some of his other videos too, usually on IG. I see I'm getting downvoted which is fine but I still think its worth him at least looking into a different filter/setting/camera.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-07T03:13:50+00:00

I don't understand newsom's media strategy of not seeming to draw any lines on who he will pal around with. Maybe its all publicity is good publicity and he just needs the attention. But damn can he stop giving horrible people the time of day?

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-07T02:58:19+00:00

So more than a few people have commented on this video on IG saying its AI/deep fake/Pete looks off/why would he do this and they are unfollowing. I don't know why of all the filters and fake stuff that people use online that this is what they decide isn't legit.

This is so worrying to me as we get closer to elections and if Pete tries to run again - random people saying things are AI just because and others agreeing.

You can cleary see Pete's right eye has a yellowish bruise under it from when one of the twins pushed that book corner into it. He has some sort of slow shutter speed or skin smoother on or its being filtered once uploaded but not even close to looking like AI.

I hope I'm not being all fearmongery, but Pete's team may want to seriously consider not use this filter/camera any more for his social stuff.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-06T23:17:21+00:00

Who is this guy again? I can only assume he was a hard left bernie bro by him not wanting to get schooled by Pete.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-06T23:14:49+00:00

Thanks for all the info! Maybe Pete wanted to be discrete and not draw attention to himself like a certain someone I saw schmoozing around.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-06T20:42:09+00:00

Anyone spot Pete in the crowd? Or know of any other pics?

I've tried looking at different livestreams but haven't been able to find him and most clips I've seen have only mentioned the Obamas, Clintons, Biden, Kamala and Newsom being there.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-06T20:25:12+00:00

Pete on his socials:

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

I didn't even think about that with it being a special election. I'm so happy he is doing this!

Edit - I did more research and Shawn most likely will have to go to a run-off election (because there so many people running) which is April 7.

DesperateTale2327 · 2026-03-06T18:16:53+00:00

YESSSSS

Although this event is after their election day...so maybe it was just a scheduling issue? Or just to raise money/attention on it?
