Nothing could be a better jumping off point for South Carolinians endeavoring to understand our new political partner in the Presidential Primary process. If you are in Charleston, you should go and smell the official smell of New Mexico. #SCpol

The US-Israel war on Iran represents an unprecedented application of AI in warfare. The Pentagon’s Maven Smart System uses Anthropic’s Claude AI to “semi-autonomously rank targets by strategic importance, drafting automated legal justifications for each strike along the way."

As the only highly active Democrat who is a South New Mexi-Carolinian, and who also endorsed @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, it has been amusing to follow his socials and to witness how very New Mexican he has become. I do remember him telling me in ‘19 that he loved Green Chile, but—-sheesh. #scpol

President Trump's dubious promise to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress would need the approval or acquiescence of lawmakers, cost $1+trillion and exacerbate the budget deficit and inflation, according to AP. apnews.com/article/trump-divi...

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

It’s Zozobra day in New Mexico and apparently he’s dressed as King George this year. I would ask how the Brit’s feel about this, but it would be way too hard to explain this century-old Santa Fe tradition in the first place.

This is uninformed bullshit. Piker has an enormous following, especially among young people. Leftists like AOC support him. Leftists campaign with him. It's essential that Democrats denounce Piker's antisemitism and anti-Black racism.
