"Tribal advocates sound the alarm over radioactive exposure The advocacy group, Tewa Women United, is warning nearby Pueblo citizens and other local residents about LANL in #NewMexico releasing gas containing the weak radioactive substance, tritium." indianz.com/News/2025/09...

For the most current info about the #tritium venting operation at #LANL see the #NewMexico Environment Department's Facebook page, where they are posting updates. www.facebook.com/NMEnvironmen...

If they're going to take it down, we're going to share it.

The Trump Admin has given polluters the green light to destroy our planet with no transparency. And it will disproportionately be Black, brown, & Indigenous communities that will pay the price. All in the name of denying the very real threat of climate change. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/c...

Statement about NMED's decision to authorize DOE to vent radioactive tritium at #LANL. "Public health advocates, Pueblo communities, land-based communities, and environmental organizations warn that this action represents an immediate and unacceptable threat." www.ccwnewmexico.org/general-2?

There are so many reasons people vote by mail… traveling, accessibility needs, caretaking, can’t get time off work or school, avoiding COVID and other health reasons, and so many more. Having the ability to vote by mail is essential.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Great news! #ApacheStronghold

Here's my weekly must-reads list, a frontline dispatch from a D.C. organizer, and my final thoughts for the week. One thing I took away from my exchange with Shannon Clark, a mutual aid organizer in D.C., is that "having great networks already in place" has been crucial. Let's all take note.

In divisive political times, we need each other more than ever Despite an imaginary line dividing us, ‘Canadians’ and ‘Americans’ are part of one human family — and we have more in common than we do differences

New Mexicans affected by radiation exposure from the Trinity Project have spent too long awaiting compensation. Now that Congress finally expanded RECA, the Department of Justice must act quickly and make sure survivors can access their benefits.
