"For many parents in Multnomah County, Preschool for All has been a "lifesaver" "It's been huge, it really has been life changing," Helwig said." "We would never have been able to afford preschool at all for both of our children; the daycare preschool bill would have been more than our mortgage."

This is awesome.

The Portland Thorns drew their largest-ever crowd for a home opener (21,321)—and to top it off, they secured a shutout victory against Seattle. Despite two early red cards, the Thorns’ tough defense and two early goals propelled them to a smooth win in an absolutely electric Providence Park.

Nothing has made me feel more like an official Portlander (moved here in 2012) than my doctor telling me I have a severe vitamin d deficiency.

Business interests say that Multnomah County’s tax on high income earners to pay for free universal preschool is prompting those payers to leave. Data suggests otherwise.

fighting the institutional adoption of ai is slow and difficult. but as individuals, we can still largely opt out, at least from direct use. i sincerely believe that those who do so will find solidarity in creativity, imagination, and humanity. in intelligence.

Well that sucked.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him

The wall has fallen at the Crystal Ballroom. All ages shows with wristbands and no divider are here.

Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah have just been issued lifetime suspensions from Major League Soccer for betting on MLS matches. "After reviewing the results of the investigation, MLS concluded that the players engaged in extensive gambling on soccer, including on their own teams."

Yeah the Timbers were ass and a half tonight, but man this moment was too cool. An 18-year-old Homegrown midfielder, thrust into his Timbers debut in such tough conditions, uncorking an absolute belter to become the youngest goalscorer in Timbers history. Have a celly, kid. #RCTID

Yikes, our midfield is Ortiz and an 18 year old T2 player? 😬

The e-bike is coming out of hibernation. To Providence Park we go.

Tis quitin’ time 😮‍💨

As PFA expands, so will economic benefits to our region. PFA can boost parent earnings by over 20%, saving participating families $18,600 per child. This helps skilled professionals lay down roots – attracting and retaining workers while building a more prosperous community for every taxpayer.

Pumped to see Club America will return to Providence Park this year. Should be an incredible atmosphere. 🇲🇽

High goth to non-goth ratio on the 14 today.

Extra Toasty Cheez-Its FTW

Preschool for All is rapidly growing. Soon tuition-free preschool will be available to every 3 and 4 year old in MultCo, saving families an average of $18,600 per child. We stand ready to provide our expertise so the success of PFA can expand to all of Oregon’s current and future young families.

FINAL | 🟢POR 3-2 CLB🟡 In the 250th MLS match at Providence Park the Timbers take all three points courtesy of Ari Lassiter’s 88th winner. Portland is unbeaten in 6 straight over Columbus. Great start to the season #RCTID

As Civic Stadium celebrates its 100th birthday, I’ve witnessed a first in my 10+ years as a frequent visitor: someone took a shit in the urinal. #RCTID

HALFTIME: Timbers 2 - 2 Crew Beautiful half of football we just watched from both teams. Portland looks really good with the ball, and could be up 3-2 had Guerra sorted his feet. Giveaway for the opener was poor, aside from that I thought it was a solid half. Drinks??? #RCTID

Home sweet home! #RCTID

Meanwhile, the Multnomah County board is united in efforts to keep guns out of the board room and public buildings…

This doesn’t really do it justice, but there were some cool looking clouds as the sun began to set today.

During severe weather, Multnomah County often welcomes the support of volunteers at emergency shelters. If you are interested in joining this life saving work, please sign up for our next training on March 2 using this online volunteer interest form ⤵️

During a trailblazing public service career, Avel Gordly worked to improve police accountability, mental health treatment and the lives of disadvantaged Oregonians. She died Monday of natural causes. theoregonian.visitlink.me/65GYZi

I’m sad to admit this, but today is my first time at the Winter Lights Festival. As suspected, I’ve been missing out.

Quad God is really a top tier nickname.

A new Oregon initiative petition just dropped. Petitioner Shakur Hussein (who is also suing TriMet for wrongful termination) wants to get something on the ballot in the Nov 2026 election that would require TriMet’s Board and CEO to be elected, rather than appointed by the governor.

Today was a full-circle moment. 💕 In 2020, Portland voters passed police accountability reform with 82 percent of the vote. That didn’t happen by accident. Community members organized, testified, drafted language, debated structure, and refused to accept a system that wasn’t working. 🧵

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Happy sc00t day to all who celebrate. He has risen.

Portlands hottest new music venue: Bank of Expensify

Really hope Music Millennium lands in good hands and continues to be a Portland institution. 🤞

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
