Also this means that New Mexico becomes the FIRST STATE EVER to send a full delegation of Indigenous people and people of color to represent us in the House.

There's this part at the very beginning of Deb Haaland's acceptance speech that made me cry so hard last night and has been the one thing THE BIGGEST THING that's been with me all day: "As a 35th generation New Mexican-" she says, smiling.

Just sit with that, for a second. Sit with what she means and why she's saying it. "The People shall continue," wrote the great Acoma Pueblo poet Simon J. Ortiz. This means something, this all means something.

Emma Wallace Arcangeli, my maternal grandmother, was raised entirely by her Mexican mother after her deadbeat Scottish father took off. I think of her often. I feel so much of her in myself. She would have fucking hated this administration SO SO MUCH.

the night Obama won the first time, my mother called me crying and said, "Don't you wish Grandma could have seen this?" We laughed thinking about how much she would've loved Obama. She ran for office (and won) back before women did that.

She was fiercely pro-Union and spent her life organizing and campaigning for unions, specifically the United Mineworkers. She loved politics, loved 'em so much. Several years ago, my mother made me this present. It's all my grandmother's political swag.

where to begin? The Hubert Humphrey button? The Mondale button? That ENORMOUS Kennedy cross? (we were Catholic so you KNOW John was one of my Grandma's favorites.)

I have this in a shadowbox in my house. And I added my John Kerry pin and my Obama pin and my Hillary pin to it. My grandma would've fucking loved that.

there would've been so much she hated about our current administration. But Emma Wallace Arcangeli would have been so proud of New Mexico tonight.
It was a clean sweep. We did that shit, Grandma. We fucking did that shit.
