A security breach has affected the hospital and all of the HSC, including the med school. Instructions were to unplug all computers and turn off wifi in cellphones. Classes cancelled and non-essential staff sent home.

Officials at the UNM Health System on Monday announced that they were diverting all ambulances and canceling all appointments due to a “cybersecurity issue” that is impacting patients at one of the state’s largest hospitals and at dozens of clinics across the state. buff.ly/i8hb03L

This is so very wrong. The fact that Trump has issued an executive order on siting data centers is precisely the problem. Because BAAJA erodes bedrock environmental protections and will make it far, far easier for Trump to leverage his executive order to site AI data centers on public lands.

Bring back safe, legal abortion everywhere.

@alicemiranda.bsky.social shows that abortion bans aren’t just restricting reproductive care—they’re disrupting cancer treatments, chronic disease medications, fertility services and lifesaving medical research.

No surprise. Men who hate women hold too much power & influence. Do something every day to undermine them.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

🌪️ The Santa Fe tornado has been rated a high-end EF-1, with winds of 110 mph. The tornado traveled 1.4 miles between 7 and 7:08 pm Saturday, damaging 10 homes. No injuries were reported. This is only the THIRD documented tornado in Santa Fe and the first in 55 years. #NMwx

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

We have the award in the second Meta trial in New Mexico. It's 20 pages, but the short story is the court awarded the full amount of $219 billion and then immediately reduced it to $25 billion for unexplained reasons

The money goes to education. What are your dream ideas?

“I think today’s judgment from a state which admittedly is not very big in terms of population should be a clear warning to everyone in big tech,” NM AG Torrez said after the judge in the case against Meta issued the company a $25 billion penalty. buff.ly/531KSDy

Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s. They described Trump's first year back in office as "the most lucrative year of [Trump's] life." And it's not even close. Trump is earning hundreds of millions more than he ever has.
