As much as I'll miss it, I find it unethical to participate in a Twitter owned by a man mainstreaming literal fascists because free speech, yet who blocks me because I once tweeted something snarky about Tesla.

So I'm stepping away while I decide whether to delete my account.

4/4 That said, pay no attention to anti-tax fear mongers. I turn 60 next month, and I promise you that I won't see a broad-based WA state income tax in my lifetime. Or probably, in anybody's lifetime.

1/4 I'm going to break my 5-month Twitter boycott briefly to note that while the Quinn opinion declines to explicitly reexamine Culliton (WA's income tax ban) it certainly provides the legal precedent for doing so. At the very least, it greatly narrow's Culliton's scope.

3/4 So while it's disappointing to me that the majority chickened out on a historic opportunity to overturn a historically bad decision, they have at least opened the door to the possibility of a substantially less regressive and more efficient tax structure in WA state.

To be fair to NYT, right-wing extremist political violence is in the process of becoming so commonplace that it soon won't be newsworthy.

Weird that with Republicans running TV ads essentially accusing Democrats of murdering children that somebody might try to assassinate the Democratic Speaker of the House.

@Jim_Brunner @nwasianweekly The article cites Viet Wah closing, but it closed because the property was sold and is being redeveloped, and the owners have said they hope to come back to the CID despite its recent problems: “I think coming back just naturally makes sense.”

@ChrisRohrbach7 "Like" has nothing to do with it. But I'm absolutely voting for Hobbs.

If I were friends with any of those people appearing in those Tiffany Smiley ads, I wouldn’t be anymore.

.@zachariahsilk joined @AGOWA this morning to announce this victory against price gouging and corporate collusion in the poultry industry. Research shows corporate profits accounted for 60% of the inflationary increases American families paid last year. Read more below >>

It's simple, he's a national security threat. He's playing footsie w Putin and, as this article points out, Saudi and Chinese owned companies. Letting Musk buy is insane

"It is a great privilege to be a physician, and with that comes a moral and civic responsibility to advocate for the health and safety of our communities. We take an oath to do no harm, so when reproductive care is threatened, it shakes us to our core."

The problem with producing centrist, independent news that treats both sides equally is that such a format presupposes an equal commitment to facts and truth. Debate can then proceed based on the interpretation and emphasis put on those facts. https://t.co/Qwmi3Xyxc0

This is perhaps the most positive outcome an embrace of Trickle Down Economics has ever produced.

Breaking News: Prime Minister Liz Truss of Britain said she would resign after her tax plan created economic turmoil. She took office only six weeks ago.

Well done to Liz Truss, who managed to stay in 10 Downing Street for the same number of days as David Blaine managed to fast in a suspended glass box

This is torn directly from Jim Crow, as were the migrant flights. DeSantis is officially America's most racist post-Civil Rights Act governor. But gas prices, amirite?

Fixed you're headline for you @nytimes:

"Voters overwhelmingly believe the American democracy is in danger, and 40% of them—the Republicans—think that's just great!"

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Voters overwhelmingly believe the American democracy is in danger, but they also don't consider saving it a priority, a New York Times/Siena College poll found. https://t.co/TFxGo8rZSi
