Big news this week: Farmington’s Historic Downtown earned their Arts & Cultural District authorization from the state! 🤩 www.nmmainstreet.org/press-releas...

It’s definitely a challenge!

She’s training for something for sure

Now I went & learned how to make semi-sweet cinnamon rolls. They’re not overly sweet, which is usually an ick for me. They’re perfect.

See, the problem with learning to bake different kinds of bread is that they’re so delicious, the loaves don’t last long with me.

I incorrectly assumed that Citizens Bank was a small, regional credit union in my area.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Came across an elder sharing stories on live. Listened in for a few hours. Shed some tears, he shared stories my Cheii told when I was little. I needed that. My heart & Being needed the reminder.

Oof…the entire article is poorly written

@EricLeeAtty via X: Children screaming and crying heard as a possible uprising of ~1500 underway at the ICE Children’s Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX. Multiple jurisdictions responding. Parts of the prison are on lockdown with reports of large groups of children being shackled together and moved.

“A Fraudulent Scheme”: New Mexico Sues Texas Oil Companies for Walking Away From Their Leaking Wells New Mexico’s lawsuit accuses three Texas oil executives of pocketing revenue from oil and gas wells and offloading cleanup costs to the public.

New Mexico filed a suit in late December alleging a yearslong pattern of fraud and self-dealing by three Texas oil executives.

The state faces millions of dollars in costs to clean up wells that drillers orphan through bankruptcies.

alot of Minnesotans keep saying: you don't understand how bad it is

just a reminder that Black and Native people do. we really. freaking. do.

This. Every single bit of this.

The thing is, white people have been asking nonwhite people for a minute since 1492.

If you haven't experienced people being kidnapped and being afraid to leave their house, that's your privilege. This not a change in process. It's an expansion of targeting. And that's a very bad sign. But not new behavior.

Truly. I am begging white liberals to stop pronouncing the death of democracy or America. This place has always been cruel to the people it knows it can exploit for profit. The only change is that you're on that list now too.

Purple & white bracelet with adorable purple functional charms

I’ve been wanting one of those. It’d be a cute addition to my charm bracelet 💜

Maricopa County

Genetics are wild. Any time I lose weight, the first place that slims down are my ankles & calves. My parents were both long distance runners in their youth, why’d I inherit only the lower third??

"this isn't America!" = Another example of avoidance and lying by omission at play.

I'm gonna say it again: America and Americans have been propping up a genocidal, slave-based system here the last 250 years. It is the most successful long-term fascist campaign in history. It puts Nazis to shame. Cause Nazis were inspired by it, but failed.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Screenshot of headline from People magazine reads: barron trump ‘helped save’ woman’s life after allegedly witnessing her being attacked by ex-boyfriend on video call

They’re soft launching barron which can mean only one thing, Its end must be near.

Not even an inkling

Over on tiktok (& this app) I see a lot of European-Americans reposting Greenlandic politician Tillie Martinussen’s recent interview & commenting “I want to move to Greenland they’re doing it right! I hate it here [US]!” & “Greenland sounds like a much better place to be” & I just sigh heavily.

They said Natives were reaching and now every other post is about colonizers trying to pull another "this land is our land" on Greenland

Something that gets triggered in me when I hear "folk music" was all the settler aggression that was ignored when Natives started resisting against "this land is out land" in the super bowl ads. And then settlers (including descendants of Woodie Guthrie ) got all offended.
