HOLY SHIT WE JUST WON #DEBFORINTERIOR
After four years of fossil fuel executives and lobbyists opening up Native lands and sacred sites to industry tycoons, the next Secretary of Interior will be a Laguna Pueblo woman who went to Standing Rock in 2016 and cooked for the people.
She's going to make our ancestors so proud. I'm on the floor of my apartment crying with joy.
Thank you to everyone who stood up in whatever way you could for something so undoubtedly right.
There are way more of you than I can come close to counting from across Indian Country, the environmental movement, the left, the center, even the center-right.
You all did this.

When I first suggested Haaland for this role in @DataProgress' fantasy football-style 'Progressive Cabinet Project,' I never imagined it would go this far.
But the groundswell of support for #DebforInterior speaks to what an incredible leader she is.

This country and its First peoples just took a modest but meaningful step towards justice.
