New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them.

States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

With deep sorrow, we share that Sins Invalid’s Co-Founder & Director, Patty Berne, joined the ancestors on May 29, 2025.

Patty’s brilliance, love, and vision shaped how we move, care, resist, and imagine. We honor her by continuing the work she led.

New Mexico made child care free for most families. Believe it or not, the good thing is good.

The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

Something I haven't seen covered extensively with regards to the Department of Education is the fact that the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) funds early intervention services, along with Medicaid. EI is usually free, or very low cost for families.
