Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

Just got word that the Tacoma planning commission advanced a motion to fully eliminate parking mandates citywide at their meeting tonight, by a 8-0 vote with one abstention.

If implemented, Washington's second and third largest cities would have both beat Seattle to eliminating parking mandates.

Yes! HB 2266 passed the Senate earlier this evening - great news for the siting of critical housing and shelter in communities across our state. Read more on our blog: www.wliha.org/blog/house-b...

And now masks are needed to protect ICE from violent Antifa folks, according to the Republicans. Is Antifa in the room with you right now, lawmaker? (I mean, the answer is yes, but that is beside the point.)

How interesting it is that Republicans in Olympia are suddenly so passionate about allowing people to wear face masks. Masks are great for ICE, apparently, but not to protect health of anyone other than so-called law enforcement.

Getting the US into avoidable disaster in Iraq took months and months and months.

In Vietnam, it took years and years and years.

We are just three days into this totally unnecessary, one-man's-whim fiasco.

Earthquake

Here’s a fact you may not know: There’s an 85% chance of another Nisqually-type deep earthquake of magnitude 6.5 or greater striking the region sometime in the next 50 years. The β€œbig one” gets a lot of press but these smaller earthquakes can cause A LOT of damage. mil.wa.gov/earthquake

Group claims WA β€˜millionaires tax’ opposition was inflated in hearings Advocates allege fraud in WA's public comment system, saying duplicate and fake sign-ins inflated opposition to a proposal to tax income over $1 million.

A right-wing bot operation illegally forged tens of thousands of people's signatures to fake opposition against the Millionaires Tax.

For example, a "Becky Merritt", who didn’t sign her name when the #WALeg Senate voted on the tax, but signed in "Con" 99 TIMES in the House πŸ€”

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Is a 9.9% tax rate actually high? Washington’s top earners would face one of the lowest effective rates nationwide compared to other states that levy broad-based income taxes.

There has been a lot of talk about tax rates. We have a guide on effective versus marginal rates. Notably, even with the Millionaires Tax, Washington’s top earners would pay among the lowest effective state income tax rates in the country.
