Interesting take from Rep Block, especially given Alamogordo city staff are currently seeking support from LC city staff on how to navigate their own housing crisis & build capacity to support their newly unhoused residents.

Pro-lifers want to interfere in our decisions to have children as long as we don’t dare ask them to help feed those children…

I’m so honored! I love LP so much! 💜🩷

Hating immigrants is the easier story they spin because it keeps their base riled up. The real story is that they just want to make their rich friends richer, it just happens to be on the backs of black and brown people. Their base? Yea they’re still living paycheck to paycheck.

Since Monday, Trump has: -Halted civil rights investigations -Suspended public health advisories -Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges -Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors How does this help working people?

Silence is loud.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Our beautiful border community rejects your hate!

Follow the money!!

Are you looking at your faith through the lens of your politics or are you looking at your politics through the lens of your faith?!

I know this isn’t enough to protect our immigrant community but my commitment from my role on the city council is to find all the ways in which we can continue to stand with our immigrant neighbors. Please share, the Spanish version is on my insta @johana4lc.

Working to put or keep people in the margins doesn't actually make your life better. It just makes you a hater. A miserable hater.

A revolution of values: "we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society.

Democrats have lost the plot on immigration…

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

Bernice King speaking the truth.👏👏💣

@localprogress.bsky.social has been one of strongest pillars of support for me as a city councilor. Couldn’t be more grateful for this network of amazing staff and fellow electeds! 💛✊🏽

Community of Hope is a guiding light in Southern NM! They deserve all the flowers! 💐💐💐

I can be grateful to @govmlg.bsky.social for supporting our amazing Amador Xs affordable housing project AND be disappointed in her recent tough on crime policy positions. Because one is a recognized best practice, the other is not. #housingnothandcuffs

NM, peeps! LA is my second home, and this place & my chosen family there mean a lot to me. My homie, @rudyespi.bsky.social & the org he leads, Inclusive Action for the City, is raising funds to support workers whose livelihoods depend on working outside. Pls share www.gofundme.com/f/cash-aid-f...

Proud of Las Cruces to leading the way in addressing housing with Amador Crossing, 50 units of supportive housing at the Community of Hope. Grateful for state and local legislators for funding, visionaries like Camp Hope’s director and MPT @johana-b.bsky.social Next up in February: zoning reform!

Border hawk recently drove through LC, through my district, highlighting mostly poverty and making outlandish claims about the unhoused community. But what else is to be expected by a “news source” created by a white nationalist?!

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

Happy New Year!! We're entering 2025 grateful, reflective, and clear about the work ahead.

Hey! Welcome to the fight Rep-elect. Sandy’s situation is so upsetting and so unfortunately common. Couple of things re your call to the council to pass no cause evictions: The city has state preemption on a lot of housing legislation.

Whether or not you “believe” in climate change your insurance is getting more expensive… or it’s canceled. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A few weeks ago @javierfornm.bsky.social gave an interview about NM being trump proof already. Then @govmlg.bsky.social gave another interview where that def didn’t feel true. Esp on immigration. How will we hold the line? And will the state leg work with muni govts to do so? Because we’re ready!

We 💛 public libraries!

Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️

I love women’s sports! I also love beating the @unm.bsky.social Lobos! Go Aggies! @nmsu-sports.bsky.social #everyonewatcheswomenssports 🤠

The discourse around the killing of the CEO has been fascinating to watch. For so many the only violence they can accept as violence is the kind that uses weapons like guns. Yet the kind of violence thrust upon the American people every day at the hands of healthcare execs is so much more sinister.

Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Two thoughts: municipalities still have a lot of control over zoning policies that can actually allow for more diverse and vibrant mixed used neighborhoods. Also, labor shortages will cancel out any impact due to “looser regulations” so, good luck I guess.

“Pro-life” 🤪

Can't recommend this new essay by @mbolotnikova on Thanksgiving highly enough: "We will collectively eat more than 40 million [factory-farmed] turkeys... And we will do it all even though turkey meat is widely considered flavorless and unpalatable." www.vox.com/future-perfe...

My sincerest hope for #mattgaetz is that his filler migrates as hard as our families did 😏✌🏽

Only 18 Senators to vote YES for an arms embargo against Israel, something 61% of Americans want: Durbin Heinrich Hirono Kaine King Markey Merkley Murphy Ossoff Sanders Schatz Smith Van Hollen Shaheen Lujan Warnock Warren Welch

The problem isn’t immigrants, it’s men. The problem isn’t immigrants, it’s men…

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day to honor those we've lost to senseless anti-trans violence. As we head into uncertain times, we must stand together to push back against rhetoric and policies that contribute to anti-trans violence and hate.

Black people! Everyone who can relate! When someone tells you that you are not qualified, that you didn’t get in on merit, that you didn’t earn your job, that somebody handed it to, that you are a “race hustler” or “affirmative action” pick or “DEI” candidate. . .

Leaving X was easy since I was kind of bad at it. ✅ Quiet quitting the hellscape that is Facebook was frankly necessary. ✅ Threads is boring. Hanging tight with Instagram. And now here to add to the collection.🤞🏽
