Deb Haaland makes history to become the first-ever First Nations governor of a US state. She will be the 108th governor of New Mexico.

@mattsheffield I am filled with as much joy that she has won as sadness that it is 2025 and not 1775. They should have been seated first.
@obscurestar
agree, except it's 2026
@pelle The impressive part is that I typed that twice after being so clever about 1776. I think I'll edit that now.
@obscurestar @mattsheffield Surely, the 1776 version would have been rough on immigration.
@mattsheffield
We hope they go back to ruling their own country. Immigrants bring nothing but destruction, and Trump is first in line.
To be clear, I mean the ones who enslaved Native Americans and wiped them out.
@mattsheffield First Nations is an indigenous Canadian people. The Governor elect is of the Laguna Pueblo.
@mattsheffield Excellent!
@mattsheffield super win for her and New Mexico
@mattsheffield HEY LOOK AT STUPID THAT; (she said irately ((sorry, actress/visual artist/small business owner here <:( ) SHE'S GOT MY DAD'S. MINE, AND MY SWEET LEAVE IT TO BEAVER MAYBERRY TEXAN GRANDMOTHER's cheekbones.
@mattsheffield EXCEPT THEY WERE NEVER A "Nation".
@mattsheffield Bravo - success
@mattsheffield Congrats to her
@mattsheffield Edit: Deb Haaland will be the 33rd governor of New Mexico.
New Mexico has earned a good governor like her.

'Bout time. Congratulations to Ms. Haaland.
