I am thrilled to join #TeamPeggy in her run for US Senate. Iβm supporting her because she fights for all Minnesotans. Hard stop. Sheβs compassionate, truly listens, and acts so that she can deliver on the things that we all need to thrive. I hope you will join me!

This is exactly the kind of dangerous and harmful rhetoric we need everyone to call out and condemn.
This is the watershed moment where things need to change.

The nightmare is over for most, but for the families and friends of our beloved elected officials and those targeted, it is still very real. Thank you to law enforcement, fire, EMS, & our health care professionals who provided amazing service throughout. #MellisaHortman #mnleg

Letβs use this moment to remember George Floyd, mourn his loss, and recommit ourselves to the work that will make our public safety system function for everyone. There is so much left to doβletβs do it together. Rest in Power, George.

They seek to divide us, and distract us from our mission towards real justice. Today, I reject these falsehoods and renew our calls for a public safety system that treats every resident with dignity, compassion, and equality under the law.

George Floydβs killing unified Americans in condemning injustice. The narrative is being rewritten.
Conservative commentators play up Floydβs criminal history and present the officers as victims of politicized justice.
As I reflect on both this moment, one which brought MPD practice into the light on a national and global stage, I am disgusted to see the way that conservative media and politicians continue to distort this tragic event for their own political aims.

It has now been five years since George Floyd was murdered in front of a crowd of bystanders on Minneapolisβ Chicago Avenue, by an MPD officer who was entrusted with protecting our community. π§΅
