I think Lower Queen Anne could really use another smoke shop. Make it a bakers dozen.
This is how propaganda is spread by “allies”. They’re happy to advance these talking points of dread without an iota of evidence to support the narrative. “Very hard to undo”… is hyperbolic rhetoric that helps to embed the hopelessness that these monsters wish to use to move us all towards apathy.
This season of The Pitt Is basically the Battlestar Galactica reboot.
If Dr. Robbie says "so say we all" i could die happy.
I hate seeing screenshots of news articles with "4 hours ago" as the day stamp.
ESPECIALLY without the link.
ESPECIALLY from journalists and the like.
That could be from 4 days, weeks or years ago.
costco's CEO also understands his job to be, at least in part, "make sure the Memphis store's ketchup dispensers are full" and not like "forge strategic partnerships to leverage the customer experience to monetize new revenue streams" or whatever that normal CEOs seem to focus all their time on
Washington’s budget has actually declined by 60% overall.
Even though the state’s yearly budget grew from $22 billion to $37 billion (adjusted for inflation) over the past 30 years, it didn’t keep up with our state’s capacity to invest. Learn more: opportunityinstitute.org/blog/post/wa...

Unless you work at the US Mint, "making money" is not an actual job.
Tax Millionaires
Tax Capital Gains
Tax Financial Transactions
🚨BREAKING: In a decisive win for voters, the Utah Supreme Court dismissed the GOP legislature’s appeal in the state’s landmark redistricting case — clearing the way for a fairer congressional map to be used in the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
They're doing worse than the Republicans who accidentally emailed me today to remind me to sign in CON against the Millionaire Tax. I think an intern forgot to filter the email list.
It moved me to sign in PRO on the spot and post reminders to my socials.
Everyone's a pawn in a liberal's quest to rhetorically destroy the right.
Reminds me of when I worked at a cannabis publication and the owner took his kids to a homeless encampment and put up "trump hotel" signs for a photoshoot. Har har
The signs were nailed to trees and staked into the ground.
The Seahawks are expected to be sold for over $6 billion - likely twice what our state's new Millionaire Tax would raise in one year. Don't get any ideas! Just crazy how much rich folk will whine about taxes like that but they'll drop 5x our whole state's annual budget hole to buy a sports team.
Massachusetts wound up with MORE millionaires after their millionaire tax -- plus funded a whole bunch of stuff.
Yes, more taxes means more money in the budget.
To develop a reasonable position on any proposed tax increase on the wealthy, we need to dispel the “millionaire exodus” narrative.

The comms staffer working in Rep. Stokesbary's office needs to learn how to filter data.
Otherwise, your panicked plea to stop the scary Millionaire's Tax by signing CON will land in the inbox of your opposition (that's me).
Sign PRO before Tuesday! Beat the Bots!

60 day legislative sessions are a joke. And the 105 day sessions in odd years aren’t much better. It’s impossible to govern a modern state like this.
Senator Frame: "When Massachusetts passed the Fair Share Tax on Millionaires, the millionaires did not leave. When we passed the capital gains tax, the millionaires did not leave. In fact, the number of millionaires in our state grew, as they did in Massachusetts."

The Millionaire’s Tax passed the Washington State Senate on a 27-22 vote. Three Democrats joined Republicans in voting against it. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/...
The best thing @governorferguson.bsky.social could do for Washington right now is to run for president as a Republican
Remember when they were trying to make Mark Cuban happen as part of a unity ticket?
Weird how all of the skills were transferrable.
Liberals: Enjoy the great taste of fascism but with fewer calories!
This, basically:
My ADHD makes it difficult to devote all my senses into reading a book visually. Eyesight is failing and I've almost maimed myself trying to read a hardcover while sleepy.
Being able to do other things while listening helps me focus more.
Ugh reading purists are insufferable.
"Audiobooks don't count!"
Who the fuck is keeping count? Is there a competition for the Olympics of Reading where they get gold stars and personal pan pizzas for winning?
They should sell it to the cities in exchange for all the public funds used to build their stadiums. For once, the revenue generated from the games could actually benefit local residents.
Gross
So dumbass fans did like $12,000 to the historic pergola in Seattle Sunday night & the parks dept has started a GFM to get the money to repair it. This is a chance for the Seahawks to do the right thing & pay to repair it.
I swear to god, EVERY TIME a tax on millionaires on some form is introduced, it blows estimates out of the water. The level of wealth inequality in this country defies belief
Crowd reaction to Prop 1A raising $115 million in it's first year, more than double the initial estimate! @houseourneighbors.bsky.social
