I studied abroad with Amber at Ohio State. As an undergrad I experienced first-hand the University’s apathetic response to my own harassment complaint (which also involved a graduate student in a prestigious program). I believe her.
🚨The Ohio State University punishes victims of dating violence that use self-defense.🚨
I’m blowing the whistle on OSU's Title IX violations and the coverup after I reported my abuser.
Please share to bring justice & warn other students/workers🧵

From our organizer in East Palestine: the dam constructed to hold back toxic waste has broken after today’s heavy rain and the area is flooding.
Safe homes and independent testing NOW.
@ohiodnr claimed in a Feb. 23rd statement that wildlife haven’t been observed to be suffering since the derailment on Feb 3rd. We found these in Leslie Run weeks later. I’m no toxicologist but that looks like suffering to me (those are blisters on the salamander). #eastpalenstine
Community organizing in action. Tonight @RiverValleyOrg put together a panel of scientists and experts including environmental specialists from the University of Pittsburgh to answer the community’s questions about the chemicals dumped in East Palestine.

@paddockplays Writing off an entire state instead of understanding key issues and right wing strategy to devise ways of actually building solidarity and influence in communities that might not immediately align with you AND ones that already do is exactly how you lose an entire state
After asking why people are getting sick if the air and water are safe, residents come to find out that Norfolk Southern wasn’t in attendance to answer because they “feared for their safety.”

@POTUS@PeteButtigieg how will the corporation responsible for dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of carcinogenic compounds into this town be held accountable? What consequences will they face? We’re begging you to acknowledge what’s happening here.
Tonight people shared that they’ve been waking up with burning airways, their kids are covered in rashes, and that they have nowhere else to go. Some wept as they spoke. They are genuinely afraid.
Full house at East Palestine’s community open house. Reps from various state and federal agencies are answering questions. Norfolk Southern is not present. #eastpalestine#ohio#eastpalestineohio
While distributing water in East Palestine today, one resident shared with me that Norfolk Southern reps are checking ID’s to ensure people picking up bottled water live in the 1 mile evacuation zone. Those outside the zone, even slightly, have to buy their own.

Switching it up with a more positive post.
A lot of people aren’t aware that eastern Ohio actually has some really beautiful natural areas. Here are a few places on public land within 20-25 minutes of East Palestine.

I lived near East Palestine for 20 years and came home to document the derailment impacts. I have no following but this is my most anonymous social media account and I’m going to try posting some things here, starting with this (fish footage by me)

@NydxkPols @GoodVibePolitik I’m saying they have changed their narrative multiple times about the severity of the impacts. The responsible thing would have been to say “we don’t yet know what’s in this water, do not use it.”
EPA assured residents repeatedly that the water is safe bc the contamination on the surface and won’t affect well water (as if there isn’t exchange between the two)
Today, we have this
Given how they’ve minimized things so far, I can only imagine how bad “At Risk” actually is.
