I guess this works for #RockinTuesday. I did not stack rocks. A beach on the north side of Washington Island off the Door County in WI. Wonderful area to see but have to take ferry. #DoorCounty

Today on #MMIWDay we honor the Indigenous women and relatives who are missing and have been taken and recommit to addressing this systemic violence and ensuring there are #NoMoreStolenSisters. We stand with Native families and communities in the fight to end this crisis. #MMIWR #MMIWP

So humbled that our project, "The Life of the Mother," has won the Pulitzer Prize for public service. Thank you Mayron Hollis and the families of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain and Porsha Ngumezi for trusting us to tell their stories. www.propublica.org/article/prop...

The road to Chaco Canyon NM. Driving into a sky so clear and blue it makes you want to stop and soak it all in. So open and endless. Monument is well worth the drive. #BlueSkyMonday #NewMexico #ChacoCanyonNationalMonument

I had a great sit-down with Source New Mexico to discuss my run for New Mexico Land Commissioner. If you want to learn about my background, experience, and vision for the office this Q&A is a good way to get to know our campaign. sourcenm.com/2025/04/25/j...

Today is MMIW Day - a day of awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women. In NM, I strongly support the new Turquoise Alert system, meant to quickly mobilize community resources to find missing persons from Tribal communities.

This should work for #BlueSkyMonday I think! From Ireland this past September at the Rock of Cashel...a place of politics, religion, betrayal, murder and intrigue! #EastCoastKin #Photography

My colleagues across the aisle just called our fight to protect Social Security “garbage.” I’m sorry—WHAT!?!?   Seniors, veterans, children, & people with disabilities are not “garbage.” We don’t work for billionaires. We work for the people. And, we will continue to fight like hell for them.

This International Workers’ Day, we honor the workers who power our communities—from our educators and healthcare workers to farmworkers and tradespeople. In NM, our work is rooted in community and I’ll keep fighting for unions, labor protections and to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table.

I was a review panel member for several NCI grant programs. This is crazy.

Older photo from slides taken in Ireland in 2001. Beach and rocks on the Dingle Peninsula, one of the best places I have visited. Friendliest people in the world. Hopefully back in 2026. #RockinTuesday #Dingle #Ireland

It was hiking on a carpet of gold. Southwestern Colorado in San Juan Mountains. #Stunday #Colorado #SanJuanMountains

The deported child with cancer is only 2 years old 🤬 Federal judge aising alarms that Trump administration deported a two-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with “no meaningful process” as the child’s father was frantically petitioning courts to keep her in the U.S. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Not my normal posting but got to attend the New Mexico United game on Wednesday. A win and scenic view made for a great night. Somos Unidos. #NewMexicoUnited #SomosUnidos

Taken just east of Teton National Park in 2013 during a government closure. Unable to get in the park but the views were still great. Another example of the regular citizens being punished for a political parties games. #Scapes

This year New Mexico will join a growing number of states that have outlawed popular ‘Glock switches’ that make some guns fully automatic stateline.org/2025/04/23/s...

Not sure how it happened but I took a lot of photos of building windows while in downtown North Platte NE in the summer of 2022. #WindowsonWednesday #NorthPlatteNebraska
