New Mexico LGBTQ+ advocates prepare for Trump presidency

By Lily Alexander @llilyalexander

As former President Donald Trump prepares to take office, LGBTQ+ advocates in New Mexico are preparing for the administration’s potential impact on Queer and transgender rights in the state.

New Mexico is considered one of the most protected states in the coun-

try for LGBTQ+ people, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico. The state’s Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The Act was updated during the 2023 legislative session, extending its scope and expanding definitions.

New Mexico law cannot supersede federal law, according to Marshall Martinez, executive

director of Equality New Mexico — an LGBTQ+ policy and civil rights organization. But some potential Trump administration measures do not involve federal law and would not supersede New Mexico’s protections for LGBTQ+ people, Martinez said.

At the federal level, the Trump administration may rescind antidiscrimination Department of Labor rules passed by President Joe Biden or former President Barack Obama, according to Martinez.

If the Trump administration takes this step, New Mexico’s Human Rights Act will still apply to New Mexico employers, Martinez said.

“The attack that I think we will see and hear that will actually be most confusing for folks is the idea, at the federal government, that it is ok again to discriminate in employment or housing or whatever, and New Mexico law will still say it is not,” Martinez said. “When you are doing business in New Mexico, you have to abide by New Mexico law.”

However, New Mexico law cannot govern the military or federal employees, Martinez said.

In terms of preparedness and the upcoming state legislative session — where EQNM will lobby — Martinez said New Mexico already has

ASUNM Senate elects Rutherford next president pro tempore

By Elliott Wood @DailyLobo

On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the Associated Students at the University of New Mexico met not just to deliberate 10 appropriations and three bills — all of which eventually passed — but also to celebrate the semester and elect a new president pro tempore.

In his opening address, Vice President Mutazz Jaber congratulated the senators on their individual and committee accomplishments.

This semester, the Finance Committee awarded over $420,000 to student groups across UNM through appropriations, outgoing President Pro Tempore Hope Montoya said.

The committee’s chair, Sen. Bai -

ley Rutherford, was elected to the position of president pro tempore for next semester after winning against his opponent, first-term Sen. Josiah Ward. The president pro tempore presides over the senate when the vice president is absent. Appointments made by the president also go through the president pro tempore, according to the ASUNM Constitution.

Rutherford was nominated for the position by Montoya, while Ward was nominated by Steering and Rules Committee Chair Sen. Jackson Zinsmeyer.

The senate also ran an unofficial election to determine who should be recognized as the term’s Outstanding Senator. While the first round of ballots narrowed the competition to Zinsmeyer

and Sen. Alexa Lucero, the results of the second round will not be known until the title is awarded at the April Recognition Reception.

There were two guest speakers absent from the meeting: UNM President Garnett Stokes and Provost James Holloway, who were set to speak and answer questions from the senate on behalf of the student body and the respective organizations the senators advocate for.

The senate passed Bills 16F and 17F, which sought to protect the integrity of ASUNM elections. Bill 16F prevents physical coercion or intimidation by representatives of campaigns. Bill 17F restricts the use of University resources for the promotion of a campaign.

Bill 20F, which will establish the role of “student advocate” within the ASUNM judicial system, failed during the last senate meeting due to policy around witness cross-examination that made it unpopular among the legislature.

After that policy was removed from the bill during this meeting, it was passed by the senate, creating the student advocate role. The goal of the role is to make the ASUNM legal system more accessible to students who don’t feel comfortable representing themselves or aren’t eligible for representation by the attorney general, according

the basic protections for LGBTQ+ people in place.

In a statement to the Daily Lobo, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham wrote that the state has worked to ensure its laws reflect fundamental equality and human rights principles.

“If the Trump administration acts to undermine these protections, we will push back in court,” Lujan Grisham wrote. “While we cannot predict the future, we are committed to doing everything in our power to protect the rights of LGBTQ New Mexicans. This is not a time for complacency.”

EQNM is evaluating the laws New Mexico has passed in the last five years to ensure that they are as strong as possible, Martinez said. If they are not, he said the organization will work to amend them.

Trump will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025. The New Mexico legislative session begins the following day.

Within a week of the session, EQNM and legislators will see a series of executive orders, public statements and proposed policies that Trump lays out, according to Martinez. Then, EQNM will further engage, he said.

“We’re not just going to wait and see what happens,” Martinez said.

“We’re preparing, but we’re also not acting until we have a reason to.”

At the University of New Mexico, Juniper Reimagined — a Queer and trans student alliance — will continue to provide a place of solidarity in January 2025, while thinking about the most effective forms of advocacy, co-Chair Amy Lewis said.

“There have been challenges before, and there are gonna be challenges,” Lewis said. “It might get harder, but I think we already have that foundation of just being a place of support and community.”

Martinez said now is not the time for Queer and trans people to panic, but to take care of themselves and their communities.

“We don’t want to hypothesize about what the Trump administration will do in a way that scares the LGBTQ community for no reason,” Martinez said. “When we see what the attack is, we will be ready to meet it at the state level and do everything to push back on it.”

Exodus Ensemble breaks the fourth wall

By Nate Bernard & Addison Fulton @natebernard14 & @dailylobo

From Nov. 6 to Nov. 24, Santa Fe-based theatrical group Exodus Ensemble went on tour in Albuquerque with its interactive, immersive sci-fi production, “ZERO.” The Exodus Ensemble, which typically specializes in immersive theater with a focus on audience interaction, held its shows at Chatter.

ZERO follows four characters — or players — who have been placed into a game by a sentient, murderous, humanoid artificial intelligence named Daisy. Only one will make it out. At

the beginning of the show, audience members pick a player to support, then compete in simple mini-games to win points to help their character be the one to survive.

The players include Ryan Kirby as Zero, the scientist who created Daisy; Patrick Agada as Tony, the CEO of the company that Zero works for; Tiff Abreu as Leif, Zero’s wife and the chief of marketing; and Kevin Kelly as Shru, a custodian.

The show’s unique format creates heightened tension, Kelly said.

“There is something about the fourth wall being broken, the fact that you’re actually present with the action, that I think is pretty rare in traditional theater,” Kelly said. “It’s pretty intense, and it’s asking for a lot

more trust to really go places with people. And I think ultimately what I want to create … is a lot of intimacy, vulnerability and community.”

Exodus does not charge for tickets, instead asking for donations after a performance. Kya Brickhouse, special events coordinator and one of the founding ensemble members, said that the donation model is meant to keep theater equitable and inclusive by preventing paywalls that keep people out.

Kirby said that getting the audience involved in the show is the most difficult part of creating the immersive theater.

In his role, Kirby spoke with an Irish accent. Kirby has Irish heritage and it’s something he’s always want-

ed to explore, he said.

“We were making the show, and I’m like, ‘Fuck it, I’m just gonna try it,’” Kirby said. “And then everyone was like, ‘I think that’s right. I think it makes sense if he’s on a different plane culturally than other characters.’”

Since the Exodus Ensemble began in the wake of the pandemic in 2020, the team has created six shows in total, according to its website.

The ensemble’s other shows include BATHSHEBA, a retelling of the biblical David and Bathsheba story set in a modern day cult; JAYSON, set in the cutthroat world of the Los Angeles music industry where audiences judge Jayson’s choices; DEATHCOOKIE, a moving murder mystery in a train car that

departs and returns to the Sante Fe Depot; HAMLET, a revenge drama featuring the supernatural; and IVANOV, a comedic drama about two families sprinting away from grief, debt and responsibility, according to its website.

On Nov. 1, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the first-ever birth of black-footed ferrets to a cloned parent — marking the first time a cloned U.S. endangered species has produced offspring.

The ferret babies — aka kits — named Red Cloud and Sibert were born to their cloned mother, Antonia, and their father, Urchin, earlier this year, according to Smithsonian Magazine.

Cloning refers to processes used to create an identical genetic copy of a biological entity, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute.

Black-footed ferrets were thought to be extinct until a small population was rediscovered in Meeteetse, Wyoming in the 1980s, according to Meeteetse Museums.

Of that population, seven ferrets were able to reproduce. The current population, aside from the clones and Antonia’s kits, is entirely descended from those seven ferrets, according to a USFWS press release.

Antonia is a clone of Willa, one of the original ferrets who was captured in Meeteetse as part of a conservation program that began in the 1980s.

Unlike the seven founding ferrets, Willa did not reproduce in captivity, and the samples of her genetic material were collected in 1988, according to the USFWS press release.

Justin Chuven, the recovery program coordinator for the USFWS National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center, said this was a lucky situation. The biologists who collected the genetic material preserved it in a frozen zoo in San Diego at the time, he said.

“At that point, they didn’t know what they were really collecting the material for other than in the hopes that at some point in the future, the technology would exist to actually do something like we have done now with that material,” Chuven said. “Incredible foresight there.”

Since Willa was not a founding ferret, Antonia’s kits provide a unique opportunity to introduce further genetic diversity into the black-footed ferret population, Chuven said. Increasing genetic diversity can make species more adaptable to changes, which is especially important for endangered species with small populations, according to NOAA Fisheries.

“Lots of endangered species get down to very low population numbers, and therefore you decrease

the genetic diversity that’s available,” Chuven said. “(Willa) has already passed away without contributing her genetic material to the population, so normally it’s lost. But in this case, we’re actually resurrecting genetic material to incorporate into the existing population.”

According to an April USFWS press release, these samples contain triple the amount of unique genetic variations than in the current population.

Making an endangered species more resilient is crucial to its survival, according to Monarch Watch.

Conserving the ferret population doesn’t just help the ferrets, Chuven said.

“You are conserving and protecting the prairie habitat,” Chuven said. “Which is not only conserving and protecting the black-footed ferret — it’s also all of the other species that occupy that habitat.”

The birth of Red Cloud and Sibert marks the successful introduction of Willa’s genetic material to the population, thus making Willa the eighth founding ferret — more than 40 years after the species was rediscovered.

On Tuesday, Nov. 19, Laura Banks, president of the nonprofit Bird Alliance of Central New Mexico, spoke about migratory birds to a nearly full audience at Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm.

Banks told the Daily Lobo that during this time of year, the most visible birds in New Mexico are sandhill cranes, Canada geese, waterfowl and different species of ducks.

Migratory birds almost double their body weight during migration season to store fat, which they use as fuel while flying, according to Banks.

“After migration, they just burn it all off,” Banks said. “When they’re not migrating and not breeding, they’re eating.”

The presentation was part of a

monthly lecture series at Los Poblanos.

Kate Garner, the culture and community event director at Los Poblanos, said it has been hosting the lecture series since 2021.

“We’ve never done a talk on migratory birds, but it’s one of the main things people are interested in when they visit Los Poblanos in the fall,” Garner said. “I was very lucky to get one of our local experts to come and speak.”

Garner said the lecture series covers a broad range of topics, including New Mexico art, architecture, wine, food and history, but “talking about the natural world” is important to Los Poblanos. She said she hopes to have a future lecture on the local Bosque ecosystem.

During the lecture, Banks recommended an online tool called BirdCast. The program allows users to follow bird migrations by seeing how many migrating birds fly over an area on any given day

during migration.

For example, nearly 3 million birds flew over Bernalillo County on the night of Sept. 24, Banks said.

Banks mentioned ways the community can help migratory birds, including by keeping pet cats indoors and reducing reflectiveness of windows.

“They don’t just not see the window, they’re actually seeing the reflection of trees behind them,” Banks said. “Those are the windows that birds hit; they just think it’s a tree.”

Over 1 billion birds are killed every year from building collisions, according to the American Bird Conservancy. To help minimize this, Banks suggests pasting stickers on windows and removing house plants from windows.

Ray Dewey, a resident who attended Banks’ lecture, said he came

Men’s basketball: Physical game leads to a victory over Grambling State

By Rodney Prunty @rprunty05

The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team faced off against the Grambling State University Tigers on Thursday, Nov. 21. From the start of the game, both teams played intensely, indicating it would be a long night. In the end, the Lobos proved they could be aggressive and outplay their opponents, walking away with an 80-58 win.

When the first half started, Grambling State made it clear that they were not going to make it easy for the Lobos. Grambling State jumped out to a quick 8-2 lead, being physical on both defense and offense. The Lobos, however, were not looking to lose the game, and they immediately matched the energy that Grambling State brought.

Guard Tru Washington shot an efficient 4-8 while having five steals all

in the first half. The Lobos showed their dominance, and despite a poor final minute of play, they still led 3026 at halftime.

Coming out from the half, the Lobos were fierce, going on an 11-0 run to start things off. Even when the run ended, the Lobos still hit their shots, which helped them build a 20-point lead during the second half.

With the big lead, however, Grambling State went on a little run themselves in the middle of the second half. The Lobos did not blink and were able to end the Tigers’ run. The Lobos proceeded to pile on the points again, leading to a victory.

Guard Donovan Dent had a great game and really found his groove in the second half. Dent finished the game with 22 points on 7-13 shooting, with eight assists.

Guard Braden Appelhans saw the court a lot, playing more of the

sixth-man role throughout the game. When Grambling State was going on its run halfway through the second, Appelhans did not let it affect him and he focused on the next play.

“Just one play at a time,” Appelhans said. “When they go on a run, it’s time for us to go on our run.”

Head Coach Richard Pitino said he thinks the team did a good job matching the physicality that Grambling State brought to the table.

“I think the second half was significantly better than the first all around,” Pitino said. “We did a good job turning them over 22 times.”

With this game, the Lobos are back in the win column, moving their record to 4-1 on the season.

Women’s basketball: Lobos crush South Carolina State in

By Izabella Kubiak-Reseigh @kubiakizabella

The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team dominated the South Carolina State University Bulldogs with an 80-38 win at The Pit on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Head Coach Mike Bradbury said he is proud of the team for their victory.

80-38 victory

“I thought we were much better in the second half,” Bradbury said, adding that the Lobos “are going to have a much better year than they did last year.”

After their 85-56 win over Western New Mexico University on Nov. 15, the Lobos did not cool off before facing the Bulldogs, which showed in their second-half performance.

In the first quarter, the Lobos played a tight game, ending with the Lobos leading 12-11. Unusual play led to a disappointing quarter for the team.

The Lobos were plagued by fouls, which stifled their offensive schemes. The Lobos knew they had to make a change, and that reflected in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lobos began to fire on all cylinders. The defense reflected its play during the last game, only holding the Bulldogs to 9 points in the quarter. Although the Lobos held the Bulldogs down defensively, they still struggled with missed shots and other offensive opportunities to gain momen -

tum over the Bulldogs, leaving it a winnable game on either side.

The Lobos led 30-20 going into halftime.

Players like forward Amhyia Moreland helped lead the Lobos to victory during the second half, despite the slow start.

Moreland finished the game with a career-high six blocks. Moreland also motivated her team when the game wasn’t moving in UNM’s favor, which paid off.

“If somebody is having a bad day, someone else can tell, and we hype them up,” Moreland said. “We’re all very stuck together.”

In the third quarter, the Lobos started to get red-hot. They scored 21 points during the quarter, with 14 of those points going unanswered, shocking fans.

The Lobos put the Bulldogs in a corner with suffocating offense. The leading scorer in the third quarter was guard Vianè Cumber, who dished out two 3-pointers as she ended the quarter with 10 total points.

In the fourth quarter, the Lobos put up 29 points, ending the game 80-38.

The Lobos had an outstanding performance on the court, with forward Hulda Joaquim leading UNM with 14 points and 10 rebounds, ending Wednesday’s game with her second career double-double.

With the win, the Lobos improved to 3-2 on the season, trying to get a win streak going.

REVIEW: Jacques Audiard’s ‘Emilia Pérez’ is misguided yet entertaining

By Elijah Ritch @dailylobo

On Nov. 13, the new film “Emilia Pérez” debuted on Netflix.

A genre-defying epic, the film is a crime/comedy/romance/musical that tells the story of a Mexican defense attorney named Rita — played by Zoe Saldaña — who is contacted by Juan Del Monte, a drug lord — played by Karla Sofía Gascón — who needs help covertly obtaining gender-affirming surgery.

The latest from renowned French director Jacques Audiard, “Emilia Pérez” made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where the film took home the Jury Prize, which is essentially the festival’s third-place award. Its four leading actresses — Saldaña, Gascón, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz — collectively received the Best Actress award.

The latter award is particularly well deserved, as the increasingly bizarre antics of “Emilia Pérez” would fall apart under less talented actresses.

Saldaña is brilliant and easily the best of the film’s ensemble cast. It’s quite refreshing to see her in a non-blockbuster role, where her talents as a dramatic actress are on full display. Her forceful performance brings a necessary sense of resolution to Rita’s character. She acts as the film’s metaphorical anchor, holding it relatively steady against the tumultuous nature of the plot.

Gascón, who primarily acted in telenovelas prior to “Emilia Pérez,” is terrific in the titular role. While many filmmakers would cast a cisgender man to play the character of Emilia, Audiard wisely cast Gascón — who is a transgender woman — to play Emilia in all of her facets, both before and after her transition. She does not have to play Emilia’s closeted self for very long, but when she does, she dons grills, face tattoos and a fake beard to complete the look.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gascón revealed that it was her idea to play Emilia pre-transition.

“So many people have asked me, and it bothers me, how it felt to ‘regress to being a man.’ I never regressed to anything,” Gascón said in the interview. “I play a character that isn’t me. If someone asks me to play a murderer who wants to end the world, and I end up saying, ‘Oh my god, how am I going to do that?’ Then who would play that role? What kind of an actress would I be?”

While Gascón’s passionate,

emotive performance is worthy of praise, it’s debatable how good Audiard is at telling a trans and Hispanic story.

The script of “Emilia Pérez” is certainly messy, and in many ways, that messiness works to the film’s advantage. However, its commendable message is muddied by the chaos surrounding it.

Emilia attempts to atone for her sins as a drug lord by founding an organization to help find and identify the remains of people who have been victims of cartel-related homicides.

At a benefit gala, she reveals to Rita that she invited a bunch of “drug kingpins, corrupt officials (and) crooks” to the fundraiser.

Rita says that she doesn’t want their organization to be funded by dirty money, and she proceeds to break out into a spirited musical number about the greed and hypocrisy of those in power in Mexico.

It seems as if the differing values of the two women are going to drive a wedge in their friendship, but Audiard promptly forgets the conversation.

The film sets Emilia on this path toward redemption, seemingly to ward off accusations of reinforcing stereotypes by villainizing a trans character, but it doesn’t allow her to truly redeem herself.

She reengages in criminal activity — albeit at a less severe degree — without facing repercussions or even pushback, besides the one disagreement with Rita. Audiard is trying incredibly hard to make a “positive” trans story — an attribute

In her exhibit at the Sanitary Tortilla Factory in Albuquerque, Wilson showcases crowdsourced “bad photos of the moon” — lowquality images of the moon taken on cell phones by ordinary citizens.

The gallery’s website explains that the exhibit is meant to explore the blur between professional and amateur artists, as well as investigate human relationships with photography, permanence and the moon.

“Photographs inherently compress, reduce, and abstract their subjects,” the website reads. “The moon resists capture, often appearing as an oblong spot in the field of black, or a tiny spec in an expansive blue sky. Despite our predictable failure, we can’t help but keep trying.”

REVIEW: Soccer Mommy breaks and mends hearts

By Elijah Ritch @dailylobo

On Oct. 25, American singer-songwriter Soccer Mommy’s new album “Evergreen” was released.

A striking departure from her previous work, “Evergreen” finds Soccer Mommy, aka Sophie Allison, retreating into nature during a period of grief. On the record, the new mindset she has after reckoning with this loss is clear. There’s a distinct sense of ease to the songs — she’s unencumbered by the trivial worries of modern life.

Her music sounds looser and more relaxed than ever before.

“Lost” is perhaps the record’s most explicit expression of grief. She muses on what it’s like to see all the signs of someone’s existence around you, but not be able to communicate with them. The song’s whimsical-yet-plaintive nature recalls the work of Sixpence None the

Richer and The Cranberries, making for a perfect opening track that sets the record’s tone.

On her 2018 song “Your Dog,” Soccer Mommy compared her experience in a bad relationship to being someone’s pet.

She subverts this metaphor on “M,” writing, “I miss you, like a loyal dog, waiting by the door to hear the lock turn.”

The message is clear: She knows this person will never return, but she acts like they will regardless.

In an interview with Stereogum, Soccer Mommy said “there’s two rockers … on the record, ‘cause I can’t help myself.”

Those songs, “Driver” and “Salt in Wound,” skillfully bridge melancholic folk with the noisy rock of her previous records.

“Driver” would be right at home on MTV in the 1990s — an anthemic love song that finds the singer reflecting on her position as the one in the driver’s seat of a relationship.

In a cathartic moment of disclosure, “Salt in Wound” is an angst-ridden revelation of the pain that resulted from the aforementioned loss.

The album reaches a high point on “Some Sunny Day,” a deeply felt elegy that traces the singer’s journey of grieving what once was, reflecting on the fact that life moves on regardless and her ultimate contentment in the knowledge that she will be reunited with this person one day.

On “Changes,” Soccer Mommy grapples with a more generalized loss — growing up and realizing that the world you inhabited as a child has vanished.

She opens the song with the lines, “My mother’s hair is colored by her age, the house is painted over, it’ll never feel the same, and every time I come here, I’m further away, slipping through my fingers,” evoking the feeling of flipping through a faded book of family photos, haunted by the

On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Wheels Museum hosted a talk with author Baker H. Morrow about his most recent anthology, “The Horse on the Sidewalk.”

The anthology discusses Albuquerque’s place as a post-World War II “boomtown.”

“You get the facts and figures, so many miles of roads, so many new houses, so many subdivisions,” Morrow said. “But one thing that struck

me, having spent a fair amount of time when I was a kid out there, was what life was like for the kids themselves.”

It follows the coming of age of a middle school boy named Gil, who wants nothing more than to buy his own motorcycle — seemingly the spiritual successor to the Old West cowboy and his wild stallion.

The titular story, “The Horse on the Sidewalk,” opens with a conversation between Gil and Deke — a small child with a cigarette habit and a tendency to lie and say he’s adopted. The front tire of Gil’s new motorcycle is

stolen by an older high school kid.

“It may be that loose social organization is natural in a new community that’s just sprung up,” Gil’s friend says about the incident. “Nothing’s settled. The ties that bind people together aren’t knotted yet.”

The story details the difficulty of building community in a developing area, the emerging Albuquerque culture and a reflection on what has changed and what has stayed the same.

Morrow said that while the anthology is not autobiographical, it includes people and stories that run

parallel to his childhood.

“They certainly are inspired by a lot of people I knew or had heard of, and they ran through my head for years,” Morrow said. “I was very pleased to be able to get them out on paper in a kind of new form, because one thing I thought was how unusual it was to live in a brand-new place.”

Morrow is a landscape architect by trade, which shows in the deep sense of place and time present in his work. There’s a particular reverence and attention paid to street names such as Lomas Boulevard and Wyo-

ming Boulevard, as well as a story about an early restaurant in Albuquerque, Taco Sal’s, which still sits on the corner of Eubank Boulevard and Menaul Boulevard.

The book was published by Casa Urraca Press, a small, local press near Abiquiú that aims to promote, platform and protect New Mexican literature, according to its website.

Eight of the appropriations passed were submitted for the purpose of enabling student organizations to

“I was falling in love, and I was trying to find a way to communicate with my now-partner and didn’t really know what to say,” Wilson said. “I felt this urge to send a photo of the moon, and I think I sent a text with that photo that said ‘The moon’s impossible to photograph, but I tried anyway.’”

Wilson put out a call on social media for moon photos and received over 300 within the first month. The collection now includes over 1,000 submissions.

Attendees are encouraged to display their own bad photos of the moon by uploading them to a Kodak printer and adding them to the wall.

She expresses her admiration for the video game character across an up-tempo love song with the joyous cadence of a rom-com protagonist.

In her interview with Stereogum, Soccer Mommy explained that she was toying with the idea of writing a love song about a fictional character as if they were a real person — and it worked.

“I ended up liking the song, so I

just decided I would record it and just make it a fun one,” she told Stereogum. In the second half of the record, Soccer Mommy’s tone becomes increasingly mournful; on “Thinking of You” and “Dreaming of Falling,” she wrestles with the knowledge that loss is permanent.
