New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

New Mexicans should take a look at this. If you care about public lands staying public.

Oh.

I can’t stop watching these videos of men (and sometimes a woman) from Sindh, a village in Pakistan, reacting to western pop music (and sometimes opera). The elder, Abdul Aziz Rind, often has insights that are profound and interpretations that are unexpected. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a good one:

Sam Bergman is having a fundraiser with oil and gas Texans. Why is he running for governor as a Democrat?

NM is also suing the Trump administration — along with other AGs — over NIH medical research grants it says the federal government is intentionally withholding: including $9M worth at UNM.

SIPI in ABQ is one of the tribal colleges a federal judge said can rehire staff laid off through federal cuts, although the federal government says it is going to appeal that decision.

Your energy costs will be going up. You can thank Trump and his Republican enablers.

I've sat through legislative hearings on the alcohol tax and watched the local breweries kill any efforts to tax the industry (and use its proceeds to treat addiction). For the sake of public health, we need to override this industry pressure.

Preserving the Legacy: The Mother Road Consortium Summit takes place on April 24-25, 2025, in ABQ! This summit will provide a unique platform to collaborate across state lines, exchange ideas, and align efforts to create a truly unified and memorable Centennial experience. motherroadsummit.com

For my friends up in Santa Fe -

Interesting research that is relevant to rural NM.

We were tracking a few bills this legislative session. Here's where the bills ended up.

Underground pipeline owned by Enterprise Products Partners carrying car fuel from Texas through New Mexico, into Colorado and on to Wyoming burst, spilling 22,900 gallons of gasoline - forcing families to evacuate their homes & contaminating water wells Reporting by @durangoherald.bsky.social

This is disgraceful. www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

#mmleg Democrats Reps. Small & Dixon joined with Republicans to block the oil wellhead plugging reform act & inspections by the Environment Dept on proposed transfers & new licenses, targeting the oil and gas industry, sacrificing our State's environment for oil profits www.kunm.org/local-news/2...

This is why people having a mental health crisis don't call for help Police will kill you 👇 She expected paramedics to take her husband to the hospital. It never occurred to her police would kill her transgender husband less than a minute after arriving Reporting by @thenewmexican.bsky.social

Happy to see #nmleg believes in public health sourcenm.com/briefs/bill-...

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

Democracy dies in decorum.

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) makes recommendations that determine access to vaccines in the US. The ACIP meeting scheduled for next week is now delayed. This is how RFK Jr will administratively destroy vaccination programs. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This is bad. ACIP vaccine recommendations trigger health insurance cost-sharing free preventive care vaccine coverage requirements.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Can we get New Mexico to invest in this industry? www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...

Repeating the standard message: if you were born before 1989, there's a good chance you didn't get both doses of MMR vaccine as a child, and there are people who lose immunity over time. If your insurance will pay for a titer test to check immunity, get one done. If not, get a booster.

NEW: Trump and Musk’s efforts to shrink the government have left the country’s wildland firefighting force unprepared for the approaching wildfire season. One federal employee likened the funding freeze to a “massive sledgehammer” hitting the force.

“The New Mexico Department of Health reported a case of measles in an unvaccinated teenager in Lea County − which borders Gaines County − Tuesday.”
