If you’ve recently received an email claiming “your cloud account has been blocked”, you’re not alone. This is a growing phishing scam designed to look urgent, official, and just believable enough to trigger a response. Don’t fall for it, it’s just another scam.

These messages usually warn of suspicious activity, multiple failed login attempts, or a locked account that requires immediate action. Read More

I used to have a greeting card that said, “Some days I don’t know whether to change the world or enjoy the world. It makes it hard to plan the day.” If we do one, we can do the other. By changing the world, I don’t mean the entire world. I mean our world right here in New Mexico — the world around us. That’s why I’ve been paying close attention to what is happening with healthcare worker compacts (not just doctors) and medical malpractice reform.

The Santa Fe New Mexican

There’s a lot of money at stake when it comes to New Mexico’s medical malpractice laws.

From the 2020 primary election cycle through 2026, the Committee on Individual Responsibility — the political action committee associated with the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association — has made $937,000 in donations to individual politicians or their PACs and $442,200 to broader PACs such as those associated with House and Senate Democrats and the state House Read More

Fr. Glenn: Redeeming Time

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

One of the topics that arises frequently when speaking to families with young children is the parents’ desire for the kids to reach their potential, whatever potential that might be. And, speaking with older folks, very often while reminiscing about their lives, they’ll say: “I wish I would have done this or that like I had planned.” And yet, in this latter case, as we well know, life often gets in the way.
