Thank you to all the #WaLeg members who voted YES on the Millionaires Tax and beginning to fix our upside down tax system! And huge appreciation for all the advocates, families, neighbors and MILLIONAIRES who testified in favor of the bill. On to the Senate for concurrence!
Hear that #WALeg Senate? As soon as you concur in the House amendments, Gov Ferguson is ready to sign it into law!
Let's get this done!
Don't let opposition pit us against each other. We want support for small businesses because they are essential to a strong economy.
Let's clear up some blatant misinformation: The vast majority of small businesses and pass-through entities won't be affected by the Millionaires Tax.

...Instead, spending has declined by 61% in K-12 education; 68% in higher education; and (since 1998) by 44% in social, health, and human services...
Thanks to the incredible staff @eoionline.bsky.social for calling BS!
Boo!

@seiu925.bsky.social Wenatchee early learning worker Lupita Suarez: "childcare programs run on narrow margins, we are doing our part for our local communities, it is time you act to make our state more fair and fund childcare and other services people like me rely on"
Lillian of Latino Community Fund: "workers struggle to feed themselves or families while corporations and those with most wealth aren't paying their fair share. Millionaires Tax would bring real resources with working families tax credit & lower sales taxes on essential goods. Urges support
Sam McVeety, who says he would pay the Millionaires Tax is here in support: "My husband and I believe in a strong public education system, and want to support that by giving back and paying this tax."
Our board member Matt Loschen in strong support of a Millionaires Tax, which he would β¨proudlyβ¨ pay.

For the record, all staff at EOI are in strong support of the Millionaires Tax.
@kuow.org Senator SaldaΓ±a has been in office for 10 years. Your reporters should be pronouncing her name correctly by now. Please respect the diversity of our region by pronouncing people's names correctly
In some cities the companies keep charging you time until the scooter is returned to a geolocated corral. Or we can keep listening to people complain about scooter litter AND complain about proposed solutions. π€¦π½ββοΈ
Time to move away from funding our 21st century society with tools rooted in maintaining the oligarchy.

Thank you @amysundberg.bsky.social for laying out the list of things we SHOULD be investing in to reduce gun violence. And some of the reasons our neighbors and communities should be protected from constant surveillance.
Dozens of Seattlites came out this morning to make whistle packets. When I left at 12:30 we had made 3500 already! Thanks to @ourcommonpower.bsky.social for organizing!!

Thank you @indivisible.org for this webinar. Thanks to @aclu.org and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network for sharing important information about how we can all step up to bear witness to the brutality of this regime
It's almost like it's a political decision and not based on what's best for transit riders. π€·π½ββοΈ
It's hard to argue with him. We are facing a decades-long fight to recover. And we, as a country, are not prepared for the sacrifices it will take to win. Time to step up.
Holy razors Batman, that was a close shave!!
It's fascinating and disturbing that the same people he who fight tooth and nail for the right to carry concealed weapons are now using such as justification for shooting Mr. Pretti. This regime is shameless.
Did you vote to fund them?
