Be good to each other.
Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate! If you're wondering what to do with your leftover cranberry sauce, try this cake. It's more delicious than you would expect.

Agree completely. Protect #albuquerque and the #newmexico culture. No Darren White.
Who remembers what and why Darren White got into some trouble and stepped down. Yeah- just say no to him being mayor. He's not going to do anything good for anyone. This dude talks out both sides of his mouth and wants to be your darling.
Nope.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

From rural Virginia and the heart of Maryland comes a great no-nonsense corn bread recipe. Pearl Strickler, like many women in her time, had a short-lived education but she poured her intelligence into her cooking. Here's her story.

To our USPHS colleagues deployed to ICE:

These missions are hard. We see you.
Keep providing the most compassionate care possible 💚

And if you see harm or neglect - SPEAK UP
Report it through the channels.
If they ignore you, leak it. (DM us; we can help)

Your duty is to protect human lives 💚
ICE is hiring dozens of health workers as lawsuits, deaths in custody mount
Nearly as many migrants have died in detention so far this year than over the four years of the Biden administration.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

#Albuquerque investing in trying to combat homelessness. More affordable housing being built (large apt complex just down the road from us, actually) and now the Gateway Center.
Let's hope it really does help and we can do even more.
