Maybe the “pro-life” legislator should focus more on helping his most vulnerable constituents and supporting Alamogordo staff than on throwing unnecessary punches at our neighborly city.

Interesting take from Rep Block, especially given Alamogordo city staff are currently seeking support from LC city staff on how to navigate their own housing crisis & build capacity to support their newly unhoused residents.
Pro-lifers want to interfere in our decisions to have children as long as we don’t dare ask them to help feed those children…
I’m so honored! I love LP so much! 💜🩷
Hating immigrants is the easier story they spin because it keeps their base riled up. The real story is that they just want to make their rich friends richer, it just happens to be on the backs of black and brown people. Their base? Yea they’re still living paycheck to paycheck.
Since Monday, Trump has:
-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors
How does this help working people?
Silence is loud.
First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.
Our beautiful border community rejects your hate!
Follow the money!!
Are you looking at your faith through the lens of your politics or are you looking at your politics through the lens of your faith?!
I know this isn’t enough to protect our immigrant community but my commitment from my role on the city council is to find all the ways in which we can continue to stand with our immigrant neighbors. Please share, the Spanish version is on my insta @johana4lc.
Working to put or keep people in the margins doesn't actually make your life better. It just makes you a hater. A miserable hater.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." —"Beyond Vietnam" (April 1967)
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice, which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.
When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered...
A revolution of values: "we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society.
Democrats have lost the plot on immigration…
AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time
Bernice King speaking the truth.👏👏💣
@localprogress.bsky.social has been one of strongest pillars of support for me as a city councilor. Couldn’t be more grateful for this network of amazing staff and fellow electeds! 💛✊🏽
Community of Hope is a guiding light in Southern NM! They deserve all the flowers! 💐💐💐
I can be grateful to @govmlg.bsky.social for supporting our amazing Amador Xs affordable housing project AND be disappointed in her recent tough on crime policy positions. Because one is a recognized best practice, the other is not. #housingnothandcuffs
NM, peeps! LA is my second home, and this place & my chosen family there mean a lot to me. My homie, @rudyespi.bsky.social & the org he leads, Inclusive Action for the City, is raising funds to support workers whose livelihoods depend on working outside. Pls share www.gofundme.com/f/cash-aid-f...
Proud of Las Cruces to leading the way in addressing housing with Amador Crossing, 50 units of supportive housing at the Community of Hope. Grateful for state and local legislators for funding, visionaries like Camp Hope’s director and MPT @johana-b.bsky.social Next up in February: zoning reform!
Border hawk recently drove through LC, through my district, highlighting mostly poverty and making outlandish claims about the unhoused community. But what else is to be expected by a “news source” created by a white nationalist?!
This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
I'm excited to share more about each in the coming weeks and hope you join me in the work you feel most passionate about. Let's get back to work!
improve our social infrastructure, animal welfare programs for LMI folks, ensure living wages for ALL city employees, commit to a plan with the opioid settlement, and of course, we must prepare for the Trump administration and the harmful policies of project 2025.
