In the last year or so I made myself a camper in a minivan using a VanPackers kit. They make them for all models of vans. It was easy to install. Now, I am in love with my little minivan camper. Check them out: vanpackers.com?sca_ref=9989... #GetOutside

Do you know who “spent large portions of his life” with Epstein on an island? The felon who really needs to be impeached! Maybe the GOP will find their huevos. Or maybe they will cling to the carcasses sinking in their ship. It’s really up to each individual to decide where to hitch their soul.

Firing and forcing out our public lands stewards has real world consequences that none of us want.

Among the many horrors: Trump is going after all nonanglo people, going after all disabled people on multiple fronts, taking food from children, gutting housing grants, selling public lands, and more, and Albuquerque has one mayoral candidate who supports this, and one who fights back. #VoteKeller

There are even more reasons to love New Mexico: we have the “dream” ACA implementation.

Just a reminder this anti-steward of public lands has been nominated to lead BLM where he will be able to drill and mine and cut the old growth trees of some of our most precious wild landscapes.

Please, call your senators, Democrat or Republican, and tell them to oppose Pearce.
Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.

The kids and I are interviewing one of the world’s foremost digital privacy and security experts to learn what it takes to stay safe online. Kids will have to surpass their parents in this skill is my hunch. 🫤 What would you ask our guest?

Elect politicians who put people first. Thank you @govmlg.bsky.social for ensuring our neighbors won’t starve and our small groceries won’t go out of business.
We told New Mexicans we would stand up for them, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. New Mexicans won’t go hungry while Republicans in Washington, D.C. manufacture crisis after crisis.

Vote for Democrats like Melanie.
It looks like I’ll be headed back to DC again this week to vote another HELL NO on a bad deal that leaves millions of Americans without healthcare.

This is not what we fought for. I will always stand with the American people.

C’mon @heinrich.senate.gov and @lujan.senate.gov don’t cave for a bad deal.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

When the wifi didn’t function on my flight, the flight attendant agreed with me that this inconvenience was worth a glass of wine. My whole row got a glass since he said I shouldn’t ever drink wine alone. 😂

This is a direct violation of federal law and of federal trust and treaty responsibilities to our Tribal nations.

We are calling on Secretary Burgum to immediately stop this process, meet with Tribal leaders, and uphold the buffer protecting Chaco's irreplaceable cultural heritage.

Please there must be something you can do @heinrich.senate.gov & @lujan.senate.gov

Torturing disabled people is unthinkable but here we are.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

Super disappointing to not see *all* the progressive NM reps sponsor this. Looking at my rep
👁️ @javierfornm.bsky.social. 👀We all know our former (now dead) Gov Richardson was great friends w Epstein. Let the truth come out. Cosponsor this and let’s get it passed!
If Congress won't release the Epstein files, we will do our own investigation ...

2 #nmleg lawmakers outlined their "truth commission" proposal to investigate what took place at Epstein's ranch in Santa Fe County & the failure to hold people involved accountable

New Mexico lawmakers propose 'truth commission' on Epstein, alleged sex abuse at his former Santa Fe County ranch
But what unfolded at Zorro Ranch has not been thoroughly investigated, said Democratic state Reps. Andrea Romero and Marianna Anaya.

I honestly cannot figure out why anyone cares what another person’s gender identity might be. Can people just mind their own business? To those who busy themselves with other people’s personal identification: get a life!
