My two cents on the possibility that PFA may be on track for surplus capability for resource delivery:
1. Good problem to have (it’s good to have buffer capacity so you can avoid rationing)
2. Strong affordability signal: people looking ahead will choose MultCo as a place to raise kids.

The eastbank esplanade is the perfect bike ride until you realize you gotten stop your convo with your biking partner til you’re out from under I-5. Deafeningly loud.
Look at the central city riverfront of Portland. It's just so shocking and embarrassing that we tolerate this.

if preschool for all has more resources than it needs for universal preschool we should consider expanding to a full universal childcare program

Guarantee that as the program rolls out (unless it is ratfucked by Kotek) there will be a flow of families from the suburbs back into Multnomah County and this will solve itself
The program has prepared to offer up 11,000 tuition-free preschool seats by 2030 since its inception. Preliminary data shows there won’t be enough kids to fill them.

Is there anyone running against @tinakotek.bsky.social who wants to reform ODOT, capture Trump tax cuts for state & local programs, and doesn't take marching orders to destroy preschool for all to give a tax cut to wealthy people who just got a handout from Trump? We deserve better than her!

I don’t think @tinakotek.bsky.social realizes how many folks she lost the support of when she went after Preschool for All. I won’t be supporting a candidate who pretends to support working families in words but not actions.
NEW: Gov. Tina Kotek formally announced her 2026 reelection bid Thursday, leaving her less than a year to convince Oregonians she remains the best choice to lead the state.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

There's a persistent reflex to assume that projects like this are liberally coded, only popular in progressive enclaves. But the actual evidence goes the other way. Liberals aren't the only ones who like to cross the street safely. Conservatives also ride bikes and like to do so without dying.

It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place.
Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

I was approached by a lady outside the gym today while parking my bike. She was likely in her 70s. She had such great questions about the bike and then proceeded to tell me about her ebike.
She told me that she rode over 600 miles on it last year and was so proud of herself. She was so happy.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
