In case you didn’t know, Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio and released toxic chemicals because of their refusal to invest in safer trains, are also funding the “Cop City” in Atlanta where a protestor was recently murdered by Atlanta PD.
On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵
A hazardous materials expert recommends anyone in the East Palestine area "get a health check-up. Get a record now of where your health stands so that moving forward, you'll have documentation of any possibly related effects to the train derailment."
I don't have any major trips planned this year. Thought it'd be chill.

While over 60% of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck, three people own more wealth than the bottom half of American society. Got that? That's 1, 2, 3 people with more wealth than the bottom 165 million people.
So many explosive details in the @ODCA_DC's report on @DCPoliceDept officers who got their jobs back after they were fired—some of whom the auditor says are a "threat to safety." It's also incredibly significant that ODCA published officers' names:
This is the most I've ever spent on rent and in order to live in a building that's not as old and has "amenities" like A/C, a ceiling fan, or double paned windows, I would have to pay about $1k more per month.
Let's say it again:
Between 2012 & 2020, L.A. housing cost doubled.
During that period, L.A. homelessness doubled.
Studies confirm that the COST OF HOUSING is the primary cause of homelessness. Full stop.

I have officially run out of enough serenity to accept the things I cannot change. There’s simply just not enough fucking serenity to be had at this point. Maybe this is a supply chain thing too, I don’t know.
@theCaroAngel I did the same thing! Getting it tomorrow morning and have been making sure to keep my calendar completely clear for my "sick" day. I have a lot of shows to watch haha.
