Following an investigation by New Mexico In Depth and ProPublica, Gallup-McKinley County says it cut down on long-term suspensions for Indigenous children and implemented policy reforms. But the state has not made it easy to verify these claims.

Tennessee’s Law on School Threats Ensnared Students Who Posed No Risks. Two States Passed Similar Laws.

Despite an outcry over increased arrests in Tennessee, two states — Georgia and New Mexico — followed its lead by passing laws that will crack down harder on hoax threats.

Democratic and Republican lawmakers across the country tried to push through bills to tighten gift limits, toughen conflict-of-interest provisions or expand financial disclosure reporting requirements. But many of the measures were derailed.

Time for a new #introduction!

I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.

I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands

I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing

I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.

New Mexico’s lawsuit accuses three Texas oil executives of pocketing revenue from oil and gas wells and offloading cleanup costs to the public.

A 2024 ProPublica and Capital & Main investigation uncovered some of their companies’ business dealings.

Albuquerque Officials Take Steps to Curb Surge in Citations, Jail Stays Related to Homelessness
---

The changes come after ProPublica reported that charges for crimes related to homelessness have skyrocketed under Mayor Tim Keller. In 2025, people were charged 1,256 times for obstructing sidewalks — nearly six times the number in the previous eight years combined.

Well, I just returned from a VERY interesting #Indivisible #SantaFe (ISF) meeting. Santa Fe’s new mayor was summoned to the meeting by a #NewMexico state legislator in attendance. This led to me having to supply the meeting with an impromptu presentation on First Amendment law and why the City of Santa Fe cannot lawfully charge ISF $25,000+ for a closed streets permit for #NoKings on March 28. 1/

During his reelection campaign last fall, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said you can’t “arrest your way” out of homelessness.

But a ProPublica analysis found that under Keller, the city has increasingly jailed homeless people.

The Navajo Nation report cited a 2022 New Mexico In Depth and ProPublica investigation that found Native students in New Mexico were disproportionately punished, with the Gallup-McKinley district — which has the nation's largest Indigenous student body — largely responsible.

NEW: Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

In 2023, New Mexico’s AG ordered an investigation into one school district after ProPublica and New Mexico In Depth revealed Native students were expelled more often than any other group.

The investigation confirmed “substantial racial disparities.”
