Displaced Mushroom Workers.
Dozens of Guatemalan workers were left jobless and without pay after a Colorado mushroom mega-farm collapsed into despite receiving Covid relief. Some farm workers are now exploring the possibility of running the company themselves as a worker cooperative. The company is one of the largest employers in the San Luis Valley, which is the state’s lowest-income area.

Political Shootings in New Mexico. A Republican former state house candidate was arrested and implicated in a number of shootings targeting the homes of Democratic elected officials in New Mexico.
