A 37-year-old woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation. Federal leaders say “self defense” but local leaders and video tell a very different story. Officials blocked local access to evidence and put the FBI in charge of the investigation.

New Mexicans don’t want our kids’ faces, family routines, or daily trips to the store being recorded, stored, and shared with police departments across the country, especially not with ICE or Border Patrol.

It’s time for laws that protect our families: progressnownm.org/privacy-fir...

No one’s booking a vacation to get a smuhb-ortion. They’re traveling because they have to. Call it what it is: survival, not tourism.

If you thought labor was intense, try it in 110° heat with no AC and wildfire smoke in your lungs. Doulas are stepping in where the government won’t prepping pregnant people for climate disasters while Medicaid funding disappears.
