Potential $219 billion penalty: Jury finds Meta misled New Mexicans 43.9 million times
Sep 25, 2026 · original
By Kevin Hendricks In 2010, Mark Zuckerberg told Facebook users, “We do not and never will sell any of your information to anyone.” A Santa Fe jury didn’t buy it. Jurors in state District Court found Friday that Meta Platforms Inc., formerly Facebook Inc., willfully violated New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act 43,899,720 times by misleading users about their data, misinformation, hate speech and more. Each violation carries a penalty of up to $5,000, which puts Meta’s maximum exposure at roughly $219.5 billion. Attorney General Raúl Torrez said Facebook spent years acting as if the rules didn’t apply to it. “Today, a jury of New Mexicans said otherwise,” he said. Torrez said he instructed his trial team to seek the maximum penalty. State law routes civil penalties like these into a fund that supports New Mexico schools, he said. What the jury found Jurors reviewed public statements from Zu
U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández wants New Mexico to hit pause on data centers
Sep 24, 2026 · original
By Jesse Jones, The Paper. — U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández wants New Mexico to hit pause on new data centers, saying Thursday that companies should first prove they can protect the state’s water, keep electricity costs from passing onto families and bring jobs and benefits to local communities. In a press release, Leger Fernández laid out her “No Blank Checks for Data Centers Principles,” a six-point plan that includes several of the same priorities as the data center protections Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland proposed last week . Leger Fernández called for a moratorium on new data center development until companies meet her principles. “We will not give them a blank check,” she said. “Data centers must work for New Mexico, not the other way around.” Aerial photos taken on June 26, 2026, show the construction site for Project Jupiter, the Oracle and OpenAI data center
No más litter: Salamanca Twins join Imagine ABQ Day cleanup Saturday
Sep 24, 2026 · original
By Kevin Hendricks, The Paper. Albuquerque’s most notorious twin hitmen return Saturday, and this time they have one target: your trash. Volunteers can pick up gloves and bags at five hubs across the city for Imagine ABQ Day, a citywide cleanup running 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 26. Afterward they can meet Breaking Bad’s Salamanca Twins at three stops. The City Council proclaimed the last Saturday of every September as Imagine ABQ Day. This year marks the fifth, and organizers are billing it as the biggest yet, according to the group’s operations plan. Hubs at two fire stations, Nob Hill, Barelas and the Bosque will hand out supplies, take in full bags and match solo volunteers with groups. The fire station crews will set up on side streets so they don’t block 911 calls. The Barelas hub, led by the Office of the Governor, plans a mural reveal, a community walk and a press conference with Gov
From cafeteria to compost: How APS is turning lunch waste into local soil
Sep 24, 2026 · original
By Rodd Cayton Food that doesn’t reach the bellies of Albuquerque students could help heal the planet. A new partnership will divert uneaten organic foods into a composting operation that will return nutrients to the soil. The program is part of Albuquerque Public Schools’ effort to do its part in New Mexico’s Healthy Universal School Meals Initiative. The goal is to expand the pilot into a permanent, district-wide initiative. APS’ central kitchen prepares some 46,000 meals a day. The other partners are Soilutions, Denali Corp, and the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District. The conservation district this school year is funding a pilot program aimed at reducing the amount of food waste that ends up in landfills. Soilutions CEO Dawn Dewey said the new initiative builds on the company’s Generation Grow program, which has donated compost, soil, and mulch to schools and community gardens
Six months of lawsuits left Albuquerque with a $4.38 million tab
Sep 24, 2026 · original
By Jesse Jones, The Paper. — Mayor Tim Keller sent two overdue quarterly litigation reports to the City Council last month, revealing $4.38 million in lawsuit settlements over six months, including a case in which a police SWAT operation burned down a family’s home and killed a teenage boy hiding inside. At its Sept. 21 meeting, the City Council approved two overdue fiscal year 2026 quarterly litigation reports on its consent agenda. The Mayor’s Office submitted the reports compiled by the City Attorney’s Office on Aug. 14, after the city had gone nearly a year without providing the Council with required litigation updates during the prior fiscal year. One covers October through December 2025 and was about seven months late, while the other covers January through March 2026 and was about four months late. Joshua Boone, Mayor Tim Keller’s pick for city attorney, attends the Albuquerque Ci

The Haaland-Hull debate over debates is dumb. Here’s how to do it better.
Sep 23, 2026 · original
By Pat Davis, nm.news — I’m tired of hearing and reading about how Deb Haaland and Gregg Hull won’t debate each other. Their campaigns will both say they have tried and this week they both pledged to show up – to different debates in different places and on different dates. Pat Davis Mail Bluesky X Pat Davis is a former police officer and recovering politician working to save local news for New Mexico. After serving two terms as an Albuquerque City Councilor, he became the founder and publisher of nm.news . The truth is, standard televised debates rarely change anyone’s mind. Standard formats—where candidates line up behind podiums and recite canned responses to run out the clock—don’t reflect how governors actually govern. Governors don’t make decisions from behind podiums; they make them in closed rooms with advisors and lobbyists armed with arguments to win the day. What voters really
