As things stand now, there may not be any presidential debates in 2024. And I’m not sure that would be a huge loss.
The Republican National Committee has announced that it will no longer participate in debates managed by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has been in charge since 1988. RNC officials say they will find, “newer, better debate platforms,” but anything they propose will have to be agreed to by the Democrats. This coming Saturday, May 14th, the community is invited to participate in a major new mural project called Pictograff: the Art of Indigenous Free Ways. Sponsored by the Brannigan Cultural Center and Arrowsoul Art, prominent graffiti muralists including Heck Ironcloud, Pecos, Ming, and Diego Medina, will create the mural on the west-facing exterior wall of the Museum of Art. Nan Rubin was joined in the studio by Interim Museum Director Stephanie Hawkins and local artist Saba who is helping coordinate the project in conjunction with the annual Illegal? Art gathering in Las Cruces.

Lisa Lucca talks with author Karen C L Anderson about the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, how difficult that relationship can be for some, and ways to take care of yourself with kindness.
