Western History Association in ABQ was so great. Saw old friends (sad I didn’t see many others who I heard were there), talked with prospective authors for my UNM series, had a nice roundtable with other centers people, ate good food, & tried to stand up for democracy at the #NoKings march. #WHA2025

Got out of the Western History Conference #WHA2025 just to find #NoKings protest marching by. Was happy to join for the little bit I could. It was humongous. Patriotic Americans despise fascists like Trump and his MAGA cult

Folks at #WHA2025 are not the only ones doing the work of the historian at the Albuquerque Convention Center; in one sky bridge, there is also an artist with a brush and palette painting a magnificent fresco of New Mexico wine history.
