I was pretty shocked when I saw this map earlier today. It’s great to donate to your local food bank, but it looks like people in New Mexico will be in the most desperate need when SNAP funds run out November 1. Wherever you live, if you’re looking for a food bank to give to, consider one in NM.
Map of the United States, shaded to show which states had higher and lower rates of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) participation as of November 2022. The highest rate is 24%, the lowest 5%. New Mexico is shockingly dark — almost a quarter of its population relies on SNAP, or did a few years ago! Some other states with higher rates of SNAP participation include: Louisiana, West Virginia, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Illinois.

In case you want all the restaurants in the #Albuquerque area that are offering free meals to kids during the #SNAP benefits outage, this post lists all the ones that I listed in separate posts yesterday. I'm sure more will announce that they are willing to help today.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

80 years ago this morning—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.
A black and white, high-speed photograph of the Trinity explosion at 0.025 seconds, showing what looks like a very large, slightly irregular bubble with a curtain of dust all around its bottom edge against a pitch dark sky. A scale indicating “100 meters” shows that the fireball was already approximately three times that size. Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion a few milliseconds later, showing an almost ghostly mushroom cloud with glowing tendrils rising from the ground above the very bright fireball. Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion with the same 100-meter scale, this time at 60 seconds post-detonation, showing a very large and billowy mushroom cloud rising into the sky. Another black and white photograph of the Trinity explosion taken some minutes after the previous photograph and showing the ominous looking mushroom cloud at a distance, its top spreading out and merging with regular clouds.

Today is the 80th anniversary of Trinity. At 1 P.M. Eastern, the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium will dedicate the first permanent public marker to the New Mexicans who died or were made ill by radioactive fallout that nobody told them was coming. searchlightnm.org/trinity-bomb...

These are New Mexico’s public lands.
A rocky protrusion glows in the evening sun, rising over the lava fields of El Malpais. Vivid yellow and pink wildflowers cling onto a rocky precipice in the Sandia Mountains, with Albuquerque visible below in the distance. A peaceful creek with scattered stones flows through a lush, green meadow under a striking grey sky A field of native grasses under a fiery sunset, with a small volcanic plug rising in the background

A creek with small rapids running through a lush meadow surrounded by conifer forest. The sky is bright blue with puffy clouds reflected in the water. A bright yellow orange swath of Aspens turning in the fall fills the frame, extending over mountain ridges into the distance. Bright yellow wild sunflowers fill a green field with El Morro national monument rising in the distance. The sky is blue and full of puffy clouds. The Sandia Mountains, with a rocky foreground dropping off to green ridges full of trees, under a sky of wispy clouds

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.

Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies.

It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

Alonzo Aragón, 50, and Felicia Aragón, 45, came from Albuquerque — where a companion protest is being held — because they thought the protest at the Capitol would be more significant. It's the first protest they have ever attended.

"New Mexico hasn't had a king since 1822," said Alonzo.
