✍️ It's official! The Millionaires Tax is signed into law. HUGE THANK YOU to Governor Ferguson and all the lawmakers and advocates who have gotten us to this point.
This fight isn't over, but our movement is only getting stronger.
Big Tech AI is stealing from us, building their data centers with our tax dollars, they're raising our utility bills and destroying our land. And they're trying to sell us the biggest scam of snake oil that they can sell our knowledge back to us?
We're being scammed so hard and we need a UBI.
Why do we treat the economy like it’s a force of nature that just happens to us? It’s a system we designed. If it’s not working for the majority of people, we shouldn’t be asking how to fix the people—we should be redesigning the system. Any proper redesign needs to include universal basic income.

“The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,”
Today is David Graeber's birthday. He'd have been 65 years old today.
His ideas are still here and his message is more important than ever before which must remind us that a better world is possible.
Every person deserves to have the means to be independent and have the autonomy to take care of their own needs.
Community and building support for each other is so meaningful, but being at the mercy of others to survive, no one wants if its not a choice.
This is why we need UBI.
No one should ever have to deal with the stress of grocery shopping and having to evaluate what’s the lowest per oz cost.
I stg it’s one the most punitive feelings when you know how rich other mfers are.
Couldn't agree more!
WA state has one of the worst tax systems in the country. Teachers, nurses, & small business owners pay a higher income tax rate than wealthy folks.
Patriotic Millionaire Victoria Hattersly explains why a proposed Millionaires Tax is a first step toward restoring fairness.
How do you think you'd prove or report that your job was fully or partially disrupted by automation?
What is this tp for giants?
Elon Musk could get a trillion-dollar payout while 42 million Americans watched their turn into SNAP benefits political pawns during the government shutdown. That’s not a system, that’s a moral collapse.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
The desire to be a dog that never has to have a job
This Friday, we are starting our monthly Advocate Spotlight! This will be a time to give space to those grassroots and participant advocates ❤️ Faye has been a champion of the movement for 6 years now and we couldn't be happier to spotlight her 👏👏
Never ever ever
This is incredible!!
No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,
it is right.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,
it is a strength.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,
it is unlimited.
How is every post you make so on point!
“There’s too many Americans on SNAP!”
Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.
Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive.
The government encourages this & then blames the poor.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.
Many think poverty is an individual failure, but it’s really a societal one. It’s a shared responsibility we keep avoiding
The irony is that wealth is treated as individual success, even though it depends on society itself
Wealth reveals the nature of our own humanity & #UBI becomes a moral right

Can’t wait for the next Sims expansion pack! I hear it’ll have a plantation home template, a ton of new nazi memorabilia, a trad wife aspiration track, and you can date children! But it will delete all your other expansion packs
Saudi Arabia controls your Sims now.
I want my tax dollars to go to SNAP benefits, not Donald Trump's 7th golf trip of the month.
I want mutual aid to be a practice of sharing of resources that sustains us and lifts people up…
..but I want basic income so that there isn’t a perpetual state of need they’re forced to navigate
They deserve the fairness of and autonomy of income security.
they deserve to not always be in need.
Or if you are chasing material needs without cash involved, you’re spending tons of labor tracking, connecting, sourcing, and coordinating a material that if you had money you could almost instantly buy.
