Our children should never have to grow up in a state that tries to change who they are.

I signed an Executive Order last year that protects our LGBTQ+ youth from the harmful practice of conversion therapy.

As long as I’m governor, Minnesota will protect our LGBTQ+ community.

Happy heavenly birthday, Ahmaud Arbery! Today we remember and honor him on what would have been his 28th birthday, grateful that we were able to get justice and bring some measure of peace to his family.

BREAKING: A federal judge accepted Derek Chauvin’s plea deal, sentencing him to 20 to 25 years in prison. This is expected to be served concurrently with his 22.5-year sentence for his state level murder conviction.

This is ridiculous! A 14-year-old autistic boy was aggressively tackled to the ground in a Clifton Park (NY) Target. His sister, who REPEATEDLY told police her brother lived with special needs, was arrested for attempting to stop the assault! https://t.co/tE4ZpNKmfn

3 white men have been rightly charged for yelling racial profanities & attacking a Black TN family whose car broke down! The victims — including a mother who recently had knee operation — suffered bruises & lacerations. These attacks due to race must stop! https://t.co/Kn0EFwq1BU

What a reminder that change can come.

Let’s embrace it and keep working for true peace.
