how’s that going bestie

Very much so. Yes. 😅

in general i agree that encouraging unsourced twitter hysteria is a bad thing but there is absolutely a media blackout happening in ohio rn and posting links to the occasional news article about it doesnt necessarily disprove that. this is a major, entirely man-made and preventable environmental catastrophe that should be plastered across the news 24/7 but that didnt even get 10 minutes of weekend coverage on the most “left” liberal channels like pbs. this shit is being actively sidelined by alien balloon hysteria bc it’s a direct result of the conditions rail workers were set to strike over until the millionaire railroad bosses colluded with biden and congress to forcibly prevent them from doing so. the fact that people in east palestine are being told everything is safe and fine while fish float up dead in their rivers and streams is not invention or overstatement. meanwhile buttigieg still hasnt said shit about any of this and apparently has no plans to reinstate baseline safety regulations to prevent this from happening again in the future.
