WA โ€˜millionaires taxโ€™ headed for passage as Ferguson says heโ€™ll sign it Gov. Bob Ferguson and legislative Democrats reached a deal on a proposed income tax on people earning more than $1 million, clearing the way for a final vote.

Washington state is actually doing something about income disparity.

Millionaires tax is about to pass in Washington state.

Yes, Donald Trump has brought terror to our streets. And has failed to bring down prices.

But at least the economy is doing well! Oh, wait . . .

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICEโ€™s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

"About 3,000 people a day on average live in tents at Camp East Montana" in a state of medical neglect, overcrowding, malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and emotional distress.

For 5 months, a 911 call comes in nearly every day.

These are concentration camps, and the stories are heartbreaking.

Federal data shows that #NIH lost ~4400 people, 20% of the workforce. Many scientists have been pushed out.

~80% of NIH $ is awarded to universities & research institutions. Funding cuts are having a trickle down effect all over the country, affecting job prospects.

Current U.S. wars (if we take out a countryโ€™s leader we are clearly at war regardless of how we want to market the terminology):
Iran
Venezuela

Other military action (claiming terrorism or drugs):
Caribbean (weโ€™ve been bombing boats)
Syria
Iraq
Somalia
Yemen

Now we are saying Cuba is next. WTF!

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said:

โ€œI guess.โ€

โ€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.โ€

He canโ€™t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life. Truly a conscienceless sociopath.

An IMPORTANT message from Liz Oyer, former DOJ Pardon Attorney:

She says that Pam Bondi announced a new rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by DOJ lawyers.

The final straw came when Noem told Senator John Kennedy under oath that Trump had personally approved a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that featured her prominently. Trump flatly denied it. 'I never knew anything about it,' he said

Stand Up for Science plans second rally on March 7 Public health chaos and research funding cuts are inspiring nationwide pro-science protests against the Trump administration

This weekend, on March 7, @standupforscience.bsky.social is leading protests in 25 locations.

Scientists had warned about the replacement of evidence over ideology and the damage it would cause. Everything that I was worried about came true.
