@chamath The point of the Billionaire Tax Act is to enact a ONE-TIME 5% tax on BILLIONAIRES, and can only be amended in ways consistent with that purpose. Making the tax permanent or expanding it to people who are not billionaires is not consistent with the purpose, so itโs not possible.
@FreedomFdtn Also false. The billionaire tax CANNOT be expanded to include home equity, savings, or retirement accounts. This is a lie being spread by a handful of billionaires because they donโt want to pay their fair share to save healthcare.
@FreedomFdtn THIS IS NOT TRUE. The legislature can only amend the Billionaire Tax Act if the statute is consistent with the purpose of the act, which is to put a ONE-TIME TAX on BILLIONAIRES. If youโre not a billionaire, you will not pay this tax.
140 caregivers at Vibra Ballard just joined our union with an 80% YES VOTE. Now 4 of the 7 Vibra facilities in California are UHW. Do YOU know workers at Vibra in Redding, Fresno, or Rancho Mirage? Private message or email us at [email protected] so we can connect with them!

Weโve been on the front lines of this pandemic caring for patients, disinfecting rooms, while watching so many of our patients die and terrified we might bring #COVID19 home to our families. Support @AsmPatODonnell#SupportAB650#ab650
A step forward in our effort to win real recognition for healthcare workers: #AB650, the Healthcare Worker Recognition and Retention Act just passed out of the Assembly Labor Committee!
Thank you for the overwhelming response to help the migrant children. Our first major volunteer opportunity is a citywide book drive. Feel free to organize your own neighborhood, church, or school drive and help us get books. Hereโs how to help: https://t.co/i8qdtQXY2H
Justice would be if George Floyd was alive.
Today, we have the bare minimum: a recognition that George Floyd's life had value & that his murderer won't walk free.
As a labor movement, we must recommit to doing our part to dismantle structural racism.
The Senate should pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to hold law enforcement everywhere to the highest standards of accountability and help build trust between law enforcement and our communities.
