TW: this video is difficult to watch. Shows police beating up a young woman
How many times does #eppd beat us up before we stop turning to them for solutions? How many times before we stop paying them for this bullshit?

SB 235 The Microgrid Oversight Act: Closes a dangerous loophole that exempts data centers from following our clean energy laws Brings so-called “microgrids” under the same standards that govern our state electric utilities Requires increasing amounts of clean energy to power data centers Requires big tech to report water use, energy use, and pollution Tell your state representative to hold data centers accountable: sc.org/microgrid-act
Big Tech’s Data Centers: Use enormous amounts of power. ONE proposal would require TWICE the power that PNM produces every year. These grids are not “micro” at all! Use enormous amounts of water, enough to supply almost 200,000 individual New Mexicans, or one bottle of water per AI prompt All while New Mexico is experiencing disastrous water scarcity that leads to record-breaking droughts and wildfires Tell your state representative to hold data centers accountable: sc.org/microgrid-act
If this Loophole is not Closed, then Microgrids: Could be powered solely by dirty energy Could effectively erase all gains New Mexico made to reduce climate pollution Could cause your utility rates to go up. A study found that Ohio’s rates increased 15 percent since data centers were introduced there Tell your state representative to hold data centers accountable: sc.org/microgrid-act
Tell State Lawmakers: Pass SB235 The Microgrid Oversight Act New Mexico cannot afford to give loopholes to big tech Our utility rates are too high Our water is too scarce Our state cannot stand more disaster-causing pollution Tell your state representative to hold data centers accountable: sc.org/microgrid-act
New Mexico has the opportunity to close a loophole that could allow data centers run on dirty power to further pollute our state and increase water scarcity. Tell your lawmakers to support The Microgrid Oversight Act at sc.org/microgrid-act

Looking SW towards Little North Point. The tallest tree is a northern pin oak (Quercus ellipsoidalis) and is displaying a form of marcescence, in this case the retention of leaves after senescence. Marcescence keeps our oak woods leafy long after most other tree leaves have fallen.

Unanse a nosotros para exigir su liberación inmediata, el Sábado, 25 de Octubre, 2025 a las 10 AM para un desfile y teatro afuera del ICE Processing Center. Alístense para un desfile de una media milla. Traigan agua, amigxs, pancartas, ollas, sartenes y cosas que hacen ruido.
We want to thank everyone who came out to vigils, made posts, shared stories, wrote letters, and showed your support for Xochitl's freedom. While we are overjoyed that she is home, we haven't lost sight of the fact that there are thousands in detention - over 2,300 in El Paso alone, with that number increasing daily. Join us in calling for their immediate release on Saturday, October 25th, 2025 at 10AM for a Liberation Parade and teatro in front of the ICE Processing Center. Prepare for a half mile march/parade route. Bring water, friends, posters, pots & pans and other noisemakers.

Free Cata “Xóchitl” Santiago! Phone zap and email flood. ICE continues to keep Xóchitl detained. We must keep pressure on ICE for her immediate release. As we await a ruling on Xochitl’s suit against the government, we must show the power of community and solidarity. Take action to demand her freedom.
Flood calls to the El Paso ICE field office and demand her release! (915)-225-1901 “ hello, I am calling to demand the release of Catalina Santiago from the El Paso processing center. On September 8 the immigration judge dismissed her deportation case. There is no legal reason for her to still be in detention, and she needs to be at home with her family and community.”
Flood emails to the El Paso ICE field office and demand her release! bit.ly/freexoch Free Cata “Xóchitl” Santiago!

A year ago this week, Sept 18-25, the San Rafael Valley was a different place, as you can see in this video, tracking wildlife that passed by a single camera. Now border wall is going up. We will continue to keep watch — so have heart and know that all walls eventually come down. ow.ly/1zaV50WXc5Z
“In a public meeting this week, developers said the initial fill would require about 10 million gallons of water, & that the system would use 7.2 million gallons annually. Daily water use for the campus would average around 20,000 gallons a day, capped at 60,000.”

If there is one thing I've learned from studying scams: When it's URGENT, you MUST ACT NOW or lose out, it's usually a scam. I used to live in a lower-income rural area & saw them come and go. "You're poor, be thankful, stop being a naysayer." Tucson stopped it, so can we. #datacenter #lascruces #NM
