We are the LGBTQIA Caucus of the Democratic Party of New Mexico

We will be posting upcoming events and activities as well as photos and video of our participation in activities around New Mexico.

Democrats came ready to lower health care costs.

Republicans walked away and shut down the government.

We need a deal that puts working families first — and actually lowers their costs.

Thinking this earlier today. Had to look up the Tylenol date.

I wonder if this is AI flagging as sensitive content or if Bluesky has a homophobic staff person. Either way this was a content flag miss.

His administration renamed the Enola Gay because they couldn’t even stand having the word on government websites. Pure idiocy to suggest he’s anything but entirely hostile.

The “right” does this kind of thing all the time. They blame the dissolution of straight marriages on gay people. Like, bitch, I don’t want your skid mark husband.

ICE violated the Const by handcuffing Sen Padilla. Art I Sec 6 “Senators and Representatives shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same.”

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Religious conservatives have long wanted to send LGBTQ people to a desert island. It looks like we live in a country where the administration could just do that and say it was an “error” and there would be nothing we could do legally. The Supreme Court majority is evil and unconstitutional.

Should Democrats run on impeaching Trump and corrupt members of the Supreme Court?

Grocery prices are going up across the board. Eggs are at record highs.

And the guy who said he won on grocery prices isn't doing a thing to make it better. In fact, he's making it worse.

It’s time to start throwing wrenches into everything Republicans want. No more working across the aisle. Elon could not do this without support from Republicans. So they get no cooperation and nothing comes easy.

This is very good

Trump cares more about policing people’s pronouns than he does about our lives. He fired key people who keep our skies safe to save money for billionaires and now we’ve had the worst airline tragedy in more than 15 years.

Recently, I’m seeing a lot more direct criticism of the right wing and Trump policies on Instagram reels. Great! But why now? Are more people putting out critiques? Are they not filtered after the election? Is Meta responding to backlash over forced follows of potus and VP? Combo of these or??

I’m proud of NM and all the work we did to help this happen. Let’s continue talking to our friends and neighbors and grow support for the party of democracy and freedom.

New Mexico’s five electoral votes for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have officially been certified on the House Floor.

Vaccine disinformation. I’ve heard things like “They say they’ve done studies showing vaccines are effective and safe but have they really?”

It’s been a few years but I don’t remember body horror being bad. I think what that means is that there are different mutations is a post apocalyptic world. To me it read like alien species rather than body horror.

I really enjoyed Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. It has a great steam punk vibe and I love the prose.

I fear the real repercussion of this thinking will be to obey in advance when it comes to prosecuting people connected to Trump. It will be hard to collect evidence and start cases when you believe the result will be a pardon. But it will still be important to force him to issue the pardon.
