I made my annual pilgrimage to Palms Trading Post in Albuquerque #NewMexico and I got to try on this 1980s bracelet. Sadly, the stone is cracked because someone back then tried it on and dropped it. But it’s still epic. #NativeAmerican #turquoise

The highly recommended salt cave in Santa Fe, #NewMexico is made of 9000 pounds of Himalayan salt. The most relaxing thing I’ve done in a very long time.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Since I’m half and half, I’m completely disgusted by Cubans who look down on Mexicans. Don’t they realize we’re all the same to some people?

Why I became an independent and I’m still stunned that it happened.

Seemed appropriate to 2025, because *To Serve Man* is a cook book. #twilightzone #ethics
