Standing room only for our show on housing and unhoused issues in Santa Fe/New Mexico last night

Santa Fe’s love of “casitas” runs deep. Can that spirit shape our housing solutions? We look at life inside the city’s pilot micro-community site. Join us for a free discussion with Stephanie Nakhleh, Chainbreaker, and Homewise on housing at the Jean Cocteau Cinema, Thursday, July 17th, 6 pm.

The volunteer news org I'm in was profiled by the local PBS station. It led to a discussion about objectivity, because we're transparent about our politics and how they guide us. Here's the thing about journalistic objectivity: it doesn't exist and it helps bad actors disguise their motives.

Shout-out to @cailleychella.bsky.social for featuring us on New Mexico in Focus. Full story on the PBS App and on NM in Focus on YouTube.

La Cieneguilla, just west of Santa Fe, has a triple threat to its water supply. In addition to decreasing water from drought and development as well as contaminates from an old wastewater facility, La Cieneguilla's wells may be contaminated with toxic, cancer-causing "forever chemicals”

Strategic Legislation Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) silence non-profits, journalists, & everyday people just trying to say the starbucks bagel sandwich at St. Francis/Cerrillos is subpar. In NM House Bill 169 would make it much harder for corporations to sue the little guys to kingdomcome

@govmlg.bsky.social calls for over $100m in new housing and homelessness investments and the creation of a state office of housing to tackle obstacles to new housing construction

Beware - for it’s part one of 505omatic’s investigation into what has to be the most stereotypically haunted looking house in all the town. Could it be that this is one time you should absolutely judge a book by its cover?
