Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: ✅ Free school meals ✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit ✅ Paid family and medical leave

Will you be my kid's godfather? 🙂 Lol.
Got room for more?
Please run for president. You're one of the few that I believe can set the country back on track.
Good job! Taking care of the families✊
Oh, you forgot: ✅ A Governor who cares about kids
And excellent public schools and no vouchers?
💙💙💙
Well all of us sane people left would move there if we could.
You are just wonderful
Thank you for setting a good example for other states!
Let's be clear... a Democratic Gov and it's a blue state.
Great job Minnesota and Governor Walz!
Pass Universal Healthcare!
That would be great, if they cared. It might just take a general strike to get there.
Because you feed them. They’ll grow up to get educated, stay and find in the state. Amazing investment and returns
Who are 1-4?
In descending order: New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, & Utah
Wish you had been head of ticket in 2024. Gearing up for 2028. 🤞🤞
Watch your butt.If dictator trump can ruin your state……he will.
He did. bsky.app/profile/minn...

Fewer HSI deportations…
Excellent job Governor Walz💙
Looked terrible to me.
Run for president, and let's get those policies going nationwide. Let's save America and pass Medicare for All! #M4A #MedicareforAll
Outstanding! Why aren’t you on the news, every night, denouncing fascism?
That’s America 🖖🏼
Don’t worry, TRump will get to you.
South Carolina, take note. 38th is NOT ACCEPTABLE to me!
Oh, South Carolinian here who is so glad my granddaughters are in Mn now.
Awesome
Go, Gov, Go!
Less Nazis?
👏
America needs more people like Tim Walz in power. People who actually care about taking care of the people not stuffing their pockets with the hard earned money of Americans
Stop killing kids. Starvation is a war crime. Stop cuddling war criminals.
Amen ❤️ 🙏.
Amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a stat to be proud of! This is what kind of stat every state should be going for!
Thank you Gov Walz
What a terrific Governor you are. Mine isn't bad but I am jealous.❤️
You should be a part of Canada.
Mississippi and Louisiana are at the bottom
Free school meals is as a basic a policy as free school. It's there to ensure every kid gets a meal, even if their parent is poor, or has ADHD and isn't organized enough to make lunch every day, or just so happens to have the flu and is too sick to make a lunch that day.
Republican hatred for these services is noteworthy.
Glad you're happy... but Turd Reich is coming for you next! Your silence about CA will not protect you! Join CA and fight now!
That's awesome! Great job! Where does Alabama rank? Or Arkansas? Or Louisiana? How about Texas? Red states always have the worst performance in these metrics yet their GOP leaders love telling everyone how to live. They want us all to live in a hellscape of their own design.
They want us all to serve them. I for one will never serve the likes of this bunch.
I would like to see them all be served lengthy prison sentences.
I thought it was because you weren't ziptying them in the back of a van and shipping them to a foreign prison.
Way to go Minnesota - happy for y’all!
Well then, troops should be on their way.
you...
That's fantastic. Can you keep it when they manufacture an emergency and send troops into Minneapolis? Do you have a plan?
Our National Guard and local police and state police are just as fascist as Trump. Some of us remember what happened five years ago.
Okay. That's got nothing to do with what I said, but okay. The military and police are just like the rest of the population, so, yeah, some are asshats and some aren't. I would prefer somebody had a plan when their bosses send them visiting against our own people. Given some of them will obey.
It does. Some of us remember the George Floyd protests. We remember the tires slashed, rubber bullets shooting people’s eyes out, the intentional escalation by police, the same shit that’s happening in LA right now.
Yes. We do. Is there a problem with having a plan for it?
You want our governor, who sent in state troopers and the National Guard to brutalize people, to defend against federal troops, brutalizing people? Just so I’m understanding, you expect our governor to be part of the solution in this scenario?
I want anybody who can to be part of the solution. Preferably to prevent the brutalization. But all I asked for was a plan. Wouldn't you like to know the plan ahead of time?
I already know what the plan is. The plan is to beat the shit out of us.
Governors have entire groups of people who are expendable. And funny enough, those groups of people are the people who show up to most protests. In other words, not the rich white people. The ones without disabilities. The rest of us are fucked. That’s the long version.
The sooner you prepare for that eventuality, the sooner we can actually fight fascism.
All those great programs, and yet, there are too many who still support maga.
That is the definition of pro life
If you have children anyways!
Yea that's the point. Advocating for kids versus just zygotes.
I don't have school-age children but I would pay more taxes for that. It's about the greater good.
I lived in Canada for a while. My effective tax rate wasn't much higher than when I lived in California. And childcare was $8 a day. Maternity leave was a year. And healthcare was nationalized. I miss those days.
Those are all amazing things
♥️💕
You got some money so that I can move there? Not for my non-existent child, but for me.
All you have to offer is soul crushing government dependency from cradle to grave.
And a great Governor!
👍👍👍
Well done, Governor, and the stage legislators.. cue the frothy red state outrage!!! 👍
Governor Walz...I know ur busy. I believe if U gave a Masters Class on how U make this work, there will a lot of states following the plan.🤔🤨🫶👍
the fact that having basic common sense is enough to get a state to top 5 is wildddd. kudos to minnesotans!
The straight line between school meals and childhood wellbeing is so short it is unfathomable there is any debate.
What a Fabulous Vice President we could have had!
Say No to Fascism bsky.app/profile/minn...
Thank you for modeling good governance, Sir. It’s inspiring and very welcome right now.
You should be VP. What we could have ALL been. . . 💔
Thank you💙💙💙
It should have been you and Kamala.
💕 Minnesota is LUCKY But I am also SO HAPPY to have Governor Whitmer here in Michiganl 💕
And thanks to you, Walz, hiding behind your wealth and privileges instead of taking real action, the USA is becoming the Soviet IV. Reich right now.
I’m sorry did you say the Soviet IV Reich? Which is it, a Soviet or a Reich?
Your brain rot is wildly extensive.
Do you make $210,000 p.a. and have 1st class healthcare for free? No wonder that you have to live in MAGAtland now, faithful to the motto "what's the difference between many Rep and Dem voters? Among those Rep voters, one is more stupid than another - with the Dem voters it's vice versa".
You don't even know what you're mad about. Have fun screaming at nothing.
Sir, you've consumed too much propaganda. They've turned your brains into poo. Angry, deranged poo
the what?
most mentally competent german
Most "answers" are the confirmation of the claims that many US Americans are only developing until they reach the age of 12. From that moment on, they are just growing. Good luck with your Soviet American Reich - you'll gonna need it. 🤣
you're absolutely correct. Rocky IV had Soviets in it
Most coherent German
that's photoshopped you can't fool me
the soviet fourth reich the soviet fourth reich hmmm
Brother, I am going to be as nice as humanly possible when I tell you this, but you need to have better conversational english before you start trying to discuss US policy, literally no one is 100 percent certain what your original post means, and you replies aren't much better.
Und wie ist dein Deutsch so, Kumpel?
Dawg you are trying to talk US politics to US folks using English. I'm not straining my high school German (I'm 35, that was a while ago) because I'm not talking about the afd or other German topics
But you don't obviously get that TACO is fucking the whole planet over...dawg (what kind of English is that?).
Oh no, oh no no no. Now I feel like I am picking on a baby. You really need at chill in more US political discussion, and learn even a little english slag before you try again. Getting caught up on dawg is a bad sign boss.
What should he do?
Nothing, of course. That's what you Dem voters want. Learned this over the months here on BSky.
Go sit in your balls
damn how are you posting from 2004?
Excellent response.
Hey buddy who won the Second World War
Not you, buddy.
wut
do you think the USSR and Hitlers Germany were the same thing
Do you realize that the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were entirely different countries, and enemies?
God I wish America was becoming Soviet
And, instead of red states calling and asking if you could work with them to do the same thing for their states, they get jealous and criticize Minnesota for every little thing they don't like.
Just keep doing what you're doing Tim.
Americans missed an opportunity to have you serve in the White House.
Happy children happy me
Except you’re cutting healthcare for immigrants so that’ll change.
Is this because of the federal cuts?
It may be, but but those haven’t happened yet and no guarantee they’ll pass.
actually it just did pass. And the only hope now would be for Walz to veto it. I don't know whether as governor he has authority to do line item vetos in an Omnibus bill ... But if he can, he should.
Thanks for the update
It’s because of the Minnesota house and the Minnesota Senate cutting those benefits for undocumented folks and Governor Walz promising to sign said bill into law.
You have more clout than I. Any chance you could contact your fellow Dem leadership and tell them to get out in front of this debacle of a regime, gut up, and start fighting alongside their people?
❤️
Love you and Minnesota! Thanks for your hard work. LAStrong
Coach you rock! 💪🙌🙏👊👏👏👏👏
Is there an application form to become a Minnesotan child?
Great job Tim. Proud to live in a State and a Governor that cares!
Good job!!
You forgot one: ✅ Outstanding Governor
Ridiculously simple to invest in our children.
SOOO...Glad that you are our governor!
Way to be Tim…!🇺🇸😎
Bros flexing on me fr
Thank you, Gov. Walz!
Yeah but #3 for mosquito size and #2 for mosquito aggression, so there’s that.
✅ Awesome Governance
Swedes are nice people, by and large
The next state and governor that Trump will attack
Very good Minnesota! Too bad you are very cold in Winter. I just can't do it.
tim walz for president.
Free meals? Even for the kids that refuse to work in the textile mills 14 hrs a day? Outrageous.
Leading by his actions, not his words!
My state is 5th from the bottom. But hey, at least we found enough money to bring the Oakland A's to Las Vegas, where Fischer says it's too hot in the summer to play baseball in Vegas 🤷♀️
🇨🇦 loves you Tim Walz! We want to come back. 💙
This weeks prices in Topeka, KS. No more OJ or potato salad for me. I can’t afford either. What happened to tRump’s promise to bring down prices? Reeser’s potato salad is even made here in town!! #trump #groceries #republicans #reesers #orangejuice #krogers #dillons
Speak out for California now. Have Gov Newsomes back
Walz doing it right. I mourn what might have been.
I constantly think about how the other timelines are doing. Starting with Gore as president in 2000. The divide at this branching point feels much more severe than even that one, or the 2016 one. Hard to believe this is the reality most of America chose (or allowed by not voting).
I agree. I would say that's when our intellectual laziness really took over.
Once all of this is over I think there should be a law implemented that all citizens have to vote or be fined. Part of upholding a democracy is participation. We fine people for missing jury duty, we should do the same for this.
Democratic principles
❤️👏
Mental health awareness and support 4silentrebels.com
Thank you a million times over!!
@govofco.bsky.social
ONLY 5th ? That’s it ? 5th ?
My thoughts exactly 😅
And a leader who cares about his constituents. Bravo Governor 💙👏👏👏
that's awesome, congrats!
I so, so, so regret your loss. Our loss as a country is unfathomable.
Coach, you are the BEST!!!!
Congrats! Great job taking care of families.
Thank you, Governor.
If only we could make all of the US more like Minnesota with folks like you in charge. So sad I missed meeting you at the SC Democratic State Convention. We’re still fighting down here…
No celebrity child abusers there then.
Saturday is the parade and it's pride month. I am trying to spread the word to combine them. Instead of military parade, call it "The Trump Pride Parade". Please
That's because Minnesota has a man in charge, as opposed to the child harassing the rest of the States. Thank you for being you! 💙🇺🇸
Why don't we just say an adult... cause saying a MAN kind of just feels icky... like...a wan could do it to.
You're right. Apologies for choosing a noun which could be misconstrued emotionally. My intent was not to offend, but to only pay a compliment. I'll choose my words more carefully going forward. Thank you for pointing this out. 👍
You should've been our VP Governor!!
All the things the republicans in this state want to cut. The republicans these days appear to be allergic to making $$$ and actually being good at anything beyond being cruel and serving billionaires
Don’t forget the most important fact A leader who cares about the people who lives in his state
Please run for President! Walz-Buttigieg ticket would be amazing for the country.
Get Trump's Gestapo out of our state next.
Now condemn trump and his criminal regime!
And Coach Tim!
A man's man
Congrats Governor and to the people of Minnesota.
Let’s see if I can guess the top 4…. 4) Mississippi 3) Alabama 2) Kansas 1) Florida How did I do?
😂
And all of the children are above average.
You forgot to add increasing healthcare costs to MN public employees…
How about for all of us?
All the while Red states are creating legislation to put kids into factories. Those red states ghouls hate children.
Thanks for doing an awesome job pushing stuff through. This and the refuge stuff really makes Minnesota of the prouder states in the union. Anyway just wishing yall luck from Alabama *goes back to screaming into the void
This refugee stuff? bsky.app/profile/minn...
Then why are we chaining ourselves to the rotting corpse of a once proud and healthy, but now sick and perverted, nation? Why would we want our children to be subjected to the uninformed opinions of an uneducated administrator with a beain worm? Secede. Put a referendum on the November ballot.
Minnesota is a great state!!
Now imagine Governor Walz doing this for the whole country. #TimWalz2028
No thanks, I don’t want him taking away more healthcare. bsky.app/profile/minn...
Tim Walz for President 2028!!Thats if we get there.
But isn’t this communism? 🤣💙🤣
Get some more mic time Tim, we need more leaders in front of mics and on TV screens. We want to hear you here, but we already know what the fuck is going on, too many do NOT.
Maybe it's time I get over my intense hatred of cold weather. Well done, Minnesota!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Same
Keep up the good work Governor Walz! We need your leadership now more than ever.
You're AWESOME!! #myVP
Congratulations Governor!
Now that's something to boast about & celebrate!
Could have something to do with you!
48th
Congratulations MN! And Governor Walz.
Awesome governor Walz
MUTED REPLY: @governorwalz.mn.gov WHAT R UR SHERIFFS DOING TONIGHT TIM #MN??? @mayorfrey.com What are your forces doing to peaceful protest tonight??? #nice ??? Violence or vandalism ??? Property < People ???
you should be vetoing this bsky.app/profile/minn...
gawdblest and pass the collection plate 🙄
Already Magat talking points are saying the killings were a Democratic plot.
This is deeply disappointing, if true. It's fine if the legislature overrides a veto, but if he signs off on this, I have questions.
Maybe offer them an affordable option. Budget getting squeezed.
It’s a divided legislature and a compromise was needed or the government would have shut down. Walz will have to sign the budget bill or financial chaos in Minnesota will be the result.
Yeah...I did follow up on this.
We’ve had non stop coverage of this for the past month. It’s a difference of one vote in one chamber.
I keep trying to convince my daughter that immigrants aren't taking anything away from her - it's the millionaires and billionaires that are destroying her standard of living. It's so very, very hard for the 25-45 crowd. She's had to move 3 times cuz her landlord(s) are cashing in on hi house prices
Newsom is doing the same in California. It is disappointing.
It's less surprising from Newsom. It seems like Tim got backed into a corner here and made a play to avoid a government shutdown. I don't like it, if that's what happened, but part of representative democracy is trying to elect people you trust to act in good faith and letting them do the job.
Tim, is there anything YOU can personally do to put a stop to the Gestapo BS in our country? We need optics. We need to see leaders speaking out publicly. News conferences. TV interviews. Anything. Please.
There is, and he failed. He could have stood up for immigrants, he threw them under the bus. Maybe we should go visit his mansion and protest. bsky.app/profile/minn...
Well that fucking sucks. :/
Congratulations to you and your child/family first government, Governor Walz, everyone favourite governor 👏 🫶🇦🇺🌻
👍
God bless you, Governor! Keep up the good fight for human decency and charity!
Compared to red states most of which rank as the lowest in education snd healthcare. They get more money than blue states so where DOES it all go?
Corrupted republican leaders
Great job Govna!!
New Hampshire is first until Trumpublicans screw it up.
I'm going to live here in the future
💙💙💙
That's wonderful! Well done, Governor Walz 👏 💙
Please run for president we need you desperately!
Thankfully, our high school is holding free lunches all summer. I just noticed the sign the other day.
@lindalouwisconsin.bsky.social I forgot to tag you on the post. You and Gretchen probably knew about Lincoln HS doing free lunches all summer, but just in case, that's the sign they have by the street in the front. ❤️ I haven't seen any other signs around town, either.
I did not know that! That's great!
Yay! Glad I'm getting the word out. I should post it on FB.
Don’t ever doubt you are doing the right thing Gov
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So far, still a blind eye. We need all high profile leaders to speak out against the illegal actions being taken by the treasonous conman. It’s really starting to piss me off you don’t have one post addressing this. You just going to wait until ICE invades and attacks the Twin Cities?🤦♂️
Yep. He is. And he’ll be calling in the National Guard when we say fuck that.
Congratulations on 5th. Here’s why: We celebrate participation like its winning or a triumph Then Our politicians (beholden to corporate benefactors) give us the minimum. Then act like we have to celebrate it as a win.
Forever sad thay we didn't get you as VP..as a plus we would have also gotten Gus..Congrats Gus!
AND they grow up with ice hockey and street hockey
Ah so for bullshit reasons
I guess there’s some of that Scandinavian mentality left in Minnesota. There’s hope!
And how do red states measure up ?
Poorly overall.
😱
Utah is 2 though. So, there’s that.
That's cool.
This is good news. It would be great if more states followed suit.
And thank you Gov. Walz!!
Minnesotan here. Please invite the recently fired vaccine professionals to MN to discuss and determine flu variants to be focused on for the next flu season. Then let's produce and distribute it. We've got world class medical facilities and labs like the UofM and Mayo. I bet other States would help.
Yes we do have world class medical professionals here!
I've written to Walz and my Rep and Senators about this but no response. I want my tax dollars to go towards this
@governorwalz.mn.gov
We need to keep up with vaccinations. Any advance country with tested vaccination routines will be happy to share experiences.
I read there's a worse Covid strain in another country. If it's true, it will get here eventually. Could our awesome medical people please get a sample and start working/tweaking a vaccine? No one else will save us!
Yes that too. If DC won't help us let's do it ourselves
Great idea!
That is an amazing idea, like brilliant. This is one of the things that made me fall in love with the bluebird app, and now Bluesky. 🦋💙
Yes!
@governorwalz.mn.gov This is a brilliant plan.
Totally agree! This would be great for the state. We are the North Star..we gotta be a light on this time of darkness
So true! I've written to Walz, my rep and Senators both state and federal. Haven't heard anything back
That won’t last long if Trump is successful. You can obviously see he’s trying to make governor’s powerless over his will.
4. Great Governor
Why do I have to keep refolllowing you? Is BS trying to become another Zitter? Also, Governor, you have my full support.
That's great!! 👏👏👏
Yay Minnesota
Please make a statement of support for another democratic governor whose state has been invaded by Trump. Stand with Newsom.
Pretty easy - feed them, help pay for care And - educate them as well!
Good job Governor.
We coulda had nice things
Bravo 💯👏
