    I was going to ask Norfolk Southern executives to drink the water in East Palestine high school, but the executives didn’t show up (because they didn’t feel safe) and the water fountains in #EastPalestine high school look like this.

    No corporate executives will do jail time for a train full of chemicals exploding in a town. Jail is for poor people with no power. #EastPalestineOhio

    Great video. I'll be watching how you use your power to regulate those responsible.

    Visited a local creek in East Palestine today. These waterways are still very polluted. It’s time for Norfolk Southern to finish the cleanup. Check this video out:

    Norfolk Southern detonated 885,000 pounds of vinyl chloride in East Palestine Ohio. The NTSB confirmed today that they didn't have to. All this a week after Alan Shaw got a 37% raise from 9.8 mil to 13.4 mil. The stock price has recovered. Power must be WRESTLED from these goons

    Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw's total compensation went up 37% last year, even after his company's massive and disastrous train derailment in East Palestine. Shaw got $13.4 million in total compensation in 2023, up from $9.8 million in 2022. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/02/26…

    The water fountains in East Palestine high school from the town hall last night. Norfolk Southern executives cancelled last minute because they felt “unsafe”. Tell that to the people living here. Video credit @jessicaroi99.

    Alright, prove it. Pass the Pro-Act. Show up on picket lines. Break up the railroads and banks. Appoint pro-labor judges and justices of the Supreme Court. Give back all your corporate money. You're from the show me state. Show me.
