For that same $11.3 billion we could've installed about 1.15 gigawatts of clean utility scale solar, enough to power about 750,000 homes.

This was the best moment by far in the 24 Hours of Uninterrupted Thunderdome.
After over 24 hours of debate and rejection of dozens of amendments sponsored by Republicans, the Washington state house FINALLY passes a tax on those earning more than $1 million per year (51-46 ). It now heads to the desk of gov. Ferguson, who is expected to sign it.πΎ Generous applause.
Good morning to everyone except WA state house Republicans who still haven't allowed a vote on the millionaires tax. This, plus a judge restricts ICE from using tear gas on Portland and an anti-ICE anthem from Seattle musician Gabriel Teodros: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...
State rep Michell Valdez gives a rambling speech after staying up for 14 hours in Olympia
You don't actually have to hand it to Republicans for standing up for millionaires for fourteen hours in Olympia. They still haven't allowed a vote on the tax this morning. The Democratic NO votes are very feisty.
Am I live skeeting the endless debate on the millionaires' tax that Republicans are waging at the moment in the #waleg? I guess I am, for a least a few minutes...
Last minute call to action before the vote on WA's millionaires' tax...

#Tukwila action
It has now been a month and Steven continues his hunger strike. La Resistencia has not heard from him for several days and we are very worried for his health.
The Federated Tribes of the Colville have filed a lawsuit against the British Columbia government, claiming the right of the Sinixt tribe to be consulted in decision-making as a First Nation. It's a fascinating #Cascadia cross-border case: #Cascadia. www.cascadia-journal.com/could-a-trib...

You can still submit emails in support to all Seattle city council members at council@seattle.gov
Gov. Ferguson and many legislators don't seem to get that we are actually in a crisis here, and that we can't wait until 2030 for new revenue, or 2031, or 2032. Take some risks, Bob.
Join La Resistencia today at 6pm outside the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) to hear about what is going on inside NWDC, continue being in solidarity with Steven, and hold ICE/GEO accountable for their actions!

Self care, then action.
To be clear, if Donald Trump cancels or significantly impedes the mid-term elections, @cascadiademocratic.bsky.social will start the process of filing a referendum on separation in Oregon and Washington.

The movement for #Cascadia autonomy isn't an ordinary nationalist movement, and might offer a chance to rethink flawed foundations of our global system including border controls, the rights of immigrants, and creating an international tax on billionaires: www.cascadia-journal.com/imagining-ca...
Washington state residents! Please take a few minutes to vote pro for this bill! It is time for the wealthy to pay their fair share towards the common good! @cascadiarevolt.bsky.social @cascadiademocratic.bsky.social
I wrote something about how the movement for #Cascadia autonomy could also challenge the flawed foundations of the global system of nation-states: www.cascadia-journal.com/imagining-ca...
