The East Palestine #OhioChemicalDisaster is a horrific ecological disaster

Norfolk Southern is going to have a lot of explaining to do because of this train derailment, chemical spill (into local waterways), & chemical fire

There must be accountability for this

A thread 🧵: On 13 February 2023 the public learns of even more toxic chemicals involved in the derailment & fire than were even originally reported

A year ago today I stated I was against any war between Ukraine & Russia

War only benefits the rich who profit from working class people killing each other

I still stand by that sentiment

Since 24 Jan 2022 - 24 Jan 2023 the US Government has given Ukraine $76.8 billion in aid Despite the ludicrous amount of money & aid the US has thrown at Ukraine, it never seems to be enough Image

PPP loans were created in 2020.

Within 1.5 years, over 80% of them have been forgiven, totaling $600+ billion.

Student loans started around 1958-1965.

60+ years later & .6% of student loan debt has been forgiven.

No one asked how we would pay for business loan forgiveness. PPP loans were sold as being a bailout for small businesses, but more than 500 larger businesses got hundreds of millions in PPP loans & had them forgiven - many of those businesses are tied to billionaires or politicians.

Another handout to the rich.
