Q: Why can't police retain staff? A: "itās a profession deemed so untrustworthy, so rife with corruption and racism and brutality, that no one wants to be a part of it." Take note #nmleg - it's not the money š°
You think this is ridiculously funny, but who would have guessed tax payers would spend $1,000,000 a day for national guard troops to pick up trash on labor day weekend? š¤
Is that an endorsement of @govpritzker.illinois.gov ?
"Homeland Security is trying to back-door changes to our election laws" š³ The federal agency now requiring states to use its untested citizenship verification tool for all people working in any capacity at a polling place or DHS will withhold tens of millions of dollars in election security funding
Pretrial detention, especially of a poor person, can result in the loss of their home, kids, job & vehicle... Do we want their lives to have been completely ruined so they donāt have a choice but to go commit more crimes in order to feed and house themselves? By @austiejfish.bsky.social
That doesn't look like 11 people on the boat in the video & it's totally open - Where are the drugs?
You cansee right in that boat. Doesn't look like 11 people are on it & Where are the drugs?
Excellent point
Thank the Supreme Court for immunizing the president from criminal liability over cold blooded murder.

This is the part #nmleg ignores when debating whether to remove ICE detention centers from New Mexico that are run by private prisons companies Geo Group & Core Civic. Instead, the focus has been on the jobs the prisons creates @pbsnews.org

I hope not but I can see him trying that to intimidate people who are trying to vote
Do you know if there are enough national guard members to be at every polling location in 2026? š¤
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!
Lawyers for Gerald Pizzuto say Idaho officials defied court orders to hand over information on lethal injection drugs.
Here in New Mexico we have a lot of land but only 2.1 million people. Our poor House representatives have to drive for up to 4 hours just to get from one of their district offices to the other @repstansbury.bsky.social @fernandez.house.gov @repgabevasquez.bsky.social
Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 todayānot $7.25. Meaningābillionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years. We don't suffer a lack of resourcesābut from an excess of greed.
And if you want to know why our public defenders are far and few between, look no further than the for-profit private prison system - and then follow the money to our politicianās pockets. Throwing poor people in jail while denying their right to an attorney = MONEY www.kuer.org/2020-03-09/w...

The state of Maine has only 1.4 million people, looks like most of those who are eligible to vote were at the @grahamformaine.bsky.social rally today. Susan Collins must be troubled ...
Hiring practices at major meatpackers reshaped the demographics of middle America ā and, in turn, gave rise to the nativism that produced the Trump era. @thefern.org
Roswellās municipal court somehow scored a Top 20 ranking on a survey titled, āThe 100 ugliest public buildings in the U.S.ā So I went there, met the judge, took a tour, and started digging into the survey itself.

Prison is modern day slavery š
A widespread data-sharing program with ICE supports local and state budgets nationwideāeven in so-called sanctuary cities and states that forbid certain law enforcement cooperation and information sharing with ICE.
The National Guard could drive kids to school, set up after school programs, and tend to community gardens since D.C.'s "crime problem" is solved

@eddietg51-42.bsky.social just reminded me...
That's funny timing, I just posted about the root causes of crime - again
"Poverty is the mother of crime. In some quarters, crime is even considered to be a normal and adaptive response to economic disadvantage" Poverty is a result of failed gov't policies depriving people of education, jobs, healthcare, & housing. What is the National Guard going to do about that? š¤
Memphis has a murder rate twice as high as the nationās capital, but Tennesseeās Republican governor, Bill Lee, didn't call up National Guard troops to patrol Tennessee. Instead he sent them to D.C.
Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Okay. I just came back to this and you arenāt calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Are they going to take Trump out?

They want people convicted of a felony to not have a say in their government by removing their Constitutional right to vote, but are just fine with a felon being the president š¤

Pretty sure that's not happening. Even AG Torrez hasn't done anything about Epstein brining girls to the Zorro Ranch that Jeffrey Epstein bough in 1993 from Bruce King then built his 33,339 square foot mansion on the land. Who knows what actually went on there š¤

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
