by

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.

The protest included the expected Progressives and Democrats, but also Centrists and former Republicans, united in our strong disapproval of how the president insults, indicts, lies about, fires, or otherwise ruins those who publicly disagree with him.

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
