Today we announced that we will be introducing a moratorium on data centers during the next legislative session. Folks have asked, “why now?” Here’s a bit of a civics lesson on the why, and another reminder of why organizing works. youtube.com/watch?v=0PVK...

Their demands are clear: an immediate ban on ICE/CBP from all future recruitment fairs, formal policy requiring judicial warrant for any fed immigration enforcement on campus, & public reaffirmation of NMSU as a sanctuary for all workers/students. @nmsu-sports.bsky.social do the right thing.

Proud to stand w/NMSU students today who are demanding that my alma mater, live up to its promise as an HSI/Land Grant uni. These students are our legacy: first generation, children of immigrants, Black and Brown students, who chose New Mexico State, because they believed it would protect them.

7,155 New Mexicans demanded to be heard and NMED is now recommending a public hearing on the Project Jupiter air quality permits!! This is what organizing looks like, y’all 💪🏽 But we’re not done. A hearing recommendation is not a hearing, and a hearing is not a denial of permits.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Mr. Grijalva was one of my mentors and a compassionate leader. He was unwavering in his work to protect our air, land and water, and a powerful advocate for Tribal communities everywhere. I will miss his keen sense of humor and astute way of ‘telling it like it is’.
