I’m sure you all have discussed the capital gains tax ruling. But here’s me. It seems that there were a lot of people claiming that this is an income tax. So even though it wasn’t in the ruling, they now should argue that income taxes are legal. Exciting. Of course they won’t. The courts are about enacting policy Republicans can’t enact legislatively.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Spring is in the air AND it’s a Tuesday. Together they make an excellent reason to stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. Join us for political discussions and good cheer over drinks.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm either in the back room of the pub or on the back patio.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter near you.
More time soon? Probably!

Over the weekend, I accidentally took the H line. I was trying to get to West Seattle, and the sign must have said Via Westwood Village, instead of the destination. Yikes. Anyway, it took a little longer to get where I need, but it’s fine. Don’t make my mistake. That said, if it’s your actual destination, it looks good.
Aaaaaanyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
