Okay maybe I misunderstood, I thought I was agreeing with you. People shouldn't give her a pass because she might run against Gavin because that scenario can't happen because Gavin can't run.

‘Get out of my f--king shot’: Katie Porter tears into staffer in newly released video

The former member of Congress, who is now running for California governor, also vented that she was snubbed by the Biden White House, complaining she raised the president “a shit ton of money.”

Gavin is term limited, he can't run. People are defending her because they either liked her viral whiteboard stunts or simply like abusive bosses.

"it was friendly banter!" Did we watch the same video? That was a boss abusing her employees like it's routine.

People are so funny. "Katie Porter yelling at her staff is fine because my boss yells at me all the time". No dude. That's not okay.

You should get a better job and better friends if yelling curses in anger at mistakes is normal. Because that is not normal.

You should make yard signs. "Abusive boss and abusive coworkers for Katie Porter! Better things aren't possible!"

Can you at least promise me you don't curse and yell at your coworkers? Can you do that?

PenguinGuy @penguinguy.bsky.social · 1h

Yeah I did and then I changed my mind because I wanted to make sure you know this behavior is unacceptable, but sadly you don't. You simply think cursing at your coworkers is good and fine. I hope you change. Go to therapy maybe.

This directly speaks to her inability to properly represent Californians as Governor. It's not just a purity test. If the staffers are scared of abuse, how can I trust that the concerns from my calls are actually being told to the elected, and not silenced out of fear?

PenguinGuy @penguinguy.bsky.social · 1h

I challenge you to act that way to your coworkers and see if you still have a job, except don't, because your coworkers don't deserve that.

If I treated anyone in my workplace like that I would be fired, and rightfully so.

Under no circumstances should a boss treat their staff like that.

I think her response to that reporter absolutely rocked, but California really shouldn't elect a governor who abuses her staff.

There is nothing we can do to prevent them from doing the shadow docket fuckery to everything the like with student debt relief if they have a majority. (Which is why you pack the court). "Baseles lawsuit from Amarillo immediately gets a nationwide TRO without a hearing or opinion" has no counter.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

Someone honked at me and pulled their car over as I was walking on the sidewalk... to ask me for directions lol. I get asked for directions a lot, but that's a first. I do not understand how I give off such an aura of "please ask me for directions".
