began my morning writing state senator & reps about pending income tax bill in WA. Tho we have no inc. tax, fees are everywhere. Fees are, almost always, a regressive tax.
$1M doesn't mean what it used to; they’d have better luck upping it to $5M and putting all state fees on the table for review.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

“Democrats unveil WA income tax on people earning over $1 million”

remember, currently we’re a state with NO income tax.

also… a million ain’t what it used to be. i’d prefer a higher tax starting at a higher rate, eg, 5M

WTF! yeah, let’s organize on platforms that scrap your data and support MAGA messaging.
