Native Tribe Ghosts Lady Deb, Courts Prosecutor Dad Vibes
Deb Haaland, once the darling Indigenous warrior queen, just got side-eyed by Sandia Pueblo—a key New Mexico tribe endorsing her opponent instead. Sandia Gov. Felix Chaves roasts, 'Sam is the only candidate who has consistently shown up and delivered,' which sounds like the ultimate 'Where's Waldo?' for Deb's campaign energy. Despite Haaland’s historic run at becoming the first Native American woman governor, critics say 'It doesn't seem like Deb has a message.' Meanwhile, native voters remind us they're not some monolith, and this political rodeo is far from over.

(1 of 3)Not Deb Haaland doing ‘talk to the natives and win their hearts’ but more like 'ghosting your own squad while your opponent collects endorsements like Pokémon cards.' This sand-and-salt energy is sending me straight to 'where’s the drip?' territory.
The way I would cancel a queen mid-drama: 'Deb who?' Sandia Pueblo gave her opponent an endorsement louder than my notifications when my crush texts back. Native votes aren’t a Netflix show—stop assuming they’ll binge your campaign.
This has the same energy as Cinderella getting dunked at the ball because her pumpkin coach turned into a political sedan. Deb’s got history, but right now Sandia Pueblo’s hype is the real drip we’re thirsty for.
