I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

Beautiful BLM managed land in New Mexico in a desert and rock environment

Beautiful BLM managed land in New Mexico in a desert and rock environment

Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

They tried this. It failed miserably. www.npr.org/sections/the...

They are trying to make people afraid to point out the murderous violence that Republicans are inflicting on this country.

They can fire who they wish. But the stench, the utter moral rot of what these cowards are doing to people, will cling to them for the rest of their lives.

If you need to hide your identity to enforce the law - it’s a bad law.

"The US ranks 22nd in educational spending among its peer countries.

Recent studies show that money DOES matter when it comes to school spending, especially in high-poverty districts.

We need to spend more on public education!"

New Mexico to become the first state to offer universal child care The program may offer a blueprint for other states on an issue that was prominent during the 2024 campaign.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
New Mexico will become first state in the country to begin offering free universal child care, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced.

This an expansion of an existing program that went into effect three years ago that has aided thousands of families in the state.

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

I’m in Seattle for the WICHE (Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education) Legislative Advisory Committee. I serve a dual role as one of NM’s WICHE commissioners and also a WICHE Legislative Advisory members. It’s nice being among legislators who understand the importance of higher education.

News reports have indicated that many of the vehicles being used by ICE Agents do not have VALID REGISTRATIONS.

The police in these cities have a legal reason to pull these vehicles over. Once they do the identities & backgrounds can be legally reviewed.
