I’d like to think that this is the majority of the country, and that what we’re experiencing right now will soon frekkin pass 🙏🏽

New Mexico Department of Justice Files Emergency Petition to Block Unlawful Immigration Detention Agreement in Otero County

🚨 Call to Action🚨 City of Las Cruces is considering allowing border patrol to build new facility near an elementary school here in LC. Please follow this call to action from Councilor Johana Bencomo. If we can’t stop it from being built, we’re urging that it be built somewhere more remote.

I’ve had a hard time reconciling Sen. Heinrich’s vote for Mullins for DHS sec. Honestly, I’m 💔 . So I went back to something I wrote for Public Lands Rally during NMLeg, which unfortunately he left too soon to hear. This message is also to Public Lands mvt. Please do better.

My response to Sen. Martin Heinrich’s Yes vote for Markwayne Mullins for Secretary of Department of Homeland Security. open.substack.com/pub/rubionm3...

Their demands are clear: an immediate ban on ICE/CBP from all future recruitment fairs, formal policy requiring judicial warrant for any fed immigration enforcement on campus, & public reaffirmation of NMSU as a sanctuary for all workers/students. @nmsu-sports.bsky.social do the right thing.

Proud to stand w/NMSU students today who are demanding that my alma mater, live up to its promise as an HSI/Land Grant uni. These students are our legacy: first generation, children of immigrants, Black and Brown students, who chose New Mexico State, because they believed it would protect them.

7,155 New Mexicans demanded to be heard and NMED is now recommending a public hearing on the Project Jupiter air quality permits!! This is what organizing looks like, y’all 💪🏽 But we’re not done. A hearing recommendation is not a hearing, and a hearing is not a denial of permits.

Hey peeps! Here’s a link to my Substack. Please feel free to subscribe rubionm35.substack.com Will do my best to post once a week, time and energy permitting. I’ll try posting here more often too. ✌🏽

She didn’t have to but she did. The people of Minnesota (and this nation) are so lucky to have Congresswoman Omar.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Sharing an update about my future in the New Mexico State Legislature youtu.be/5Tiy-LBHFuE?...

This right here 🥹

“They fight w/fear. We fight with love. When they show up with violence and lies, we respond with dignity & truth. New Mexico must be a model for what justice looks like when we center humanity over fear and courage over comfort.” 👏🏽 @johana-b.bsky.social www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...

🇫🇷 Alaphilippe #TDF2025 🗣️“Unfortunately, my radio wasn't working after my crash, so I tried to sprint as hard as I could and, like an idiot, I raised my hands when there were guys in front of me. It could have ended better, but I could have gone home too, so it's okay." 📸 Cor Vos Full reaction👇

Alaphillippe crashed,dislocated his shoulder, put it back in, helped launch Storer up the road, managed to get into the break, sprinted for the podium and though he'd won. What a day 🇫🇷😭🇫🇷😭🇫🇷

“The United Church of Christ passed a resolution at its General Synod this week denouncing what it called ‘domestic terrorism’ by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement …” “The measure was approved July 14 by a vote of 627-8, with one abstention, at the UCC's 35th biennial General Synod …”

Now THAT’S the story 👏🏽

Translation app: Julian Alaphilippe: "I managed to put my shoulder back on, I remembered how they did it in the hospital. I fought, I had good legs. The radio didn't work after the fall. Like an idiot, I sprinted to try to win. Morale is fine." #TDF2025 Love you you, Lou Lou ❤️

Mad love ❤️ to Julian Alaphillippe 🥹 You’ll always be first in my book. #tdf2025 #tdf25 #tourdefrance25

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Reading this, and can't help but think of a certain DA-turned-gubernatorial-hopeful who’s all in on dragging us backwards. We’ve been here before. Locking up kids didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. We need investment, not incarceration. www.governing.com/policy/why-a...

If anyone at the finish is reading this, please give Ben Healy a big hug from me 🥹 #TDF2025 #TDF25

Signs of the times 🇵🇸

I hate watching Peacock. I absolutely hate watching #TDF2025 on Peacock. Commentary this morning on whether or not Pogacar should have been dropped after his crash? Merica’ vibes No, you don’t leave folks behind in these situations. They clearly don’t know Jonas V. Jonas is a good frekkin dude.

You can't erase us.

#NOMOREWARS "Yet, even as party leaders seek to burnish their credentials as the “resistance” to Trump, they’re tacitly, and sometimes openly, giving Trump a green light to lurch America into yet another open-ended war of choice." theintercept.com/2025/06/19/d...

Spray paint a Tesla: domestic terrorism Targeted political assassination spree: not terrorism

The City of Las Cruces will activate cooling stations through Wednesday, June 18.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Last night on my walk with Yoko, I listened to the episode with Hakim Bellamy, and it was excellent! 👌🏽

Institutions will never save us. Strong communities will. Organize!

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Even the conservative Dem who has voted for 10 of Trump's cabinet picks is voting against the CR.

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

It’s time NM aligns our voting system with the rest of our values. In a time when folks, especially young people, are increasingly turned off by politics and with some of the highest levels of polarization in decades, we should do everything we can to invite MORE people into the democratic process.

Congressman Grijalva's death means his seat will remain vacant until summer

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Mr. Grijalva was one of my mentors and a compassionate leader. He was unwavering in his work to protect our air, land and water, and a powerful advocate for Tribal communities everywhere. I will miss his keen sense of humor and astute way of ‘telling it like it is’.

"Meanwhile, New Mexico is wrapping up a shockingly dry winter, with 60% of the state currently experiencing some level of drought. At the end of February, 12 out of 27 snow monitoring stations reported no snow, breaking records across the state." capitalandmain.com/snow-melts-d...

“For Peter and his family, the loss of their daughter is a private tragedy, one that would be excruciating no matter how she died. The fact that she died of measles, though, is a sign that something has gone wrong with the country’s approach to public health.”

From our own Majority Floor Leader @reenaszcz.bsky.social and our entire Caucus, Happy International Women’s Day! Following NM House Dems' lead, our entire legislature now sets a national example with the largest women majority in US history!

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

Two weeks left in New Mexico legis session, bills making their way, and what’s next after session. youtu.be/S-cyA0iyUzs?...
