the power of the people... the power of prayer
Tewa Women United@tewawomenunited.bsky.social · 2d agoMore than 250,000 public comments were submitted in support of protecting Chaco Canyon and keeping Public Land Order No. 7923 in place. Ku'da/thank you to EVERYONE who took time to submit a response through the BLM portal. Now it's time for prayers. #ProtectChaco #DinePuebloSolidarity #NewMexico
More than anywhere I’ve ever lived, the past is present here in Northern #NewMexico. History is not relegated to a dusty textbook, it’s remembered, lived, celebrated, and in some cases resisted every year, month, and even day. postcardsfromnewmexico.substack.com/p/convergenc...

So I saw The Odyssey yesterday. Wow, perhaps the most intense movie-watching experience of my life. Emotionally shredded. TL;DR: war is awful and traumatic. Also, don't trust suitors. But yeah, it's an epic piece of filmmaking and you should see it!

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries
Here's my fantasy--instead of us complaining about Trump's upcoming speech, I'd love if all major media outlets simply refused to cover it. A media blackout on Trump and his regime. Nothing would deflate his power more. We give him far too much coverage + attention. Deprive him of his oxygen source.

I know everyone’s making their jokes, but to be real: it’s an American sickness that the media and political class are praising someone who has spent last year calling for a genocide. Lindsay Graham was the worst of us. He wanted the blood of children to flow in the streets of Gaza and got his wish.

Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Abolish ICE. I am so fucking sick of my taxes supporting this kind of state-sponsored terrorism.
“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social
We have an even bigger problem than Graham Platner
The candidate's rise and fall perfectly illustrates the sexism in lefty media

I believe a desire to steer into masculinity as some kind of curative answer for previous political failures delivered us to this moment, and honestly, it could deliver us to much worse.
Sane People: “Billionaires should pay more in taxes.” The Atlantic: “This is Stalinism.”
Here's a radical thought: it's possible to have a progressive Dem candidate who's committed to things like affordable housing and healthcare, who can successfully run for Maine Senate. Why we build a cult of personality around super problematic candidates like Platner I just don't understand...
So grateful to live here.... the socialist republic of New Mexico lol

Come what may, I will bet on us, every time, because there is no other bet worth placing. I am all in, fam. I will never stop looking for openings and aiming at them. I will never stop reaching for people and saying, “Take my hand. We can do this.” Because we are worth it.
