Absolutely incredible turnout at the #Albuquerque #NoKings march.

Photo doesn’t come close to doing it justice. Peaceful and joyful, people have the power.

A crowd of thousands of peaceful protesters stretches down Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Women would not be where we are in science were it not for Jane Goodall. And science would not be what it is today were it not for Jane and all the women who follow in her footsteps. Thank you, Jane.

The thing about "winning the middle" in order to make a big tent is that it fails, not only in practical reality, but as a metaphor.

Think of a big round carnival tent, like in Bugs Bunny cartoons. Picture it from the top. Big circle. Got it?

Winning the Middle

What makes for a purity test? What makes for a big tent? Unpacking the apparently pragmatic demand that we Speak Low about fascists to beat fascism.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free

The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER
NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE
AUGUST 29, 2025
Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season

THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.

A young grey fox stretches with both front paws all the way forward on the ground. She’s also yawning.

nobody panic there’s a fox in the yard (I am panicking in the best way possible)

A young, lanky gray fox sits with her tail outstretched and glances over her left shoulder.

@workingfamilies.org is officially endorsing Alex Uballez for Mayor of Albuquerque.

Why? Because Alex is running to take on the housing crisis, build a future for all of us, and finally make government work.
It’s time. Let’s win this together.

This morning @Axios covered the #Albuquerque mayor's race!
It's because our outsider campaign to shake up the status quo is part of a trend nationally. People know the way we're going isn't working. We need to show govt can work for them again.

The United States summed up in two headlines.

Headline 1, "Americans are losing spending power, say researchers: Most can no longer afford a 'minimal quality of life.'" Headline 2, "The 10 richest Americans got $365 billion richer in the past year. Now they're on the verge of a huge tax cut."

Ok so this is pretty easy to predict, but I feel like the enthusiasm for planting native plants for the sake of the bugs is meaningfully boosted in my neighbors hearts and minds when I text them pictures of the critters who have visited the plants (esp when those insects happen to be butterflies)

Abq has a history of resilience & of immigrant-friendly policy. But Trump's attacks and ICE's actions make this an urgent time for local response and action.

Here are 11 steps the City of Albuquerque can take to keep our city safe for our immigrant neighbors.

A scathingly accurate condemnation of the Democratic Party.

“The party treats mass suffering not as a call for transformation but as fuel for the next election.”

Democrats are using Trump’s apocalyptic bill as a campaign gimmick — and ignoring their role in its cruelty.
