Since its #taxday remember that corporations & billionaires pay less effective taxes then you, esp after Trump’s billionaire tax cuts last year

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Too often men in power abuse,their position for sexual favors. And too often they think temporary Snapchats will save them. It takes a lot of courage to come forward

We have to trust survivors. The account is very graphic and very thorough so please read with caution

My bill AB1729 to modernize & preserve state workers teleworking just passed its first committee 6-0!!

This’ll save the state $225 million and increase the quality of life for our workers who make our ambitious policies daily realities

Trump threatening civilization level genocide. He that needs to be removed. He is a danger to the entire world and to the American people

Our policies are centered on:
-Realizing a place where all people can thrive, not just survive
-Fighting for the people, not the powerful
-Defending freedom and liberty for all
-Mitigating and adapting to AI

We the Legislative Progressive Caucus are prioritizing working families and immigrants at a time when the federal regime is attacking the people. We are deploying every tool possible to reduce the cost of living and fight against ICE’s deportation machine. The Progressive Caucus will not stand idly

My heart breaks for the United States service members killed. My heart breaks for the innocent Iranian schoolgirls killed.

Every child is a parent’s entire universe.

#NoWarWithIran

No one will be freed from another US regime change war. In fact our track record shows we always leave the region worse off

Went to a few Lunar New Year events this weekend - @votealexlee.bsky.social fundraiser, Oakland Chinatown parade, and celebration at the Berkeley central library! More pictures in the thread!

CWC would like to recognize @votealexlee.bsky.social as a 2025 Water Justice Ally! Thank you for your support. We look forward to working together again in 2026!

Telework saves money, cuts pollution, and recruits the workforce Californians rely on. #AB1729 by @votealexlee.bsky.social brings transparency, real data on costs, & accountability for RTO mandates. We stand with @seiu1000.bsky.social for smart, equitable state policy that respects state workers.

3 billion dollars is how much money California would receive if we close the Water’s Edge corporate tax loophole.

Assemblymember Connolly is leading the fight with his bill to close this loophole and ensure corporations pay their fair share.

It’s time to pass this bill now!

A true indication of progressive values taking over is corporations co-opting the message of corporate greed against their corporate competitors

AI slop and racist memes. This is inside the brain of a racist president, who is just as susceptible to disinformation as any poorly informed person on the Internet

They're joyful bright lights who have been thru so much. They were so happy to tour the capitol, one kid even said they wanted to stay in California forever

Remember when we fight injustice, oppression, and genocide it's so the kids can live safe, happy lives

We were really fortunate to welcome 6 kids from Gaza who were temporarily here to receive medical care via @heal.palestine

The more corporate “”moderate”” democrats jump in for governor, the more probable we may end up top 2 Republican candidates post-June

Corporations must choose between their lucrative tax breaks ($40 billion a year of tax breaks are given to corporations) or profiting from the violent deportation machine

I’m introducing the “No Tax Breaks for ICE Contractors Act” — if a corporation has a contract with ICE, that corporation will have all of their California tax breaks canceled

Every ICE “agent” must be prosecuted and ICE abolished

Another civilian murdered — this time jumped by a gang of thugs and shot in broad daylight

ICE is younger than even me. It doesn’t need to exist. The only thing in need of reform is our immigration laws

ICE is beyond reform. It needs to be abolished & henchmen prosecuted

The immigration system must be upheld by boring bureaucracy & courts, like every other civilized country. Not by masked gangs with guns

Any illusion of money for “training” is the half hearted delusion the people are fed up with

US visa processing frozen by Trump admin in 75 countries The State Department will halt visa processing for 75 countries starting Jan. 21 while it reassesses public‑charge screening and vetting procedures.

In yet another white supremacist move, the Trump admin is stopping tourists, scholars, workers from basically huge swaths of Latin America, Africa, Middle East, central & SE Asia from LEGALLY coming to our country. Stupid and racist

“For me, closing tax loopholes is the low-hanging fruit,” said Assemblymember Alex Lee, D-San Jose, who chairs the Progressive Caucus.

Lawmakers explore new taxes to fill California’s ongoing budget deficits California lawmakers in Sacramento debate payroll taxes and closing corporate loopholes to raise revenue and narrow an $18–$35 billion state budget gap.

“I have always been in favor of raising progressive revenue. Especially given that Trump just handed the largest unprecedented tax breaks to corporations and his billionaire oligarch friends … it’s important that California stands on its own two feet.”

Allowing corporations to buy up more houses does nothing to produce more housing. They are gaming and profiting off scarcity

And renters cannot rely on big corporate landlords as a savior to rent SFH. That’s ridiculous

If you believe the only hope anyone has to rent a SFH is through institutional investors, and private equity firms, then you are not living the life of a renter in suburbia (like me) where mom & pop Landlords still exist. Allowing corporations to buy it more houses does nothing produce more housing
