I’m treating Cinco de Mayo like a High Holiday this year. I know it’s about the Battle of Puebla and an American thing, not celebrated in Mexico. ¿Sabes que? I don’t care. We survived Trump and COVID. I’ll celebrate, if I want to. This is a happy made-up day. Tequila!. 🥑 🌮 🪅 pic.twitter.com/6wqIETrzq8
