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.
Nope.

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?

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.

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)

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.

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.
