The biggest tech story for 2026 doesn’t appear to be one: the proposed billionaires’ tax in California, which goes after wealth not income. If we are to dig out of the deep hole of inequality led by Big Tech, we need to support bold ideas like a wealth tax. @thenewpress.bsky.social @seiuca.org

Today would be Dr King’s 97th birthday. A reminder; the holiday should be a day of direct action, not charity. Dr King called out the structures of inequality. When a white woman asked why Black people didn’t just clean up their own neighborhood, he made clear, ”That was the job of sanitation.”
