Our state just passed a tax on millionaires!! Here's how it will affect most people in Washington:

HUGE win for Washington and HUGE thanks to the hardworking lawmakers and staff who made this happen.

FINAL CALL: Lawmakers could vote on the Millionaires Tax any day now. Let's do one last round of calls into their offices to show them that Washington wants to fund the programs we rely on. Take action here ⬇️ https://investwanow.org/call-lawmakers-pass-millionaires-tax

It's a bit messy out there.

…. Someone forgot to tell him not to say this. Jesus.

I’ve probably talked to tens of thousands of voters in my career and tbh I don’t think there is a single voter in America that thinks the government is in the right here. This simply isn’t a position that has a constituency.

Lemme tell y'all, it was a TRIP to wake up Friday morning and see that my name was signed in opposed to this bill... ....at 2:07am

HUGE win out of Olympia!!!!

Oh so skating is more of a side thing she does to be able to afford a Commander deck.

Have you signed in PRO for the Millionaires Tax? Make sure you do before time runs out! Take action ➡️ https://investwanow.org/sign-pro-millionaires-tax

Always worth remembering that simply being an American citizen gives you an enormous amount of power. And that the rest of the world relies on our democracy's strength just as much as we do.

Let's talk about the Millionaires Tax! And a new poll that shows voters want it. #WashingtonState #EverettWA #BellinghamWA #YakimaWA

Seems notable….

This has been a supremely awkward week for the Trump Admin -- even beyond the usual oddness. Seems to be that there's LOTS of internal frustrations, and with an aging President who is floundering in the approval ratings, it's not clear who exactly sets the party's messaging.

“AI is inevitable” yeah so is dying, bro. Go create something with the time you have left here

REMINDER: 2025 was likely Seattle’s last election without ranked-choice voting!

This may go down as one of my favorite Twitter exchanges from the year.

Reminder that "top two" elections like CA and WA have don't solve the same problems that ranked-choice voting does. In fact, in some cases, top two elections can result in even weirder outcomes than conventional partisan primaries would!

Gotta admit, they got us there.

New law to protect seniors, single parents, veterans from rent gouging and homelessness already showing results. Congrats again to our client @wahousingalliance.bsky.social !👏 washingtonstatestandard.com/briefs/landl...

The state of the boardgame industry right now.....

Games should come with two times. Normal play time, and play time with *that one friend.* And yes, I'm absolutely *that one friend* as much as anyone else.

Just got this ad on the other platform. So things are BAD bad.

It may be time for creators on TikTok to start pointing out that our platform has an agenda -- and not a particularly subtle one.

As of the end of 2024, these are my BEST 9 GAMES OF ALL TIME! At the moment, it leans towards heavier games, and there are some lighter titles that DEFINITELY deserve an honorable mention, but if I have 3 hours to spare, I know any one of these will deliver an absolute blast of a time.

Every comment thread about these three boardgame announcements is saying either "Take my money" or "What a shameless cash grab" and it's such a good reminder that no designer or publisher can make everyone happy.

"No one goes downtown anymore, there's too much traffic" has become, "no one uses email anymore, our inboxes are too full."

Things are going great in the Drone spotting Facebook group….

Here they are! The 9 best boardgames I played for the first time in 2024. There's quite a bit of diversity here :) 1. Star Wars Unlimited 2. Crokinole 3. Hegemony 4. Battallion 5. Caesar: Seize Rome in 20 minutes 6. Clash of Cultures 7. First In Flight 8. Landmarks 9. Undaunted: Callisto

Has this worked for any of y’all? I feel like when I go to Uniqlo I am just reminded that 1) I’m not actually “slim” and 2) I simply look far too midwestern to pull any of it off.

Besides this being good for *democracy* these ideas are also how Democrats can put their best foot forward with candidates they send to the general election.

Holler if you or someone you know should be on this #RankedChoiceVoting Movement Starter Pack! go.bsky.app/4tzVvwi

I'm here to post memes about boardgames and politics.
