Polls show Trump approval hits record low in New Mexico - The Paper.
During the final days of the 2024 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump added a New Mexico stop to his agenda and declared “We can win New Mexico.” He lost 51%-46%, coming up short by more than 55,000 votes. Now, 18 months into his second term and just 6 months away from mid-term elections, a pair […]
AnarchoNinaWritesSo, in 24 hours Trump or his admin have:
signaled an intention to deschedule (kinda) marijuana, announced that Trump will NOT nuke Iran, claimed credit for a largely meaningless peace agreement between two of its client states, announced that the US government is making a medicine for deaf kids cheaper, and... told Wells Fargo to be nicer to California wildfire victims who lost their homes...
Buddy read his polls. Clearly.

Teri KanefieldToday is an important anniversary.
75 years ago, on April 23, 1951, in Farmville, VA, Barbara Johns led a walkout of her segregated high school to protest the unfair and deplorable conditions of her school.
What?! You don’t know who Barbara Johns was?
She led her walkout more than 4 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus, and before MLK, Jr. embraced nonviolence as the way to equality. After she and her classmates turned the rural town of Farmville upside down . . .

she called in the NAACP.
The NAACP took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Barbara and her classmates became plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark case that ended segregation in America. Their case was combined with cases from other states.
OK. Why wasn’t she given credit for her role as an early leader in the Modern Civil Rights movement and one of the first to use nonviolence as a means of achieving racial equality?
It's 2026, so people probably know the answer.
