"We can tax the wealthy and realize immediate revenues. A statewide excess compensation tax, like that which Seattle voters passed last February, would generate over $2 billion a year. The beauty of this tax is that it has already withstood a legal challenge" Call Governor Ferguson: 360-902-4111

Who even cares if people are "abusing" benefits system? The rich are abusing everything and no-one bats an eye.

Here are some easy Halloween actions. (1/3) Nearly 1 million people in WA will lose their SNAP benefits tomorrow. If you're one of those people who just leaves a bowl of candy out, consider taping a flyer to it with a QR code to donate to a local food bank.

Join me in donating to the Rainier Valley Food Bank. The Bill Block Building Blocks Match will double your donation. givebutter.com/funding-abun...

Dropped off our ballots this morning.

If you marched in the No Kings rally and are wondering, "What Now?" a tangible action you can take is to find a local food bank and set up a recurring donation. Encourage those in your circle to do the same. SNAP benefits run out Nov. 1. www.seattlefoodcommittee.org/find-a-food-...

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

I don't think that Bruce Harrell campaign text is going to have the effect his team intended.

Yesterday Nancy Mace spent the day attacking us and queer/trans kids. Today, make a donation in her honor. Put her as the recipient and she’ll get the notification too! [email protected] www.DonorBox.org/support-the-fund

Amazon enjoys an estimated $11 BILLION in state and local subsidies, largely based on expectations of job creation. Leaked documents show Amazon is working to automate 75% of the companies operations, eliminating 600,000 workers.

For those who attended a No Kings rally this weekend and are wondering, "What now?": Here is a tangible action you can take.

Yesterday we raised an additional $2,700 totaling $7,700 more towards our $50k goal to stay open! Let’s see what today brings. www.donorbox.org/support-the-fund

Yet another reason to jettison Amazon from your life.

Had a wonderful time today with City Fruit and a group of my coworkers and their families. We picked over 300 lbs of apples for local food banks and cideries.

Sharing an email from our intake director: As intake director, I don't typically write these emails, but I am writing today with urgency and clarity: PSAF must raise $50,000 immediately to stay open through the rest of the month into November. www.donorbox.org/support-the-fund

“It’s yet another way this regime practices eugenics. By refusing disabled people the accommodations they need, they’re targeting them for elimination. People die in ICE custody every year, but we often don’t hear about them. Their stories go untold, their pleas unheard and the eugenics unopposed”

Are you still using Amazon? Consider...not doing that anymore.

More than a dozen immigration judge were just fired. Such firings have been common on Friday evenings and often involve newer judges still on probation. But today's firings include a Sacramento IJ who's been on the bench close to 20 years. "The judge version of Jimmy Kimmel," one source told me.
