TL:DR: The people who have the least give the most (presented as a startling revelation). The question that ST doesn't ask or address is wtf is wrong with rich people and what is their responsibility to help when so many can't afford to feed themselves? www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Throwing trans people under the bus is disqualifying for my vote. TBH, failing to disavow members of your party who do so is also disqualifying.

In other words, the Seattle Times reporter just took Rivera's word that the John Jay College consultant she wants to hire for $440,000 is more "evidence-based" than the program Johns Hopkins offered for free because it excludes police "by design." But that's literally not true!

Seattle city council's District 5 has been held by pro-business backed candidates for a long time. Debora Juarez has held this seat on-and-off for nearly a decade. Cathy Moore won the seat in 2024, but resigned 18 months later. There is a special election *right now* to fill the seat until 2028.

It's also telling what kind of programs get pitted against each other and in what context. This is part of a conversation about a $1.3 BILLION levy. And it's food access for kids. When it's SPD's budget on the line, the conversation is entirely different and we end up spending affordable housing $.

The thing is, doing sports like Norway (focused on fun, companionship, team spirit) rather than the US (focused on intensity, suffering, competition, which individual is "best") isn't just healthier & more pro-social, it produces *better athletes*.
