On the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration, a few hundred far-left radicals, many of whom were wearing pink “p***y” hats, “Palestine” flags, and anti-Trump gear, gathered in Albuquerque for what they branded as “The People’s March,” a thinly veiled attempt to stir unrest and oppose Trump’s presidency following his historic win last November.
The event, organized by the New Mexico Women’s March, aligned with other similarly radical demonstrations across the country, serving as a rallying point for extremist rhetoric and divisive policies — the same policies the American people largely rejected across the country. New Mexico shifted five points toward Trump in 2024, showing the massive unpopularity of failing left-wing policies.
Samia Assed, chair of the New Mexico Women’s March, stood before the crowd, begging them to resist Trump’s leadership while ominously referencing his anticipated policy agenda. “A big responsibility lies on our shoulders, and we have to be up for it,” Assed declared, seemingly advocating for defiance. She continued, “Come Tuesday, President Trump will have his 100 executive orders ready for us. Project 2025 will unfold. Are we going to fight back?” This call to arms reflects a broader far-left agenda that prioritizes resistance over unity to solve problems.
Joe Biden’s lame duck U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, a keynote speaker at the event, used the platform to further her political aspirations, reportedly positioning herself for a 2026 run for New Mexico governor. Haaland seized the opportunity to fan the flames of division, asserting that Trump surrounds himself with the “super-rich” who supposedly “look down on us and our communities” — talking points she incoherently read off a script.
“Our fight is not over,” Haaland proclaimed. “We will need to do the hard work of getting important things done and pushing back against an administration who couldn’t care less about regular people, about people like us.” Her remarks emphasized a partisan narrative while ignoring the widespread economic successes and opportunities fostered under Trump’s leadership.
The event featured a lineup of speakers notorious for their far-left ideologies, including U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, state Sens. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez and Harold Pope, state Rep. Eleanor Chavez, Pueblo Action Alliance Executive Director Julia Bernal, and others. Their collective rhetoric painted an unrealistic, divisive picture of the Trump administration while promoting policies that many argue would harm working families and small businesses.
Adding fuel to the fire, pro-Hamas protesters made their presence known, brandishing radical slogans and signs in support of anti-Israel agendas. Others at the stage included members of the “Autonomous Brown Berets,” an extremist anti-police organization that has a New Mexico chapter. Their participation underscores the increasingly extreme nature of these so-called “progressive” movements.
Haaland’s final words encapsulated the march’s hostile tone: “We’re going to fight to remind people in power that they answer to us.” While Haaland and her allies claim to stand for the people, their rhetoric and actions suggest a commitment to political posturing rather than meaningful solutions.
Meanwhile, President Trump continues to champion policies to empower all Americans, create jobs, and foster prosperity. As Haaland and her extremist allies push for chaos and division to further their political ambitions, Trump remains focused on delivering results for the nation.
Who cares what they think?
We will see more and more of these as they try to push the new administration. Of course MLG will encourage it as free speech. Haaland can’t engage in extemporaneous speaking so she has to read. Wonder if the notes were written in crayon. She is a joke and hopefully NM voters realize that.
Do NOT try blocking a highway. It won’t end well.
They haven’t realized that thousands of Democrats voted for Trump. They had enough of the lies from the Biden Administration.
