I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.
As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.
It's great to have him on the team.
Now let’s get to work. Join us:

‼️ A multimillion dollar, international, cross-agency, joint-domain maritime search and rescue operation has been launched to ensure lives aren't needlessly lost in the #Titanic submersible.
Now if only this was the 700 migrants who drowned last week while authorities looked on.
Ajike Owens’ children were playing in a field near an apartment complex when a white woman yelled racial slurs at them and said to get off her land.
The children left behind an iPad which she stole. When one of the children came back to retrieve it she threw it at him and hit him with it.
Owens knocked on the woman’s door and without even opening it she shot through the door, killing Ms. Owens.
Y'all. Why I was tore up in church today. Literally like tore up, ugly crying during service.... WHY in the world would this man sitting behind me tap me on the shoulder and ask me "Did that tattoo on your neck hurt?"....
Gaslighting is when they repeatedly cause you to feel crazy & confused. They play the victim by blaming YOU when you address their toxic behaviour. They avoid taking responsibility by lying, denying, & making you question your feelings, sanity, & facts. It's manipulation & abuse.
If you never witnessed adults work through problems with compassion and patience it makes sense that you’re rushed, hostile, or shut down when your stressed.
Most people need to learn how to fight.
Fighting isn’t about ‘winning’ or keeping score. It’s about being vulnerable, finding solutions, and learning how to respond in mature ways when upset.
My growth came when I realized I didn't wanna be a "nice" person anymore. Nice got me: stressed, disrespected and used. I'm a kind person. I'm an authentic person. There's a difference.
And another thing about communication...
Never point out to anybody that you haven't heard from them if during that same time period they haven't heard from you either. You only get to say that if you've been reaching out to them and they haven't reached back.
The true crisis in our society is the vast majority of adults cannot emotionally regulate. If we understand how much this impacts our world, it would be a focus of culture.
