The question is not why California goes to such extraordinary lengths to make sure every qualified citizen has the right to vote & that their vote is counted. The question is why wouldn’t every American state want that?

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

@ScottAMeyersLA @RoKhanna Oh the class warfare has been on going from the billionaire / Epstein class who continue to devalue and deprive real working people of what they have earned and what they deserve.

Glad Ro knows what side he is on. Keep licking boots, brother.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

I know I sound like a broken record, but @RoKhanna is giving a master class to other elected officials on what it looks like to be a pro-worker, pro-working class politician right now. No hesitation, no hedging, no apologies. More of this!
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

@JoshBeckerSV @RoKhanna Wow, Josh, really? Love you but:
1) you know that income tax is not how people are becoming billionaires. 2) do you really think they pay their fair share?

I am pretty sure CTA has concerns about prop 98, not taxing billionaires as a general idea. That’s what this reads like.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

I say this as someone who sat on the board of my local Planned Parenthood (who thankfully was neutral during unionization.) In many ways I’m a fan of PP, but ultimately they are in the healthcare business.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

Planned Parenthood also joined big tech in opposing our CNA / @CaliforniaLabor bill to protect nurses from unregulated AI. Some local clinics have fought hard against their workers’ unionization efforts.
@PPActionCA aligns w/ CA Chamber more than economic progressives & labor.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Most uncomfortable liberal political news is Planned Parenthood running an aggressive campaign against California's proposed tax on billionaires.

Oakland is a union town! We stand with the city workers of @IFPTE21 as they fight for a fair contract!

While we paid our taxes, Musk avoided paying his and used our tax dollars to create his personal wealth.

Having even one trillionaire in this world is a policy failure.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

There are 989 billionaires in the United States.

A country can't afford necessary and good things for the whole population & also have a government whose top priority is making sure 989 oligarchs have more than a billion dollars. The math doesn’t work.

Politicians should stop pretending public policies that support the wealth-hoarding of billionaires & trillionaires aren’t a problem.

Those policies are THE problem.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

@CapitolEVAN I read this wrong and I as looking for the single precinct.

Glad it’s missing. Did our job.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

I like THIS Gavin Newsom. Now, what are we going to do about it?

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.

When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.

The system is rigged.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

@themontano Yeah, I should’ve shut off comments from all these assholes.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

Xavier Becerra has been a good friend for more than a decade. I was proud to author & champion many of his sponsored bills when I was in the legislature. And I look forward to his steady, pro-worker, progressive leadership as our next Governor. Adelante!

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

I had a great time at the @AFLCIO conference this past week. It’s always great to talk about taking on the billionaires & the bosses, seeing so many friends & labor leaders from across the nation and getting to spend a few minutes with one of my favorite people: @JulieSuLabor

[TTD | America's Transportation Unions @TTDAFLCIO]

Yesterday, @TTDAFLCIO President Greg Regan spoke alongside @JulieSuLabor, @IAMBrianBryant, @SeanMcGarvey_, & @LorenaSGonzalez at the 30th @AFLCIO Convention. Elected officials must protect U.S. jobs, fund public programs & support strong labor standards to move America forward.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

And yes, I know gig workers are taxed for their entire SS contribution. I still think we should tax the companies that misclassified them. They should still pay.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

This is such bullshit.
Lift the cap, tax the gig companies that have misclassified workers and have not paid into Social Security. Problem solved.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Social Security is on track to become insolvent by the end of 2032, putting benefits at risk of a 22% cut. https://t.co/mLxXCy2iOY

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

@FundsGreen Yes I know.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

@louisminguey I know you do. They should’ve been paying it, along with UI and workers cop.
