Should #Harris and #Walz win in November, prompting Walz to step down from the governorship, Lieutenant Governor #PeggyFlanagan, a citizen of the #WhiteEarthBand of #Ojibwe, would take his place. That means that Flanagan would become the first #NativeAmerican #woman to serve as a U.S. governor, as well as #Minnesota’s first female governor

#Walz signed a #PublicSafety package including a "#RedFlag" #law that allows family members, roommates or law enforcement to petition the courts to remove #firearms from the possession of anyone deemed a danger to themselves or others.

Another law in the package required private gun transfers to be subject to #BackgroundChecks.

"This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment," Walz said. "This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."

Game a smile

The practice of putting #LGBTQIA+ youths into "conversion therapy," which aims to change a person's #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity, was also formally banned in early 2023, although #Walz issued an executive order 2 yrs earlier to restrict the practice.

Statement from Barack and Michelle #Obama:

"By selecting Tim #Walz to be her vice president from a pool of outstanding Democrats, Kamala #Harris has chosen an ideal partner – and made it clear exactly what she stands for. Governor Walz doesn't just have the experience to be vice president, he has the values and the integrity to make us proud." #HarrisWalz2024

In March 2023, #Walz signed an exec order to the right of residents to have access to #GenderAffirming #HealthCare. Weeks later, he signed the "#TransRefuge" bill, banning the enforcement of arrest warrants, extradition requests & out-of-state subpoenas for those who traveled to Minnesota for care.

"When someone else is given basic rights, others don't lose theirs," Walz said. "We aren't cutting a pie here. We're giving basic rights to every single Minnesotan."

#Walz has a long history of supporting #LGBTQIA+ rights. While teaching at #Mankato West High School in the 90s, he helped found its first #GayStraightAlliance group.

"You have an older, #White, #straight, #married, male #football coach who's deeply concerned that these students are treated fairly & that there is no #bullying," Walz said in a 2018 campaign ad.

Scoop: Tim Walz cemented his nomination this weekend when, on his way out after his interview with Harris, he unprompted changed the oil in her car.

Polls have been getting more and more inaccurate in recent years for a variety of reasons.

Take nothing for granted. Get everyone you can to the polls, even in deep red states. There's actually a chance that a few deep red states could flip thanks to the abortion issue.

And if you live in a blue state, we need a win by the biggest possible margins to push the mandate narrative and to overcome possible post-election shenanigans.

"I am live outside of Tim #Walz’s residence.
A bunch of black SUV’s just rolled out.
I am not a betting man but the vibe seemed very 'this guy just got picked as VP'.
Feel free to interpret how you wish.

for those asking if I looked at the license plates to see if it’s secret service I am not a security expert

I saw big black SUV’s leave a residence and it looked like a movie and I sent the tweet

we aren’t complicated people here in Minnesota"

A university in Netherlands opened all academic vacancies to women. If after 6 months, no suitable female applicant was found, men could apply. After centuries of systematic exclusion for women, when men have to wait a mere 6 months, they file complaints.
