I enjoy hearing highlights of positive stories. Becoming a citizen is important. Bravo for speaking loudly today.
We wanted to kick off the week by sharing some the joyful moments from the naturalization ceremony we attended last week.
Your stories are forever woven into the fabric of our country, our communities, and what it means to be New Mexican and American—and we are grateful you are here! 🇺🇸✨

That doesn't seem very transparent
Permanent Fund Corp: "We're transparent!!"
Also, Permanent Fund Corp: 60+ days after the close of 1Q 2026, and they STILL haven't reported the Management Fees paid for that quarter. ( 🤫 ... maybe they'll forget.) 🙄🙄

Some 600 immigrant kids have been sent to federal custody by ICE this year.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.
Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

This young man inspires me! Maybe his words will help you to find strength and courage to be exactly who you are. We all worry and feel unsure. Everyone reading this can benefit from doing the things he suggests.

Imagine someone in your neighborhood built a huge hole and didn't fence it. Would you really be surprised that something bad happened in, over or around the hole?
And would you blame gravity?

Everyone is trying to blame each other in the case of the young Afghan who attacked the National Guardsmen but he may have worked with our troops in Afghanistan. There are a lot of men his age who emigrated. We promptly forgot about them and many of them are struggling.
Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:
If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

About the shooting of the 2 National Guards in DC
It’s a horrible thing.
But The Trump administration recently renewed the shooters immigration renewal so they can’t just blame President Biden
I am hoping they fully heal and can soon return to their lives
