🚨"Please declare an emergency declaration—save our kids!" -sick #EastPalestine residents shouted at OH statehouse as they were REMOVED. "If @GovMikeDeWine does not [declare emergency], there a lot of residents who can't get help."

4 months after Norfolk Southern DETONATION...
@GovMikeDeWine #EastPalestine residents continue to suffer from bloody noses, nausea, dizziness, burning eyes, chemical burns, sinus issues, headaches, sore throat, numb lips & tongue, fatigue and even blood coming from their rectums...
@GovMikeDeWine Yet, the EPA continues to tell residents air, water, and soil testing are producing safe levels (despite EPA officials acknowledging their equipment can't detect all contamination levels). And Gov. DeWine, inexplicably, refuses to declare a state of emergency...

Sulfur Run, where the chemicals first entered waterways from The Norfolk Southern #disaster is practically free of water in some places.
Some places are flowing others seemingly with stagnant pools.

Sheen still exudes from the Sulfur Run creek banks in places where we visited.
We did see free floating sheen (not from us disturbing) after the confluence of Sulfur Run and Leslie Run.

The US banned Hawaiian language, poisons our water, devastated our universal healthcare, overthrew our country, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence.
Hawaii is a Disneyland-like resort built over our indigenous communities & ancestor's graves, made to do bastardizations of sacred dances, in 'sexy feather headresses' & entertain the rich tourists for starvation wages, 12 hrs a day 7 days a week, drinking jet fuel poisoned water

US-occupied Hawaii is living sardine-packed 20-to-an-apartment next to methlabs, paying $3k / month, getting raped by Americans in tacky hotels, especially US soldiers. And then be arrested for speaking your own language, dying in prison, or of diabetes at age 39.

Visited a home today along Sulfur Run.
It’s still contaminated.
After moving rocks, the PID read 2.1 ppm (not ppb) coming off the creek.
Background in air was 0-3 ppb

Contractors (paid by someone) seem to have left garbage in Sulfur Run. They didn’t clean up. You can’t tell me the sorbent pad is going to be used again.

🧵Stitching together the truth. One thread at a time. 🚨On the Board of Directors for the company that makes #Moderna's #COVID19 vaccine are many names I've looked into. One name I hadn't yet investigated is one of MOST important: Mitch Daniels Jr.🔍

This isn’t a classic chemical spill. Officials set hazardous chemicals -on fire- likely creating 100s-1000s of other materials.
You have to throw the kitchen sink at the chemical screening /identification problem. They have not done that, yet.
Officials must course correct.

When you review the county drinking water well testing data they didn’t test for a number of the chemicals in the creek.
So, what was the purpose of testing? Spending that $? Telling residents water is safe?
Why did these agencies choose not to be thorough in their approach?

Fifty cars derailed, the @NTSB reported. The crash sparked a fire, and 11 of the cars contained hazardous chemicals, which soared into the air and onto the ground.

Why is Frank so focussed on the groundwater? Creeks interact with aquifers (underground water).
My dummy interpretation of this geological information is that there is direct interaction between the creeks and the water aquifer under #EastPalestine P49
