Chicago has around 400,000 water lead pipes still in the ground, more than any other American city.
Lead pipes that carry drinking water raise the risk of lead exposure that can damage brain development in children. https://t.co/ya1aBICM3Y
I just want people to know that there were 20,000 gun deaths last year. That’s 54 a day. If you’re hearing about them now it’s because the Copaganda machine is on 10. If the news cycle looks curated it’s because it is.
A 16 year old was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.
A 20 year old was shot and killed for driving down the wrong driveway.
An 18 year old is in critical condition for trying to get into the wrong car.
And a 6 year old and her dad were shot because her basketball rolled onto the wrong lawn.
In a nation armed to the teeth & perpetually primed for war, these tragedies are only going to happen more often, not less.
What the hell are we doing?

EVO MORALES: "We demand that President Biden explain to the world the causes and consequences of the environmental disaster in Ohio. The release of industrial quantities of vinyl chloride and deadly substances will affect the lives of the American people and the global ecological balance.
Instead of explaining themselves, they arrest journalists and try to divert the attention of public opinion. With its arms interventionism and its capitalist policies that contradict its environmentalist discourse, the US government is the greatest danger to the world and humanity."
