Good news!

This thread was getting a little dusty

https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2022/05/01/california-100-percent-powered-renewables-first-time/9609975002/

so last night in the Mitten State a  state house district went blue which was carried in double digits by the cheeto… a district around Grand Rapids which spawned the DeVos's and is a conservative as all get out.. anyways the QOP clown defeated was the one that recently stated that rape is inevitable and his daughters should just lay back and enjoy it… 

his daughter came out against him and he turned around and blamed it on her indoctrination at a liberal university

so is this a case of words matter or evidence of a possible shift from red to blue…

Is the "Mitten state" Utah?

You know the state shaped like a mitten with the extra peninsula bit…

Although I see the case could be made that Wisconsin is mitten shaped if you look really hard at it…

I was thinking Utah because of Mitten Romney.

President Biden just granted all US veterans and Gold Star families free lifetime admission to National Parks.

Ok, before the USPS closes for good…

The United States Postal Service will honor late actress, comedienne, and Oak Park native Betty White with a new commemorative Forever stamp. USPS will offer the Betty White Forever stamps in panes of 20 beginning Thursday, March 27

My mother and a friend in DC both have had it for over a decade, yet doctors and the public know little about it, how to diagnose or treat it.  Has gotten a lot of support and funds in the last few years due to its similarities to long covid… unfortunately DOGE has pulled 100s of millions to fund research on it

Stuart also has it

none taken, took my mom almost 3 years to get diagnosed
unfortunately, there is no specific test for CFS (or ME Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)


The primary symptom of CFS is significant fatigue that:
Has lasted for at least 6 months
Isn't improved by rest
Can't be explained by other medical conditions
Significantly interferes with daily activities

seek a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about CFS/ME

The worse part of this disease is no one believes you
then encourage you to exercise more (which typically can make matters worse the next day)

here are some sites

this one is more of an take action site/Instagram that has organized many protests on the mall/congress

Eligibility for child care assistance also will extend to grandparents who are in charge of grandchildren, often because of parents struggling with addiction, with no work requirement.

I'm going to put this in the very small Good News Column

President Bill Clinton and his foundation have brokered a landmark deal to provide a new HIV prevention drug, lenacapavir, at a dramatically lower cost for low- and middle-income countries. This agreement, which could help millions access the breakthrough treatment, is a step toward ending the HIV epidemic

Key details of the announcement:

•The drug: Lenacapavir is a groundbreaking HIV prevention drug that is administered as an injection twice a year.

•Reduced price: The deal, negotiated by the Clinton Foundation and partners like the Gates Foundation, will lower the price of lenacapavir to just $40 per patient annually for 120 countries. This is a significant reduction from its previous annual cost of over $28,000 in the U.S..

•Availability: Generic versions of the drug are expected to roll out starting in 2027.

•Partnership: The agreement was reached in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and other organizations, including the Gates Foundation, Wits RHI, and generic drug manufacturers.

Clinton and his foundation have a long history of negotiating lower prices for HIV/AIDS medications for developing nations.
