How can we call ourselves the greatest country in the world when its elected leaders sit on their hands while children are murdered while hiding behind their desks?
We can't. And we should be ashamed.
Officials originally said they believed 3,500 aquatic animals died because of the Ohio train derailment. Now the toll is estimated to be more than 12 times that amount – and officials say they're unsure how long environmental recovery will take. https://t.co/63BqoULUkx
BREAKING: A Train derailed in Washington, killing 3 people, injuring 62, and causing $40 million in damage. Biden & Pete Buttigieg will not be going to the scene and there will be no FEMA aid given.
Now that I got your attention, this accident actually happened in 2017 under President Trump. Trump never visited the crash site, and neither did his Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. Instead Trump used the crash to try and tout his failed infrastructure plan, tweeting, “shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly.” He then went on to deregulate multiple safety precautions on trains.
No FEMA aid was given to anyone after this accident either and it was otherwise ignored by the administration.
So, a train derailed in Ohio on Friday carry hazardous materials - there is now a 10 mile radius of toxic fumes, and the Ohio river is now testing positive for toxic chemicals.
And golden boy Mayor Pete and the White House HAVE NOTHING TO SAY?!? Is this America?!? THIS IS INSANE
In exactly one week @US_FDA and @BrainstormCell will meet to discuss NurOwn.
The ask from the ALS community is simple: Give NurOwn an Advisory Committee Meeting like every other treatment.
It’s time to let the science speak for itself.
