Students deserve to start the school year full of hope and excitement. No child in America should go to school apprehensive of danger, of losing a classmate, of gunshots during prayer.

Shocking it needs to be said. Yet, here we are.
Condolences to the people of Minnesota. May better citizens lead us in the future that will help us stop the slaughter of our children and stop our hearts breaking over and fkng over.
Owning a gun should require classes, testing, licensing, and insuring the gun owner. These checks and balances are needed to keep guns out of the hands of those who are unfit to own them.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢‼️
But, we made it normal for kids to be slaughtered in schools. We did this to them, and banning anxiety medication is only going to make it all worse.
Unless & until you insane Americans do something to make getting assault rifles harder than adopting a puppy, your children SHOULD be apprehensive & terrified of going to school. They're more sane than the vast majority offering 'thoughts & prayers' for kids who can't do either anymore? 🤷
⬆️ the only solution! 2nd amendment my butt! Constitution pick and choose party republicans
No parent should feel apprehensive of danger, of losing our kids, or gunshots, or any of that when dropping them off at school and holding our breath until we get to pick them up safe and sound at dismissal.
Yup, we’ve already gotten the email from the SPPS Supe about safety and code drills. In fact, my building is doing one on Friday 😡 Don’t get me wrong, but I’m pissed that we are pushed and triggered by repeated secondary trauma. Please, we need sensible gun legislation now!!!
Perhaps the Government will install bulletproof glass in all schools and places of worship, rather than addressing the real gun issues.
Thank you for your leadership Gov.
85% of Americans want common sense gun laws enacted…. We aren’t the problem.
🤬💔😢🙏🫂
Timbo, telling boys that it’s okay to be girls is what caused this. Your fingerprint is on the rifle. Trans kids don’t need coddling. They need psychiatric intervention.
We’re deploying state law enforcement personnel to support public safety efforts around schools and places of worship in Minneapolis. I’m grateful to our State Patrol and DNR officers stepping up to give residents every reassurance that their families and children are safe.
This is so disappointing
Not sure what the fuck this is supposed to accomplish except put more people in unnecessary contact with the police, but thanks, I guess
How about you address the guns instead.
He is addressing guns, he’s sending more guns!
🤬
#BanAllWeapons
I like you Tim and fervently wish the election results had been different, but the American people have stated over and over that they prefer unlimited gun ownership over human lives. I have lost track of the times I have heard the excuse, “If you want make an omelet, you need to break a few eggs.”
Curious why you won’t sign with the other governors opposing the national guard being moved in?
“Due to the recent mass shooting, we’ve decided to flood schools with heavily armed double-digit IQ Roid Head Neanderthals”
I hope you understand why many people do not feel safer this way
Turns out there is something more useless than thoughts and prayers
For ever? This is just theater…. School ahooting are the norm now. Leadership has failed the citizens.
This ain't it gov. Meaningless, empty theater
Common sense gun reforms are overdue by millions of already lost lives
More guns will fix it? Are you sure? Because we've been pouring more and more guns on it and it doesn't seem like it's stopped people from getting shot.
#BanAllWeapons #AbolishTheNRA
The shooter died already you dumbfuck.
x.com/PressSec/sta... All Democrat controlled states and cities are in a decline and that is by choice, rise up blue 🔵 take back your lives from the deceivers.
how is it helping
You know full well that filling the streets with militarized police makes a huge portion of Minneapolis citizens feel extremely unsafe and that it will be *traumatic* for so many. This is only going to comfort a certain kind of person. I grew up eating wild meat. I get it. Get rid of the guns.
Get rid of the guns and fix the disability system so people who genuinely cannot use a regular bow and arrow have easier access to accessible tools like crossbows.
Too bad we can't get rid of the guns that kill people.

Commit right now, not to allow the National Guard to go under Donald Trump’s control. Tell officers they’ll go to jail if they obey federal orders without your go ahead.
He won’t, he will be coordinating them under Donald Trump‘s orders.
More. Cops. Don’t. Help. Tim.
It’s the guns, though.
Disgusting, shameful response to this. Time to get out of office, you're not up to the task.
cops who... work closely with ice to apprehend and abuse and harass any student who isn't lilly white and speaks the queen's english? i don't see how this could possibly be good for any child
*it's the King's English again.
then he should learn to speak it
Well, he's the King, so he really can do with it as he'd like.
Is your only tool police? Maybe try making a society that doesn't create this.
More cops is definitely not the answer, and you know this. Do better.
Adults with guns that historically do not help these situations is not the correct play. You will just terrorize these children even more.
Why are more guns the only solution even democrats can come up with?
Why
Delete this Tim
Idk about places of worship. Tax-exempt organizations benefitting from taxpayer services doesn't sit right.
Governor, this is what you’re enabling. This is what you’re grateful for. Screw you. bsky.app/profile/moxi...
Law-enforcement doesn’t prevent mass shootings and we don’t need them in our communities. What did they ultimately do in this situation? They traumatized the community. Now you’re going to do it more. It’s the guns, fucking do something about them.
Security theater to help normalize fascism, cool cool cool. Opposition party really doing their thing. 🤦🏽♂️
💯 😢🤬
you saw what was going on in D.C. and thought "good job"?
Please do the same along with the NG when ICE comes here
🤦♂️
If Uvalde taught us anything it’s that cops definitely respond to school shootings and don’t just stand there while kids are shot. Jfc get a clue.
cops make people less safe, dumbass
What is that going to accomplish?
We know from The Violence Project that this does NOT make us safer. Get rid of the guns, mandate school MH screening, provide access to early intervention and treatment. Invest in proven strategies, protect our babies.
#AbolishTheNRA
#BanAllWeapons #BanAllWeapons #BanAllWeapons
law enforcement sat on their hands while your own colleague was being murdered, how do you expect them to protect our kids?
arrest trump only way this ends
The second amendment refers to single shot flintlocks. A good marksman doesn't need more than one shot.
What we need are stricter gun laws
And massive funding for mental health services and programs.
Why didn't you sign the opposition to trumps order for NG to be sent to all states, 19 governors signed. I do not understand your thinking here. Please explain for all who are questioning your decision.
Performative.
For the operator of this account: Please tell the governor roll this back & work for actual effective gun control instead. Cops in schools have no duty to protect students; nor do they make anyone safer. In Saint Paul, we rightly stopped having cops in the schools after a cop assaulted students.
More of this. And no more security theater of cops at schools. bsky.app/profile/minn...
Its a shame the conservatives have america so brainwashed that people get canceled for pointing out the obvious consequences of letting death merchants run amok
We start school next week and went through our crisis policies today in a staff meeting. It's traumatic just going through the motions to prepare for the unthinkable. Our kids come to school to learn and be with their friends. They should be able to feel safe here!
💔💔💔 so very sorry for the innocent lives lost. Hoping you find a real solution to stop this.
This hardly ever happens in other developed countries. In Nimes, France, on my recent trip in May, I met an African American mom who had moved to France from Atlanta with her husband and young son to protect her son from these regularly occurring tragedies.
Commit right now, not to allow the National Guard to go under Donald Trump’s control. Tell officers they’ll go to jail if they obey federal orders without your go ahead.
Those tampon dispensers in the boys bathrooms should give all the students great comfort to know what the real priorities are for cowardly Timmy Dubbs.
We need Cracker Barrel outrage for children dying from gun related violence.
youtu.be/xGlwxbd3fVw?...
We are so damn sorry, Gov. Tim. So many hugs.
With tRump hates everywhere, get ready for shootings to explode !! It's a new tRump norm !!
VOTE out every single Republican Out of every single office Then fix gun laws
Am I the only one who remembers during dummy’s first run, he said he’s not afraid of the NRA and would go after them? Looks like either he’s afraid or the money was too good.
Please run again. We need you.

Without prayer as well.
No child in America should go to school apprehensive of danger, of losing a classmate, of gunshots PERIOD.
We need politicians that can move beyond puking political platitudes and pointless pageantry and actually do something that's in the best interests of the people.
The solution is not "gun control". It's Universal Healthcare. Mental health therapy for all high school students - to help them all move into adulthood, and especially the ones inclined to hurt themselves or others. Universal Healthcare.
Universal Health Care AND common sense gun reform. This is going to take multiple solutions to get it to stop/slowdown.
We really need to stop thinking that solutions are "just this" or "just that." In every other country, and even this one, gun control decreased mass shootings. I also agree that better access to mental health would help. But removing the ready access to guns is the easiest lever.
Removing easy access would have the most immediate impact as well
It is the solution on top of mental health care. Both are factors. Pretending gun control laws don't work is literally the source of this problem. You're not helping the solution, you're one of the people that is helping cause it.
That's not true, but go on with your fantasy demonizing me, an ally. Tell me more how you know I harm children..
Saying one is an ally doesn't make it so.
Please share, for Far Right White Nationalists are willing to declare Genocide against Trans People in the US. We all must fight against this ugly evil! All Transphobes are EVIL! They must be combated, arrested and jailed for Threats of Violence. For Trans Rights Are Human Rights. 🏳️⚧️
Tim, we must combat this but this is a contribution to a horrible truth. That fascism has festered its way in the Western World. We must combat it, defeat it and jail all who promote such a hateful ideology. For Trans Rights are Human Rights FOREVER! #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 #BanGuns
It's time for democrats to actually come up with ACTIONS, instead of continuing to repeat the same cycle of "look how the republicans don't let us pass better gun regulations." No more of this nonsense. Take unprecedented unilateral action, even if it isn't "standard" or "legal," learn from Trump!
My kids are DONE going to in-person school. Why would anybody even roll the dice on it at this point?
GUN LAW REFORM NOW
Yet we do this over and over and over again!!
How about people that are already afraid of “law enforcement “ how will that make them feel safer?
Regulate Ammunition.
They shouldn’t - but they do. They have for years, and will continue to do so for years to come. Why make these statements? Talk about what you plan to do.
Trump is a Russian Asset, says Portugal’s President !!! "The top leader of the world’s foremost superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset,” Portugal's President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said. “He operates as an asset.” eutoday.net/the-presiden... #Trump #RussianAsset #MAGA
Sadly, as long as the Repugnicans control things, it will be easier to buy a gun than it is to adopt a dog.
What makes me sick, is that it's easier to find a gun, than it is to find a health clinic for any necessary medical care
Yup. Have you ever tried applying for MA? It’s hoop after hoop, and the people you speak to on the phone or in an office have less knowledge on how the system works than the ones they “help”.
