Good turnout in Albuquerque 😊 #ICEOut

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling on ICE: "They are an undisciplined militia and the leadership is awful...This is not policing and it's not military service. It's something dangerously undefined."

Mitch McConnell has done more than any other single person to bring about the sad state of affairs in this country today. From his gamesmanship pertaining to the Supreme Court to allowing Trump to skate on the impeachments, McConnell has greatly diminished the nation.

🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country. Read our new report "The Normalization of Book Banning" at: pen.org/report/the-n...

“This unconscionable decision, which ignores our Constitutional rights, make us second-class citizens in our own country. I want the people of NM to know that our state Constitution continues to protect them from racial profiling by state, county & municipal law enforcement..."- #NMAG Raúl Torrez

#GoldCup Lots of empty seats for Mexico vs. Saudi Arabia in Glendale, AZ. Mexico games are usually very well attended. Hmmmm, I wonder what could have happened.
