Right now, someone making $1 billion a year pays the exact same amount into Social Security as someone making $170,000.
We can fix this & make sure billionaires pay their fair share—but Republicans are standing in the way.

Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7B in taxes in 2022.
T-Mobile, Office Depot and 21 other major profitable corporations paid $0 in taxes from 2018-2022 while getting billions in taxpayer subsidies.
Just in case you thought it was immigrants who weren't paying their fair share.
Undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in taxes in 2022. That’s greater than the entire budget of every state except New York and California. It’s also more than the budgets of NASA, EPA, and the State Dept.

Over the course of my grandfather's lifetime, he gifted and "loaned" Donald $413 million. And Donald still declared bankruptcy 6 times. He failed so badly that the banks needed to put him on a $425,000-a-month allowance.

Once again the right-wingers on the Seattle City Council misread the election results. They had no kind of mandate to undo this deal. If they do, it’ll go on the ballot next year to get undone. Voters support the minimum wage, not a corporate-bought council.
The Seattle Council will take up a bill allowing businesses with fewer than 500 employees to permanently count tips/benefits toward the minimum wage, altering a deal made 10 years ago for the credit to expire in 2025

ALT if public drug use offends you, advocate for overdose prevention sites. if unhoused people offend you, advocate for affordable housing. if public urination/defecation offends you, advocate for public restrooms. fix the underlying problem instead of blaming the victims

In light of Louisiana’s recent decision to require that the 10 commandments be posted in every public classroom, I’m reminded of this astute observation from Kurt Vonnegut.

I consider this chart to be the clearest indictment of our country’s path over the last several decades: In 1980, the U.S. had a typical life expectancy for an affluent country. Today, the U.S. has the lowest life expectancy of any affluent country:

We told you they would cut vital services instead of taxing the wealthy and big corporations, and now they're cutting vital services instead of taxing the wealthy and big corporations.

I've been waiting 29 years to tell this story about OJ and his days at USC. Now that he's dead (may he burn in hell) I have a story that I signed an NDA for that is no longer valid. I was a junior at USC working in Topping Student Center on campus in 1995. I was an administrative assistant to the President of Student Affairs that semester in the work/study program.
In early 1995, Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian (USC Alumni) walked up to my desk and said they had an appt with my boss. I was studying to be a criminal defense lawyer with a dual major in PoliSci and International Relations so I knew who they were. The meeting lasted about 30 mins.
After they left I looked at my boss like wtf was that all about!? He walked me outside and we sat by the old sprawling big tree outside Topping and my boss lit a cigarette for the first time in years and told me I had to sign an NDA because I could confirm OJ's lawyers were there for a meeting. Then he told me what the meeting was about.
Before OJ could graduate from USC, the university paid off two families of two blonde white girls that he had dated and battered. They had both gone to the LAPD to report it. One claimed he also sexually assaulted her in their relationship. The school had a vested interest in OJ going far in football and protected him at all costs. OJ had been in custody for 6 months and lawyers were in the discovery process for the trial and OJ's friend Robert Kardashian, who knew OJ from also being a student at USC, thought it would be best if those stories never saw the light of day. So a large check was written, given to my boss, and they left. I'll never forget holding that check.
Now, did you hear about this before now? Nope. That's how much power money enables.
After he was acquitted I changed my major to Philosophy/Psychology double major. I understood that I could harm society more than not if I pursued law. This is also why I abhor the Kardashians. They're rich thugs. Nothing more. #OJISDEAD

Libraries are more than just books. They’re the places poor people go to get essential tasks done.
These are a few of the critical services the City will cut to pay for cops’ massive raises.
BREAKING: Seattle Public Library announced 1,500 hours of closures in the next eight weeks due to staffing shortages. Library workers, upset with the decision, say is a policy choice, not an inevitability to cut service.

The City is denying Seattleites 1,500 hours of learning, checking out books, applying for jobs, talking with neighbors, sheltering from bad weather, and, though librarians should not be de facto social workers, perhaps overdose prevention, workers said.

Pacific Place the ghost town mall?? 70% of the retail space there have sat empty since 2019. If you aren’t catching a movie, you aren’t going to Pacific Place. Amazon’s a couple streets over maybe they can tell us why brick and mortars are dying.
Seattle is suffering another economic blow to its downtown core with the announcement that Lululemon will be leaving Pacific Place later this month.
