You have discovered a planet. We could journey there on a broomstick. The safe sunrise watches on its cold dust. If there are cottonwood trees there, perhaps I might thrive.

450k NM SNAP recipients wouldn't get $90m in benefits.

"As of right now, it’s looking like those benefits will be delayed,” she said.

The dewpoint reached 60°F again on Tuesday, which is now the highest value for the period of October 14 through May 24.
There was no period of sustained humidity like this even during monsoon season!

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said
