A 17 year old Native teen was killed by a deputy in our Sheriff Office

What specifically should we be asking for (besides ‘justice’ which means what?) after this 17 year old from Mescalero was killed by our Sheriff?
The name of the Deputy?
Demand that the Deputy be charged?
Results of the investigation?

Mescalero Apache Christ Icon taken/stolen by Catholic Church

Mescalero is just recovering from recent fires and flooding when they discovered two pieces of art were taken surreptitiously.
Talk about disrespect. The sheer gall of it is sickening.
The Diocese acknowledges taking them, claiming they belong to the church. The current priest has called them pagan.

Who Palestinian prisoners are

I kept asking my husband who the Palestinian prisoners are, what their charges are as the exchange is being discussed because he watches more news than do.
I’m sickened to learn that 3,000 of the 8,300 Palestinians in Israel’s prisons are held in what Israel calls ‘administrative detention’. This means they are held without knowing what the charges are against them and without any ongoing legal remedies, any legal process.
I can only imagine the frustration, fear, growing anger, rage at this Kafka-Esque situation.

This DUer finally got to give invocation. The bastards gave a second Jesus-y invocation

After offering to give the invocation before our County Committee meeting and using legal threats since theirs are all ‘Lord Jesus blah blah Jesus God blah blah Jesus’.. I finally got to yesterday. I included Pride..
My invocation was inclusive and I added the importance of Pride month.
And for the first time ever, they gave a second invocation. Bastards. I’m calling them on it and recruiting folks to volunteer for giving the first or second invocation.
The two invocations are right at the beginning.

Couy Griffin just arrested

I don’t have a link yet but Cowboys for Trump leader was just arrested… locals shared a video.

This election denier, Jan 6 convict can’t run for office but can’t stay out of trouble.

Fraud and human trafficking ( of a grown man) are being mentioned.

'I Fought the Law and the Law Won' El Paso's Bobby Fuller 4

Graduated from HS in El Paso in 1969. Bobby Fuller and his folks lived a few houses down so we heard them practice in their garage. I attended dances. I loved Bobby Fuller.

Mr. duhneece listens to Morning Joe, who regularly plays clips of decent music. I told husband that we would be hearing ‘I Fought the Law…’ for sure. Within 5 minutes, we heard it.

It’s a little premature but such fun.

Thank you, DU for your support but our DUer Stephanie DuBois lost her race

Our Democratic candidates didn't win in our very red county but, again, we had a (mostly) full ticket. We know we can't win if we don't run.

I've made it my mission to run when I can, recruit and work for our candidates, up and down ballot.

I was electioneering yesterday and Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin tried to block my car and give me (verbal) grief. I called for help. Help arrived and they left. I'll follow up with law enforcement within days. I've already requested a police report for an attack on one of our canvassers.

Omaha Steve is actually responsible for my running, recruiting others to run and supporting us all the way. Thank you, OS. I am so grateful to this DU hero, angel, brother.

We have met so many younger women and lgbtq folks in our community and we will regroup and improve our strategy for next election.

Thank you, DU
Edited to correct: Our Congressional candidate Gabe Vasquez is tied 50/50 with election denierr, ALEC star but he’s ahead 925 votes

DUer Stephanie DuBois replaced Cowboys for TFG County Commissioners

Stephanie is my County Commissioner, appointed by the Governor, since Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin can never run for office in the US following his trial.

I’m so doing a happy dance.

Gym Jordan was just here with ALEC star, right wing Yvette Herrell. We’re kept busy here.

Back to work!

Jim Jordan appears here tonight with election-denier Congresswoman

We bought signs and social media ads with DU fundraising so we stopped. We had enough and there are so many other national and local candidates that still need your help.

This is just a quick rant: Jim Jordan is in Alamogordo tonight with Congresswoman Yvette Herrell. We plan a protest/rally for Democratic candidate Gabe Vasquez. I want a sign that says, 'National Pedophile Protector appears with local Pedophile Protector.'

I wrote a rant that I'm considering handing out (the documents don't show here) but it may be a lack of sleep and rage at these people:
"I was fine when Amy Barela chose to run for County Commissioner. I had seen court records that her husband was a pedophile but I don’t think a woman should be held guilty of a crime her husband committed … it did, however, raise a small red flag of alertness and seemed inappropriate, normalizing pedophilia. Then, I got a phone call during the ‘audit’ that a pedophile had come to the door of a woman too afraid to complain. I spoke at a County Commission meeting March 10, 2022 warning of pedophiles being volunteers....I went from being alert to being concerned when I saw that Amy was cited for animal cruelty after two visits.
A pedophile at the Republican booth at our county fair was reported, but protected by local Republicans.
That crossed a line. Now, a nationally known protector of pedophiles, Jim Jordan, appears with local pedophile protectors."
I'm scared of the concept of Republicans winning and pissed at my fear. Whew.

About duhneece

I'm running for New Mexico State Senate District #33. I ran for NM State Representative 4 years ago and feel more of a need to run, to pick up votes up and down ballot for Democrats in my state and at the national level. My DU family provided much support 4 years ago (much with the help of our beloved Pinboy3niner) and I know I can count on support now. We're in this together. I have received the endorsements/support of Planned Parenthoood Votes New Mexico; AFSCME American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees; NEA National Education Association of New Mexico; AFT-NM American Federation of Teachers New Mexico; Sierra Club; and named a Gun Sense Candidate by Moms Demand Action. I was concerned in my interviews as I shared that I was running a Combined Campaign to elect Democrats up and down ballot, that I would not provide only my campaign information but always include information for (especially, because she is in a very tight race) US Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small, President Biden and all the local state senate, state representatives, county clerk, treasurer and commissioner. I worked hard to get a full ballot of Democrats, first time in over 25 years. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/committee-to-elect-denise-lang-browne-1
