With Sue as our model, we will keep on fighting back against attacks on the largest source of insurance for children’s mental health treatment in the nation (Medicaid), and renewed efforts by people up to the Secretary of HHS to stigmatize folks with mental illness and behavior health challenges.

We have made progress these last few years, like launching the 9-8-8 hotline nationwide, and we have huge challenges ahead.
As Executive Director of NAMI Minnesota she passed laws to require mental health training for teachers, expand crisis and early intervention services, strengthen how insurance companies cover mental health care. As Sue retires from leading NAMI, we owe her a huge debt of gratitude.
Sue Abderholden is a force of nature, and her advocacy for people experiencing mental health challenges is unmatched. She started at the grassroots, working for Paul Wellstone and then working with kids with developmental disabilities.
I hope for justice for those hurt in this attack and that every American can feel safe in this country.
I am still thinking about the atrocity of the attacks last weekend in Boulder.
The rise of antisemitic violence across this country is unmistakable and unacceptable, and we all need to strongly stand against it.
Progress isn’t always a straight line, but I have to believe America will one day protect all our neighbors under law.
That’s what brings me hope this month. Happy Pride.

President Trump has now pardoned 9 members of Congress convicted of crimes
RFK Jr. not knowing how to cite research and just making shit up as he goes is… not that surprising.
Mind boggling that four Republicans couldn’t grow a spine and block this guy. Now look where we are.
A lot of Minnesotans struggle to keep up with how fast technology is changing – so we have programs to help teach them. It helps them land good-paying jobs and keep up with the day-to-day tasks that we use technology for.
DOGE just cancelled these programs.
Thinking of the countless American lives lost and the thousands of brave men and women who answered the call of our nation with great courage and honor.
Memorial Day and all days we thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms and keep us safe 🇺🇸
James Baldwin said, “not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is faced.” Today, I’m inspired by the strength of the young leaders I see here in Minnesota who refuse to give in, give up or forget. I’m with them.
Big corporations that embraced Black businesses and a more diverse workforce only a year ago have erased those efforts as they shamefully kowtow to Trump and MAGA. So, there have been retreats and losses also.
Only a fool would look at how Donald Trump lifted up White Afrikaners as the victims of genocide and see anything but the race baiting and racism that it is.
It is also true that across our nation the number of police killings continues to go up, and the people who are dying are much more likely to be Native, Black and Latino people.
Donald Trump’s Justice Department has abandoned the Consent Decree, but we will not. Congress has failed so far to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, but local communities like mine have banned no-knock warrants and the use of choke holds.
