Happy news! My music video Hermosa Mariposa (Beautiful Butterfly) was just selected by Frome International Climate Film Festival to be shown, in the UK in May. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Gw...

Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/neNTKB4h

This. Speak for the butterflies. We need each other. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I took this picture during a previous meeting with Zelensky. This man is what courage and leadership actually look like.

We 💖 you Senate Pro Tem Mimi Stewart. Without you, NM would be as dry as a climate-denied future! 💕 Share this if you want Sen. Stewart to feel the love across the state! 💕

Tulsi Gabbard’s poor judgement and lack of national security experience make her wholly unqualified to keep Americans safe as our Director of National Intelligence. I voted no on her nomination.

Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has seized the private information of millions of people in the U.S., including Social Security numbers. We're not going to stand for it. We're at the Treasury Building alongside leaders and allies in demanding oversight and accountability for this hostile takeover.

Today, I rallied with my colleagues outside the Treasury Department to STOP Elon Musk's government takeover. They didn't let us in the building because they don’t want YOU to know what they’re doing in there. We won't give up until they take their hands off taxpayers' money.

Measles spreading across the Texas border into New Mexico... Despite the U.S. officially eliminating measles in 2000 after decades of vaccinations, "The occurrence of outbreaks has been increasing, with more than 286 cases in 31 states and Washington D.C." sourcenm.com/briefs/texas...

Good. Learn more about your rights when approached by ICE at www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Thanks to Conservation Committee Chair Stefanics and Sens. Hamblen, Sedillo-Lopez, Pope and Charley for voting "yes" and asking great questions of sponsor Sen. Mimi Stewart! #nmlegis

New Mexicans, if you will be personally affected by Trump's federal funding blockade, let Senator Heinrich's office know -- he needs compelling stories in his fight to protect the people of our state, and by extension, our nation. Help him tell our story. www.heinrich.senate.gov/updates-on-t...

Feeling overwhelmed with all the Trump news? @SierraClub is starting virtual Climate Action Hours where we'll gather monthly for updates on Trump’s attempts to gut climate & environmental protections & take meaningful action. Will you join me on Jan 29? app.sosha.ai/s/sAFriO83

"He [Trump] is bent on expanding fossil fuel demand, everywhere, at any cost." Trump's single-minded obsession with fossil fuels and efforts to ban clean energy will be devastating for our environment AND wallets. Trump is trying to force us to use fossil fuels — even if we have to pay the price.

Worrying about some of my dearest friends, people I love that are in harms way in Pasadena and Malibu, and I couldn't sleep. I'm filled with shame and sorrow that we have let climate change get this far, and now with the last election America seems to be embracing it. So I made this image to vent.

President Carter had amazing environmental legacy, but I just learned about his importance in protecting the wilds in my beautiful home, New Mexico! Thank you President Carter. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

Greeting you on Bluesky with this reminder They are living, thinking, feeling beings And they deserve our respect, even if we haven't earned theirs. One love

President Jimmy Carter was an environmental champion who protected more than 100 million acres of lands in Alaska, signed 14 major environmental bills and foresaw the climate crisis, and was an advocate for clean energy. We must work every day to honor and build upon his legacy.

ICYMI: This week the Biden admin took an important step to protect the Ruby Mountains of Nevada. Thank you, President Biden, for being a public lands champion & heeding the call from Tribes, local communities, & Congressional leaders like Senator Cortez Masto to protect this important landscape. 👏

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

I just posted a music video for the monarch butterflies, please check it out. They are so beautiful, and their migration is astonishing, and we need to act to protect them. The video is about all of those things. youtu.be/T0GwvmGTsMM

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to list the monarch butterfly as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH MARCH 12, 2025. They are in steep decline. Please speak up for them. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

New Mexicans rely on USPS to receive everything from paychecks to prescription medicine. I’m cosponsoring legislation that would require USPS to think twice before closing or downsizing rural mail processing facilities.

Volunteers counted 10,000 overwintering monarch butterflies last year in lighthouse field.. fourth largest count in California.

@bordercolliedogs.bsky.social I'm trying to share my video Z's Snow dance with the bordercolliedogs group, but I'm new to bsky and don't know how to do it. Any suggestions? www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrVo...

Now, when Biden has just pardoned his son, it is time for us to ask the President to also pardon to Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist who has been in unjustly in prison for decades. Encourage Biden leave a decent legacy, and finally bring this good man home. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo7G...

The elephant in the room We have 700 days until the mid term elections Republicans aren't exactly known for there ability to get things through congress. Together we can limit the damage and begin the repairs Get in this fight At @altyellonatpark.org
