How America’s “Most Powerful Lobby” Is Stifling Efforts to Reform #Oil Well Cleanup in State After State

In #NewMexico, oil companies agreed to work with regulators to find a solution to the state’s more than 70,000 unplugged wells. After months of negotiations, the industry turned against the bill it helped shape.

Voted in #SantaFe #NewMexico today, a place where the Democratic primary determines some of the ultimate races. One race really struck me as emblematic of the future, assuming constitutional democracy survives in the U.S. 1/

Never missing an opportunity to make life easier for extractive industries,
House Republicans passed a suite of bills this week to boost development and dismantle environmental protections across millions of acres of federal land.

The bills stand little chance of passing in the Democratic-controlled Senate,
but they give GOP industry allies something to tout heading into the 2024 elections.

And since several of the measures closely mirror priority actions found in Project 2025,
the 920-page policy blueprint that dozens of right-wing organizations compiled to guide former President Donald Trump,
it might be a preview of what’s to come next year should Trump win the election.

Dust storm. It was conditions of this sort which forced many farmers to abandon the area. Spring 1935. New Mexico

#NewMexico #theDustBowl

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759935/

The image depicts a scene of a dust storm in New Mexico during the spring of 1935. A solitary figure stands near the center of the frame, appearing as if they are being swallowed by the storm. The person is dwarfed by the cloud of dust that envelopes them, their form nearly obscured from view due to the intensity of the storm. In the background, a dilapidated house can be seen, hinting at the hardships faced by those living in such harsh conditions. The sky above is dark and heavy with clouds, suggesting an impending or ongoing severe weather event. The ground appears to be strewn with debris, indicating that the storm is not just a dust cloud but also brings destruction in its wake. There are no visible trees or greenery, further emphasizing the desolate nature of the scene. The image captures a moment of intense weather, likely part of the Dust Bowl era, which was marked by severe droughts and stormy conditions that caused significant displacement and hardships for farmers and families in this region.

    New Stanford-led research shows that U.S. oil & gas facilities are emitting more than 6 million tons of methane per year, 3 times the level predicted by the U.S. government ... fewer than 2 percent of emitters are responsible for 50 to 80 percent of emissions in nearly all regions surveyed.

    "The portion of the Permian Basin was by far the highest emitter, with nearly 10% of total methane volume produced in 2019 going straight to the atmosphere."

    Over half of hospitals are not complying with a new rule requiring price transparency. Corporate run hospitals that refuse to comply with federal law and let patients know what their services cost do not deserve to exist. It is time for and for the government to nationalize healthcare. https://www.kunm.org/local-news/2024-03-07/over-half-of-new-mexico-hospitals-arent-compliant-with-a-federal-transparency-rule-says-advocacy-group

    👏🏻 Via Democracy Docket:

    BREAKING: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signs a bill banning the open carry of near polling places.

    It is now illegal in New Mexico to openly possess a firearm within 100 feet of a polling place and 50 feet of a drop box.

    I’ve been doing this self-portrait poetry series every January for the past few years.

    I think it’s a cool way to see how my life has changed but also how my writing has evolved.

    #1 was written in Vermont, #2 was written in New Mexico, and #3 was written in Washington.

    Finished this year’s portrait a day late but I think it still counts.

    @poetry

    Self-Portrait in Solitude, Late January #1 (2022) She collects words and rocks them in her arms like a mother would her baby: Sallow, nighthawk, and serendipity. She presses her cheek against the window. The sun beckons, the cloud of heat both soft and heavy at the same time. She wafts into her socks and snow boots, tying first the left, then the right laces. She reminds herself to keep her heart always open. Outside, she looks for omens like a half-moon in blue sky or robins weaving ribbons in a nest. She kicks blocks of ice down the sidewalk until they break into dust. She grins. She asks herself questions just to hear them echo in the cathedral of her mind: When you enter a poem, who speaks through the mouthpiece? How come squirrels wonder where and corvids wonder why? If Sunday were forever, what would stillness feel like?
    image/jpeg

    Self-Portrait in Solitude, Late January #2 (2023) The dirty work is done; she retreats to the peak called Watch Tower, cross-legged on the street facing the Cathedral. She listens for the downhill silence, an echo of upwind's childish joy: lodine, sun-daze, tumbleweed. She devours heat and sound like a starved animal, a flea gnawing on the hides of time. Her thumbs ache and she thinks, here, at last, a pain that belongs. A QR code unfurls into a webpage full of lies. She remembers how to make a home, how to keep a fire burning through the long dark eve. Love and fear braided like sage and carried beyond the mountain range, from this coast to that, where the sun sets just a little bit later. She watches who's here and she wonders who's been here, beneath the roses. The ghosts of America, the barely not-consumed. Three black cats, buying suits for a wedding. She curls up to protect her face, her stomach. An old man nearby says to his companion: "Well, now that we're having lunch, what do you think we'll do for dinner?" A prayer for the life she couldn't afford to spare. A prayer for her lover's wife. A prayer for the body under the bridge with the bullet through its head. 6-7-7-2. She squints. "It's only this far on a map, though —which direction? Wish I knew."

    Today in Labor History February 2, 1848: The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, ending the U.S. war with Mexico. As a result of the treaty, Mexico was forced to cede over 1/3 of its territory to the U.S., including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Texas. 25,000 Mexicans and 12,000 Americans died in the war.
