PDX Homeowners: if you don't have a smart thermostat yet, now's your chance, as basically all of them are a mere $25 through EnergyTrust right now. https://t.co/HiZZ4CZyWO

$250 Nest? $25. $190 ecobee? $25. I successfully ordered, but I did need to use Chrome to make the account.

Congress can change the number of justices on the Supreme Court at any time, and has done so 7 times throughout history.

Since 1869, the last time the court was expanded, the U.S. population has grown by over 800%, yet the court has stayed stagnant at 9 justices.

Here's my full spot on CSPAN dealing with Republican callers over abortion. Stay till the end (39 min mark) where the guy tells me that I'm wrong about abortion because the line should be at "fetal viability"

@JoAnnPDX Please yes! More walking/bicycling, and close some areas to cars!

Portland needs more public pools. The closure of Columbia Pool in North Portland is an enormous loss and the state has an opportunity to fill the gap in partnership with @PDXParksandRec. Please sign on to this letter if you believe this should be a state-supported investment.

This is Amir Locke. He was a son, a brother, a new business owner and wanted to make music like his father who is known to many in the Twin Cities music community as “Lil Buddy McClain”. Instead Amir was fatally shot by a Minneapolis officer seconds after he woke up Wednesday

6/ Of Major Importance!

Ppl exiting isolation Early work were shedding positive had HIGH amounts of virus.

The MOST common virus was “High” virus load. As measured via the Intensity of the color of the Rapid Antigen positive test line.

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

Tip

If you just became symptomatic & have 1 rapid test, Wait 24-36 hrs to use it so virus has a chance to grow to be detectable. Assume infectious in meantime.

If you have 2, use 1 and if Neg, test again 24-36 hrs later, as above.

If Positive, you have your answer immediately

This is insane

In US in 2022

Nearly all PCR lab results in Some states are being returned 7-12+ days later!

In US we’re still putting massive energy and $$ into entirely ineffective testing

For ANY benefit, test results must be fast for this virus
