Pinyon Plain Mine, Arizona — May 17, 2026 — During a rally at the Pinyon Plain uranium mine in Arizona, land defendors confronted a semi–truck transporting uranium ore. The semi–truck had no uranium ore on board, however the truck was emitting low levels of radiation.

Land defendors blocked both lanes of the highway until law enforcement was dispatched to the area to clear the highway. Checkpoints were also opened on the highway leading to the uranium mine by law enforcement. After the rally was ended, law enforcement and unmarked vehicles were seen entering the site.

Question about history i learned from Siberians in Otyken music videos.

Is it true Turkic and Mongolians originated from Siberian peoples? Does that explain why Turkic and Mongolian sound similar to Siberian dialects? Is that why throat singing among them are similar?

La Jara Mesa Mining Proposal by New Mexico Mining Watch

"What is the La Jara Mesa uranium mining proposal?"

"The proposed La Jara Mesa mine is an underground uranium mining project in Cibola County, near Mount Taylor."

"The proposal is one of the furthest along uranium mining proposals currently under review in New Mexico, which means key decisions could come in the near future."

"The project would take place in a region already impacted by decades of uranium mining – where communities are still living with contamination, radioactive waste, and long-term impacts on water and health."

"La Jara Mesa is also located near Mount Taylor, a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance for Tribal Nations and communities across New Mexico."

"If approved, it could be the first new uranium mine in New Mexico in decades and one of the first to be reviewed under the state’s current mining laws – meaning the decisions made here could shape how future mining projects are handled."

"Like other mining projects, it must go through multiple state and federal review processes before any decisions are made. Those processes include opportunities for public input, including a public hearing expected later this summer or fall."

"Decisions about this project will shape water, land, and communities for generations."

"NM Mining Watch shares plain-language information to help communities understand and engage in these decisions across New Mexico. Stay tuned!"
