The best woman won! The fact that it will piss off Trump and MAGA is a bonus. 😂

I don’t live in California, so I can’t vote. But, I sincerely hope there’s a stronger Democratic candidate who can win the race for governor. She’s a train wreck.

California voter here 🤚🏽

Not cool. Judge Katie Porter for yourself, but all the whiteboards in the world don’t make up for losing your cool when the questions get uncomfortable.

Even worse, flipping out on your own support team. This isn’t sexist, it’s about staying level-headed under pressure…

Stopped at Penzeys Spices for cinnamon. Their free sample today is Tsar Dust Memories - Russian Style.

If you like good quality spices as well as a company that doesn’t bend the knee AND resists, get your spices at Penzeys!
