My statement re: today’s Doña Ana County commission meeting. I am calling on the Doña Ana County Commission to drop any and all charges against those currently being booked, and restore meaningful public comment to every meeting related to Project Jupiter from here on out.

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...

I’ve had a hard time reconciling Sen. Heinrich’s vote for Mullins for DHS sec. Honestly, I’m 💔 . So I went back to something I wrote for Public Lands Rally during NMLeg, which unfortunately he left too soon to hear. This message is also to Public Lands mvt. Please do better.

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.

We will be watching closely to make sure this hearing happens in Doña Ana County, in English and Spanish, where the people most impacted can actually show up. Stay vigilant 👏🏽 keep organizing 👏🏽 This community showed up and it made a difference. Don’t stop now.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

Reading this, and can't help but think of a certain DA-turned-gubernatorial-hopeful who’s all in on dragging us backwards. We’ve been here before. Locking up kids didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. We need investment, not incarceration. www.governing.com/policy/why-a...

Why Are We Backsliding on Juvenile Justice?
Over recent decades we’ve moved toward a much more effective and humane system to deal with youth crime. Evidence and research, not hyperbole and hysteria, should be guiding today’s debate.

For background, I listen in to a French sports radio station doing commentary on the race. I don’t speak the language, but it’s kinda poetic. The American ads are a bummer when they pop up sporadically, but the passion in the French commentators really add to the the drama, and pretty worth it.
