A #WALeg Senator who is a real estate investor and financial advisor said tax credits for working families won't make a difference. I know a lot of people in his district who will benefit from this bill, because working families have to count every expense while his party cuts the safety net.

Senator Riccelli reminds the opponents of universal school means that we don't means test kids before they get on the school bus. #1u, #WALeg passing historic legislation to #TaxTheRich to fund schools, childcare, healthcare, housing, and the other good public programs all working families need.

Senate Republicans are arguing against free school meals for all kids and dedicated funding for childcare, as the #WALeg Senate debates the House amendments to the Millionaires Tax. #WAforAll #1u

Opponents of #TaxTheRich in #WALeg keep trying to invoke a vibecession with their fearmongering about the MillionairesTax. One just said that "newborns" will pay this tax.

I hope all the opponents of tax justice in #WALeg check the tax rates where they say they are moving.

Opponents to the #WALeg Millionaires Tax are relying on 1930s interpretation of late 19th Century constitutional text. Here is the unofficial 1878 Washington State Constitution, which uses the phrase "class of subjects" in the sentence under debate. What is a "class of subjects"?

The opposition to #TaxTheRich can't get it's talking points in order: AI tech bros threaten to move to "more attractive business climates [like] San Francisco," while the @wsj.com warns #WALeg is "putting their economy and jobs at risk if they follow the California [model]." So which is it? #1u

#WALeg opponents of taxing the richest <1% of Washingtonians misrepresent the state's spending, which isn't even in the top half of the states in expenditures divided by personal incomes. See ofm.wa.gov/data-researc... Working families are better off when the state provides good healthcare, etc.

#WALeg representatives seem to have forgotten the word "landlord" and are using three words instead. Let's keep it real and use the correct word: www.commondreams.org/opinion/land... This isn't "just a different philosophy," it is clearer language.

Washingtonians are excited for the historic vote in #WALeg to tax multi-Millionaires to fund schools, healthcare, childcare, and the other good public programs that working people need. #1u #WAforAll

#WALeg is on the verge of making historic improvements for working families by making the ultra-rich pay what they owe so that we can have better public programs like healthcare, housing, childcare, education, and good jobs in every corner of #WashingtonState. #1u #WAforAll

If @governorferguson.bsky.social wants to back out of the Millionaires Tax in 2026, then #WAleg needs to pass the Wealth Tax and Well Washington as well as the Millionaires Tax. Working Washingtonians can't wait while Ferguson cuts health care, housing, childcare, schools, and good jobs.

@staterepjuliareed.bsky.social daringly combines purple and blue as she works her bill ensuring workers have the right to organize. #1u #WAleg

Everyone elected to the #WAleg should love public schools. #TaxJustice now for #WA!

#WAleg is taking historic action this year with bills to make #WA tax code better for working families. #WAforAll #1u

Meanwhile outside, away from the sharks, working people are calling for the legislature to pass the #MillionairesTax. #WALeg #1u #TaxJustice

Right now in #WAleg the Senate is debating the wealth tax on financial Intangibles owned by people who have over $50,000,000 wealth. Live at tvw.org/video/senate...

His tan sweater, red tie, white shirt, and dark blue suit is a classic combo that looks reasonable (if you ignore the words coming out of his mouth). #WalshWears Concur @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social ? (Just on the fashion, of course.)

"Washington's for all, Not just for the rich, Put the people first, We're ready for a switch." @wfsec28.bsky.social made an epic music video on why @governorferguson.bsky.social and #waleg need to #taxtherich rather than cut housing, schools, childcare, workers.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nlD...

Tell #Washington State Legislature #WALeg to tax billionaires and big corporations what they truly owe to fund housing, healthcare, childcare, schools, and good jobs: investwanow.org/actions/5in1-sign-pro/ #WashingtonForAll #1u

senatedemocrats.wa.gov/blog/2025/03... #waleg proposes taxing the ultra-rich what they truly owe so that we have good schools, childcare, housing, and jobs for working people in #WA.

Thank you @wadems.org , @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social , and #WALeg for protecting 1.1 million households in #WA by passing statewide rent stabilization. #WashingtonForAll #HousingJustice

#WAleg and @governorferguson.bsky.social , most Washingtonians want you to tax the ultra-rich what they truly owe so that we have good #housing, #jobs, #publicschools, #childcare, and #healthcare.

In #WA, working people with the lowest incomes pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthiest. That is an upside down tax system because the highest income earners have the most ability to pay what they truly owe so that we can have good public services like schools. #waleg

www.thestand.org/2025/03/save... We need #waleg and @governorferguson.bsky.social to prioritize Blue Collar, Not Billionaires. #WashingtonForAll

DOGE = Delusional Oligarchs Gutting our Economy

New Yorkers, who have been living with rent stabilization policies for decades, love tenant protection laws because they are good policy to help people stay housed and strengthen our communities. Time to pass rent stabilization in #WA, #waleg.

It's concerning that @governorferguson.bsky.social thinks that cherry-picking $70k maintenance projects will fill a $12b (+/- $2b) budget deficit. 1st, the scale is off: there would need to be 171,428 of these deferred carpet replacements. 2nd, deferred maintenance just shifts costs. #waleg

www.thestranger.com/katie-wilson... explained the concerns many people share about @governorferguson.bsky.social not supporting an adequate and non-regressive tax system in #WA. @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social investigated whether Governor Ferguson is being strategic or WTF. #waleg

Clallam Transit's bus ridership is now higher than pre-COVID levels, thanks in part to zero fare for all passengers on most routes. Clallam Transit will soon be re-doing the Port Angeles, WA bus routes to have 15 minute bus frequency across town, which will be the best headways west of Puget Sound!
