My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The students knew they would be marked with an unexcused absence for walking out. Still, about 430 did. "We don't care, because we've got to support our people," "We've got to support our people who belong here." The hundreds of students, who left their campuses from 7 Santa Fe schools.

Bank of America, Draftkings, Kroger and Johnson & Johnson are among the companies funding Vivek Ramaswamy's despicable ad attempting to exploit the family tragedy of his opponent, who was raped as a child.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

The orange-pedo is so desperate that he's recycling this old shit - again. My response has always been - "You're really not that stupid, are you?" and then walk away. You can't argue with stupid, but you can point it out.

In NM, art is inscribed into everything we do. I’m working every day to invest in artists & art institutions—from securing cpf & investing in the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, to Roots Conservatory of the New Mexico Black Leadership Council, & historic buildings like WPA-built Estancia Town Hall.

In New Mexico, water is life. I have spent my career dedicated to working on water, conservation, & community development. I have fought to protect our lands & waters, to pass legislation protecting the sacred sites & water rights of Tribes & Pueblos, & to protect Chaco Canyon.

In 2024, Heritage Foundation chief Kevin Roberts made a classic fascist threat: “We are in the process of the 2nd American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Then Trump took over, unleashing ICE to execute people in the streets. Republicans rule through violence.
