#MelanieStansbury #representative for #nm continues to be an absolute legend and talk sense into #gop colleagues. #nmpol #uspol #nokings #newmexico https://youtu.be/GSf5XvKOj6U?si=EhGcsz6-7qf0FN1S

If you’re in the #albuquerque area and want to continue that #nokings energy, you can join an intersectional demonstration held each Tuesday at Lomas/4th street from 12-1pm. I’m going to be out there raising awareness of the GOP plan to sell #NPS and #publiclands (no-bid sales, even. If that doesn’t sound like a con to you…). #joinus !! #indivisible #abq #nmpol #uspol #Project2025

No Kings protests in smaller cities/towns saw a particularly strong turnout, including in places like Las Cruces, Gallup, and Taos where 1,000 to 3,000 people attended: https://progressnownm.org/no-kings-protests-sweep-nm-rejecting-trumps-authoritarian-vision/

For #Albuquerque area, essentially the entire #sandiamountains will be sold. Funny how *his* home state isn’t on the auction block? #NPS #resist #callyourrepresentatives #nmpol #Altnationalparkservice

Just The Facts, Ma'am: Most adults with Medicaid health coverage are working already

Medicaid is a vital tool for NM’s families to build a good life and contribute to their communities, one that we should be expanding, not cutting

Clear Horizons Act is more of the same old green lipstick on a pig. A feel-good seemingly pro-environment move promising “cleaner” air and “cleaner” water while ignoring the 775 millon barrels of oil and gas being extracted out of New Mexico ground THIS YEAR ALONE. All that oil and gas will be combusted, releasing untold more gigatons of greenhouse gases into the planet’s one and only atmosphere.

(#NMpol wants you to think NM’s atmosphere is separate from Earth’s.)

In #NMLeg news, SB 23, Oil & Gas Royalty Rate Changes, is making moves in the House!

It passed its first committee, House Energy, Environment & Natural Resources Committee with a 5 to 4 vote!

Next stop House Appropriations & Finance Committee

Grrrrrrrrrr

These blasted fascist party operatives keep sending me multiple phone messages per day urging me to vote against U.S. Senator for New Mexico Martin Heinrich because he's taking OIL AND GAS JOBS -- LOL! -- well guess what, magats, that sounds super alright to me! He can take 'em all and ship 'em back to Texas for all I care.

These guys think Heinrich is in play, and a fascist Senate seat might open. Hey #NewMexico -- do not let that happen.

Instead of highlighting the fearful implications of climate transformation, a series of energy town halls in New Mexico focuses on concrete steps ordinary working people can take and ways to open avenues for communication and action.
