To the Great People of Oklahoma, stay tuned — l'Il be there soon! There was a major weather delay, and the planes and helicopters were not able to land, so we're driving up from Texas. They wanted me to postpone the event, and I said, "NO WAY, I'M GOING TO OKLAHOMA!" "The Beast" is going faster than it has ever gone before. It won't be long. I love you all! See you in a little while. President

"differ on outcome of 2020 presidential contest" okay so we have an election denier in the race
ELECTION 2026
County clerk, nurse practitioner face off in secretary of state race
GOP's Ramona Goolsby, Democrat
Amanda López Askin differ on outcome of 2020 presidential contest
BY OLIVIER UYTTEBROUCK
JOURNAL STAFF WRITER
Two candidates vying to become New Mexico's next secretary of state appear to have starkly different views about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
"I always laugh because I get that question all the time — Joe Biden was sworn in," said Ramona Goolsby, the Republican nominee. Does she believe that former President Joe Biden was legitimately elected six years ago?
"I'm not going to speculate on that," Goolsby said. T'm going to say that he was sworn in, he was certified by Congress, and that he served." The Democratic nominee, Amanda López Askin, who has served as Doña Ana County clerk since 2018, said Biden decisively won the 2020 election, which she described as one of the most closely scrutinized presidential contests in history.

This relative I write about here was my grandma’s sister. She would tell me stories about running away from the Indian School in the 1950s to smoke cigarettes and hobo on the train to see friends in ABQ. sourcenm.com/2021/09/20/d...
Call grandma.
That's Larry's Curley's message.
So I did. It went something like this:
"Grandma, it's Shaun. How are you?"
"Hi babba! I'm great, how are you? How is your mom?"
We went back and forth a good half hour, catching up on family business and chatting a little football before she had to leave for an appointment. We hadn't spoken in a few weeks.
I could hear the joy in her voice, and I ended the conversation feeling better than I did earlier in the day.
That's the point, says Curley.
"That is the way to begin a relationship or conversation. Just ask anything." Curley (Diné) is the co-founder and executive director for the National Indian Council On Aging.
He said conversations with elders are part of a significant effort young people must engage, especially considering the toll the pandemic has left on Native American communities.

This is what Deb told me about her family’s history with boarding schools and how she wants that era taught in schools. “Every single American in this country owns that history - that terrible, violent, horrible federal Indian Boarding School history.” www.hcn.org/issues/58-8/...
HCN: What could you do as governor to ensure that the history curriculum about the federal Indian Boarding School era is taught in New Mexico public schools?
DH: Native American History is American history.
Every single American in this country owns that history - that terrible, violent, horrible federal Indian Boarding School history. Let's see how we can make sure that this is something that all children know and understand, because boarding schools happened right here in New Mexico.
My grandparents were put on a train and sent to St.
Catherine's here in Santa Fe. My great-grandfather was only able to visit my grandmother twice in the five years she was separated from her family, because all he had was a horse and a wagon to travel. This is New Mexico history. Fort Union, which is north of Las Vegas, was a way station, and they would take Native children to that place and shave their heads, burn their clothes, put them in uniforms, and send them on a train to whatever boarding school they felt they needed to go to. New Mexico has a deep history when it comes to federal Indian boarding schools. We have an important state; we have an important history. It's a history that every New Mexican should know about. We all have an obligation to that.
