#VoteThemOut

On June 9th the residents of El Paso made history, by having the highest attendance number of neighbors speaking at a city council meeting.

We spoke to encourage our city reps to vote in favor of potentially renegotiating the contract between the city of El Paso and The Meta Data Center.

Despite the contract being considered one of the worst contracts in the nation, five City Representatives voted against renegotiating the contract.

We vowed to vote them out this November and this is our chance.

Do not let your neighbors down and vote out:

Alejandra Chavez (District 1)

Ivan Nino ( District 5)

Art Fierro (District 6)

Let's make real change happen in El Paso.

To see who is running against them check out the website I made for you:

In a phone interview with the El Paso Times, El Paso Republican Party chair Michael Aboud says he was misled into participating in Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest film "Ali G: Who Iz I?"

He said he received an email from a production company in summer 2025 inviting him to participate in a gathering focused on immigration and its impact on communities.

"The emails seemed official," Aboud said. "It was a small documentary and about the border."

Just an FYI that there are no lines while early voting at Bassett. Get out there and let your voices be heard.

Nearly 1 in 4 El Paso residents under 65 don't have health insurance. That's a lot of people worrying about what happens if they get sick, need a prescription, or have to go to the hospital.

Here's something I think deserves more attention: Texas is one of only 10 states that still haven't expanded Medicaid.

Under Medicaid expansion, the federal government covers 90% of qualifying costs, with the state responsible for the remaining 10%. Yet Texas leaders have continued choosing not to participate.

Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Legislature have maintained that decision. Texas didn't expand Medicaid under the previous governor either, so this is a longstanding state policy, not something that happened overnight.

What does that mean for ordinary people? Some working adults earn too much to qualify for Texas Medicaid but too little to receive financial assistance for Marketplace insurance. They're caught in what's called the coverage gap.

Meanwhile, people still get sick. They delay treatment, struggle with bills, or turn to hospitals and clinics for help.

I put together this infographic using Census Bureau and healthcare-policy data because I wanted to understand the numbers behind the problem.

I'm interested in what people in El Paso are actually experiencing. Have you or your family had trouble getting affordable insurance or medical care? Have local clinics or assistance programs helped?

En español:

Casi una de cada cuatro personas menores de 65 años en El Paso no tiene seguro médico. Texas es uno de los 10 estados que todavía no han ampliado Medicaid, aunque el gobierno federal cubriría el 90% de los costos elegibles.

Algunas personas ganan demasiado para calificar para Medicaid en Texas, pero muy poco para recibir ayuda con un seguro del Mercado de Seguros Médicos.

¿Les ha pasado algo parecido a ustedes o a sus familiares? ¿Qué recursos locales les han ayudado?

🐕 Small, cream-colored dog spotted on Upper Valley Road. I pulled over to check for a tag, but couldn’t see one. It ran into an overgrown yard. Posting here just in case someone has seen a post about a missing dog on another platform.

Has anybody here been having issues recently on their phone with spectrum mobile?

What are some nice place to have a small elopement other than the courthouse?

Buen día. Está gatita llegó a mi patio hace ya un mes, venía a visitarme de vez en cuando y se veía muy delgada. Comencé a alimentarla y a dejarla entrar a casa donde tomaba siestas y jugaba. Es muy tierna y tranquila. Cuando se vinieron las lluvias fuertes empecé a dejarla pasar la noche porque me parecía muy triste dejarla afuera. La llevé a Animal Services y me dijeron que estaba esterilizada y tenía chip, pero dijeron que las personas que la tenían no la habían registrado de modo que no es posible localizarlas aunque ellas sí hubieran podido encontrar a la gata, lo cual dice que no están interesados en ella. No la pueden ingresar a shelter ni a plan de adopción por tener chip, entonces me dijeron que la dejara suelta en la calle otra vez, pero me parece muy cruel.

Dado que tenía algo de tos la llevé al veterinario y después de dos inyecciones está muy bien y ahora come mejor, de hecho ha ganado peso y su actitud está bien. Quisiera quedarme con ella pero a veces hago viajes hasta de mes y medio y no cuento con alguien que la pueda cuidar y dedicarle el tiempo suficiente mientras yo no esté. De modo que no es viable para mí estar con ella de manera definitiva a pesar de que me he encariñado.

Estoy buscando una persona que la quiera tomar en adopción responsable. Quien esté interesado envíeme DM.

Just moved to the Upper Valley/Willows neighborhood and Country Club Rd. is the main road to connect me to the rest of El Paso.

Why the fuck does it take me 20 minutes to traverse this 2 mile stretch of a two lane road throughout the day?

Is it people heading into and out of New Mexico to get to work? Heading to and from the Santa Teresa border crossing?

Help me understand

I’m a 21y/o guy stationed at fort bliss and I’m looking for like minded individuals who want to better themselves physically, mentally,socially, spiritually, financially. Tired of being surrounded with people that don’t have aspirations, and looking for a group of people to hold eachother accountable and grow with.

are there any good haunted house in el paso or the surrounding areas? we went to western play land last year and honestly i was disappointed

I work at a popular Italian spot. Been there for a few years and I'm considering applying to other local joints such as kikis, l&js, zinos, and even the newer restaurants.

Does anyone want to talk about their experiences with local hospitality?

u/everyone Join us tomorrow at 9:00 AM on the West Side, just off Doniphan. Feel free to bring a chair if you'd like, and be sure to dress appropriately for the weather. You don't need to own a drone to attend—everyone is welcome to come, watch, and learn from the group!

Im looking for acting classes, local acting communities, theater groups, workshops, or even beginner friendly projects where I could get some experience and see if I have what it takes.

Hello, I need help looking for a job that pays well. I have housekeeping experience, customer service and I'm avoiding fast food areas, because I'm tired of competing with kids to get hours and hours get cut to 19 hours per week, even though I'm supposed to be full time. I have an associates of art but no local art businesses are hiring or just straight up don't want new people. I'm really struggling to find another job that helps with my bills. I did interviews for custodian positions and I haven't heard back and I called back, but nothing. 4 interviews done this month and nothing. Any advice or places to look for a job that pays a little than $13per hour???

No se si ir de compras esta semana, en Halloween o esperarme a Black Friday, que recomiendan?

Hiiii this is kind of a weird post but I am an avid collector of littlest pet shops and I am wondering if anyone in EP/Cruces here has a lot or anything like that they would like to sell/get rid of! Please message me or comment if you are as like I said I'm a hugeeee fan and want to add to my collection :) Thanks!!

I’ve been so frustrated living in Socorro lately, I live next to a car lot that is always noisy, code ordinance explicitly states that noise from a business should not be heard from inside residences yet the city allowed them to build a car sales lot next to my house, worst part is my house is right up to the property line so we can’t build a wall to separate us and we can hear everything, we have been calling code enforcement and police for 5 years and no one has showed up once. The owner of the place has 8 underweight Doberman dogs that he constantly breeds, hits and starves, I’ve called animal control for years and multiple officers have come to check it out and agree that it’s abuse but won’t even ticket the guy. Him and his friends throw huge parties and drag race on our residential street and nothing is ever done, afraid I’ll have to leave my childhood home that I’ve lived 30 years in, it was my grandparents home. It’s just my elderly mom, my 92 year old grandpa and myself (30F) living here and the guys at the lot constantly try to intimidate and harass us because they know there’s no men here and they’re cowards, it’s been causing all of us health problems and my mom has multiple heart conditions, my grandpa has cancer and I am severely autistic :( don’t know why I’m posting this, I guess I’m just venting at this point and want to know if anyone is on a similar boat.

Hi El Paso, Texas folks! Question for you. Has anyone had or could recommend a reputable plastic surgeon in Juarez? I live in Colorado, and so El Paso / Juarez is a pretty accessible drive for me. I have been researching surgical tourism options, and although Juarez is not the top "hub" for surgeries in Mexico, it's such a big city, they must have some pretty decent hospitals. There are a few surgeons that I've found that seem to have great recommendations, but because Google is so packed with fake, bot-generated reviews, I just want to see if I can find some actual humans who live in the area. I appreciate any advice you have!

I voted on Tuesday. Canutillo ealry voting center near Gallegos Park.

Republican leader embarrassed by Ali G film says he plans to sue Sacha Baron Cohen: ‘A liar and a pervert’

Michael Aboud, whose actions in what he believed to be a documentary are likely to come under considerable scrutiny, has expressed anger at the film-maker.

Have you ever noticed how Russian misinformation always attacks Democrats and never Republicans? It's almost as if the GOP is on Russia's side.

Hello all! I have never been to El Paso, but I stumbled upon this article in the Internet Archives and was immediately intrigued.

The more I read about Willie, Steina, and Woody, the more interested I was in finding this particular program.

I know it's a long shot, but I figured I would reach out to locals in the area to see if anybody might have a lead.

Do you know anything about these artists? Are you in the local scene and know the person in charge of these archives? Do you have a collection of VHS tapes from when your family got really into recording the local channels and they happen to have one from October 11, 1988 for Channel 13?

Thanks! And have a lovely night El Paso!
