By KELLY DOLEJSI
Los Alamos

Saturday’s No Kings events across the U.S. likely included some Marxists and anti-fascists, but the overwhelming majority of those peacefully protesting were there because we don’t want one branch of government to rule unchecked by the other two. Such a government is unconstitutional and anti-American.

By REBECCA RUTHERFORD

For the Los Alamos Daily Post

It started just after midnight Pacific Time on Monday—most of us were likely still half-asleep, relying on devices we trust to wake us, shop for us, secure our homes, keep us connected.

Instead, a massive outage across the internet made it clear just how thin the thread is that holds our digital lives together.

Corner To Corner

It’s local election season across New Mexico—our chance to choose the people who represent us closest to home: mayors, city councilors, and school board members.

While candidates have a responsibility to share their ideas and solutions, voters have an equal responsibility to vet those candidates. Doing that work now prepares us for 2026 and beyond, when more statewide and federal races will appear on the ballot. Yes, it takes time, but the payoff comes when you fill out your ballot knowing exactly who you’re voting for, what they stand Read More
