Editor, Often people feel disillusioned by climate change because they believe the issue is too big, and the culprits too abstract, for their individual actions to matter. However, this should no longer be the case. The fossil fuel industry is the obvious climate antagonist, and the means of combating this industry is increasingly clear and concrete.
Editor, I am writing in response to the guest column “Insurance providers threaten our health,” published on March 24 in the Daily Lobo, to provide a better understanding of the collaborative decisions that were made by the University of New Mexico Hospital and Presbyterian Health Plan.
If you have pain in your jaw joint, painful popping or clicking, difficulty opening or closing your mouth, headaches or earaches, you might have TMJ. TMJ stands for tempero-mandibular joint, but is also used as a label for disorders of this same joint.

The human race stands on the brink of a profound transformation — one that could signify the end of civilization as we know it. We are fast approaching a time when computers will be more intelligent than human beings.

I am a political science student who aspires to focus on international law. I therefore believe it was my responsibility to participate in the outcry that has resulted from the excessive brutality that has been administered by the Albuquerque Police Department.
If you are a Tinder user (or have a very rude boyfriend,) you have probably received this exact message at least once: “Wanna fuck.” “Isn’t it the best pick-up line you have ever heard?” Collette said one night after she received yet another one of these messages.
Editor, While everyone seems to be obsessed with the inadvisable tactics of a few lone wolf protesters, I would like to draw attention to an overlooked aspect of the events on Sunday. According to multiple sources, the Twitter accounts of #OpAlbuquerque and #APDProtest were censored.
Sunday’s protest in Albuquerque brought attention to the long-standing problem of police violence and stirred public debate on protest methods. Critics claim that this unruly behavior detracted from the protesters’ cause by disrupting the lives of fellow citizens and requiring costly public services to contain the outrage. Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said, “they’ve taken it far beyond a normal protest.” But what is a “normal” protest?
First, let me say that I applaud the main goals of your protest on Sunday with regard to grievances with the Albuquerque Police Department’s questionable shootings of 37 people over the past four years, 23 of which were fatal.
The Duke City has several interesting venues that will enlighten, educate, entertain and gather social interests this week. These are some great, free events, and we compiled them just for you.
Editor, Residents of Redondo Village surely appreciated the advice printed in the Albuquerque Journal today, that “UNM… advised students to use their air conditioners if the gas caused any issues.” If our air conditioners worked, you bet we would have been using them instead of keeping all of the windows open in a futile attempt to keep our rooms livable.
Editor, I am grateful to the men and women who devote their lives to law enforcement in the City of Albuquerque and in Bernalillo County. They place themselves in danger to enforce the laws that make our city a civilized place to live.
Editor, In the aftermath of APD’s week from hell, city officials claim to have referred the foothills shooting to the Department of Justice. Considering Mayor Berry and his police administration seem to see nothing wrong with the 23 police shootings over the past 4 years
If you haven’t heard by now, Susana Martinez is trying to prevent public sector unions from collecting membership dues. The governor’s conversation may be about dues, but the deeper context is about something much greater: the existence of unions, the right to organize and workplace democracy.
Artful detective Sherlock Holmes once proclaimed, “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”
Editor, I no longer feel safe on campus. Not because of muggings or drugs; it’s because of street harassment. I’ve been harassed many times on campus. These ranged from a drunken “I LOVE YOU!” on my way to teach a class one morning, to being catcalled while walking hand in hand with my six-year-old stepson.
Spring has officially sprung at UNM. The grass is green, the sprinklers are overshooting onto the sidewalks and the trees that smell like semen are in full bloom. I decided to do some spring cleaning over break, which is when I discovered that I am a hoarder.
Editor, I find the photo in the TD’s North Show Club advertisement in the Daily Lobo’s Tuesday, March 25 issue to be very offensive, discriminatory and possibly unlawful harassment in the workplace.
