#ICEOut
Albuquerque Civic Plaza, January 30, 2026
Too bad bsky.moderation doesn't respond to appeals from accounts who are mislabeled.
This afternoon at 2 pm, downtown Albuquerque 🫡
(around the No Kings logo, images of megaphones, and a photo of protesters holding signs that read “ICE OUT”) MARCH 28 NO KINGS NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.
The date for the next No Kings Day is set.
But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵
@maddow.bsky.social pretty cold here in little Las Vegas, New Mexico, but #Minneapolis showed us how it's done.
Proud of the Duke City and the local organizers. Albuquerque showed up today. Courthouse protest turned into a march.

Heading to a rally later this morning. How is everyone doing? I am wondering when I will be able to sleep past 3 am again. My circadian rhythm is discordant at this point.
Makes sense. This account is promotional...promoting awareness/appreciation for New Mexico, mostly in an uncompensated capacity. Not much beyond covering costs. I don't even have a t-shirt for sale. 🤣
On the other hand, posting about travel on social media in 2026 seems like an exercise in futility, particularly while sporting a spam label. 😑
Idea for 2026 New Mexico travel messaging...
There are lots of free/cheap things to see & do, in pretty/peaceful environments, often with no cell phone signal, power lines, or humans.
International travel is toast + domestic travel declines dramatically if we are broke & society is a hot mess.
Dripping Springs Trail is an easy to moderate, 3-mile loop trail near Las Cruces, New Mexico. It leads to the ruins of a 19th-century resort and sanatorium. Another trail leads to Hermit's cave, a rock shelter occupied by the Italian hermit Giovanni Maria Agostini in the 1860s.
