Workers (and lowriders) Over Billionaires #ABQ #MayDay 2026

MAGA Republicans say it’s about safety, but what’s safe about cutting healthcare, raising costs, and making it harder to afford basic needs?

Allen Weh is a former NM GOP Chair, US Senate candidate, and billionaire. He gave more than $204K to Trump’s re-election in 2024, shortly before receiving a no bid ICE contract: progressnownm.org/meet-the-nm...

New Mexico could face more than 5,000 abandoned oil and gas wells and up to $1.6 billion in cleanup costs under current rules. Modernizing bonding helps ensure oil and gas corporations pay to clean up wells they drill.

Trump threatened to commit war crimes against the entire population of Iran if they don't bend to his will. Like and share if you want NM's delegation to invoke the 25th amendment against Trump.

Oil companies are making billions off of New Mexico's oil while the US wages an illegal war in Iran and somehow NM families are still the ones paying for it all. Link: progressnownm.org/the-oil-pri...

Trump may send American soldiers into Iran, even without congressional approval. It feels like Iraq and Afghanistan all over again. Voters don't want a bloody, drawn out war that kills service members and civilians alike.

The hardworking people of Albuquerque won a crucial victory last night: City Council passed the Safer Community Places ordinance to protect us all from aggressive and violent ICE tactics Thank you to every advocate and community member who showed up & spoke out!

62% of people disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living: www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026...

Our nation is strongest when all of us show up, speak out, and refuse to be intimidated. Join us for No Kings on Saturday, March 28 @ 11 am. Rally in Albuquerque or Farmington, Taos, Portales, Alamogordo, Silver City, and more: www.mobilize.us/nokings/

Last fall, ABQ's mayor said during his re-election campaign that the city "cannot arrest our way out of" homelessness. But new jail booking data suggests that's exactly what's being attempted.

The truth? Starting a war with Iran makes the U.S. less safe. Americans don't want higher gas prices, economic instability, or increased risk of a terror attack.

Not sure what or who all is on your ballot? Don't sweat it! We break down everything you need to know to be the most informed this election year: progressnownm.org/dont-be-int... New Mexico has proven time and again that when we show up for each other, we win. #NMVotes #NewMexico

"Trump has hurt U.S. manufacturing, driven up prices, and strained relationships with U.S. allies" – newrepublic.com/post/205430/s...

Historic protections for immigrant safety, privacy, and healthcare passed this session. Yet political games sacrificed our climate future. Our values guided these wins—now we must demand leaders finish the job on clean energy and resilience. #NMPol #NMleg

Thank you, AG Torrez, for taking this up. The 2019 email thread between Trump appointed US attorneys in NY/NM makes it clear they failed to investigate at Zorro Ranch. It's time to look at witness/survivor reports again and preserve any evidence on site. www.santafenewmexican.com/new...

The good, the bad, and the unhinged, well, this report covers it all. Tune in for the latest from the Roundhouse: youtu.be/fCfZVlon3j8?...

Who is the new owner of Zorro Ranch? The answer is troubling because there are multiple witness/survivor reports in the DOJ document dump suggesting key evidence may still be on site.

🎉 SB18: Clear Horizons Act PASSED Senate Tax, Business & Transportation Committee! 🎉

We know how this Blackstone/PNM proposal plays out... extreme profits to Wall Street (and Saudia Arabia) investors while New Mexicans don't get a seat at the table in decisions about our own energy future. Hard pass. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

I’m real bad about being in here but this is maybe the best thing I’ve written in a minute so I’m asking nicely to check it out. #nmpol

Floods and wildfires increasing. Residents of Mora, Ruidoso, etc. struggling to keep insurance for homes and businesses. Families waiting on disaster relief payments. Time is running out, but it’s not too late – we can come together to demand bold climate action: progressnownm.org/moral-clari...

We're back with your NM Leg daily recap and... legislators are getting things done?! Credit where credit is due, this 30 day session is shaping up to be a productive one.

So grateful for everyone who made this happen...especially those who voted for what's right, even if it wasn't the easiest political choice for them individually. I don't usually cry watching legislation get passed... but, man. This was a real one. So proud of my state.

Thank you to every legislator who voted yes, every organizer who rallied, and every person who raised their voice. You have upheld the New Mexican values of showing up for our neighbors and ensuring everyone has a seat at the table. Read more: progressnownm.org/a-victory-f...

No secret police. No private prisons. New Mexico leads the way — showing our nation how communities can unite to counter harm. Today, we give thanks as HB 9 The Immigrant Safety Act heads to the governor's desk 🎉

We're back for another NM Leg recap – today's update includes some big moves in the Senate, but don't worry, we'll break it all down for you. #NewMexico #NMLeg #NMLegislature

NM Leg Recap 1/29: Privacy, Safety, and telling ICE to take a hike... we're back with another update on the good bills, the bad ones, and the jaw droppers.

HB 9 Immigrant Safety Act Passes House Judiciary 7-4! 🙌 #NMLeg

"The Clear Horizons Act will drive down emissions & transition to clean energy-solar, wind, batteries & geothermal-creating jobs & energy independence. This is the direction the world is moving. Let’s not be left behind now." nmpoliticalreport.com/2026/01/26/o... #NMLeg #ClearHorizonsAct

In Minnesota, the leading Republican candidate for governor says he can't support "retribution" by Trump or the national Republican Party: www.startribune.com/chris-mad...

ICE agents killed another person in Minneapolis today – we won’t be posting videos but there are 3 of them and they make clear ICE is out of control and needs to be shut down. Rest in peace, Alex Pretti.

Welp, the NM legislature is back in session – we're your daily watchdogs for the good bills, the bad ones, the jaw-droppers, and of course we can't forget the unhinged floor speeches. Today was opening day, so here's our rundown of what to expect...

Community orgs & advocates flooded the streets of Santa Fe today to set the tone for opening day of the NM Legislature 👏 ...big ups to Youth United For Climate Crisis Action, Organized Power in Numbers, Indigenous Lifeways, Southwest Solidarity Network, Indivisible Taos & Albuquerque, etc.

A 37-year-old woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation. Federal leaders say “self defense” but local leaders and video tell a very different story. Officials blocked local access to evidence and put the FBI in charge of the investigation.

New Mexicans don’t want our kids’ faces, family routines, or daily trips to the store being recorded, stored, and shared with police departments across the country, especially not with ICE or Border Patrol. It’s time for laws that protect our families: progressnownm.org/privacy-fir...

NM Lawmakers MUST Choose Workers Over Billionaires this Legislative Session Unions & community organizations will gather Thur. January 22 from 1-3p to call on lawmakers to do right by #NewMexico workers. RSVP: bit.ly/NMWorkersDay26#NewMexico 📍 NM State Capitol Rotunda, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe

Costs keep going up while the rich keep padding their own pockets 😑

ICE killing someone in MN is the predictable result of Trump & Republicans cheering on lawlessness, violence, and racism

What took place on January 6th? See the videos, photos, and the words of people who participated in the attacks: apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

It’s been a fascinating news day watching the spin. Here are my hot takes on the news of the day, the latest on Venezuela, and the implications for global security and the American people ⬇️

No one’s booking a vacation to get a smuhb-ortion. They’re traveling because they have to. Call it what it is: survival, not tourism.

Happy New Year from the ProgressNow team!

If you thought labor was intense, try it in 110° heat with no AC and wildfire smoke in your lungs. Doulas are stepping in where the government won’t prepping pregnant people for climate disasters while Medicaid funding disappears.

✨ This season, let your light shine — not just in decorations, but in deeds. Small acts of kindness ripple outward, warming hearts and building community. Be the glow someone needs today. 💛 #KindnessMatters #SpreadLight #HolidayVibes #BeTheChange #HeartfeltSeason

While families prepare for the holidays, ICE is stepping up raids and surveillance. No one should have to wonder if their loved ones will make it to the dinner table.
