Train carrying hazardous materials derails in Michigan

At least six cars were off the tracks in Van Buren Township, which is about 30 miles southwest of Detroit.

It's near Detroit, so toxic gases may improve air quality

Tell me again how pipelines are unsafe

Well I hope these two rot or at least where is the shovel.

On the next Law and Order: SVU...

Wait, they already did that...life imitates art.

Certainly the water quality

Well if they are regulated like other logistics/transportation items in the US, nothing is safe.

Just imagine a cluster of pipelines for all dangerous liquids and if one leaks.

Just for reference the US averages over 1,000 train de-railments per year.

You can look here:

And if going by state the big three are 1 TX 2. IL 3. CA.

Baffled Dianne Feinstein walks out of Senate chamber wondering what just happened: 'Did I vote for that?'

Sen. Dianne Feinstein seemed confused Wednesday about her position on two Senate votes. And she's still got nearly two years to go before retiring.

Good thing she doesn't represent the largest amount of population per senate seat in the US.

Im not saying the toxic train deraliments are not a big deal, the East Palestine one might end up being huge, but I've always heard a major issue with a major pipeline would be catastrophic to the area. Maybe I am wrong or the info given to me is wrong.

Cynic in me say that if Mike D is asking for help, the situation must be DIRE

I agree not sure how it could be any safer and if leaking there is a good possibility of not detecting the issue for a period of time.

It will be a better world when we normalize seeking help. Mental health is health. No one would say negative things about someone going to ER with a broken leg.

Get well, John.

Get fucked all those that are going to seize on this to attack him.

Who is to say the root cause but having a stroke at that age and it taking a toll on you doesn't help.

I hope he gets all the help he needs.

That’s definitely a Twitter thread you’re not going to want to read the replies on


/all of the God-fearing Christian conservatives who love everybody are sure pulling for him

Yep I read a few and scrolled away.

Color me dumb but I never realized what a dinosaur we are with our constitution. I listened to a long interview with journalist-playwright Heidi Schrek who wrote a play called "What The Constitution Means To Me". She studied our constitutions and many other constitutions in writing that play. According to her a lot of nations have trashed or re-written their constitutions because they were written by people who would be completely lost in our times. We still worship ours.

Also our constitution is full of negative rights, not so many positive rights. Whereas other constitutions provide more positive rights like clean air and water, healthcare etc. She was pretty interesting.

But were still the best! USA USA USA.

Ok, no more serious posts from me. I think I'll take a few shots at @mattola and the Canucks now.

People attacking him personally can get fucked but I think there’s valid criticism out there toward his wife, his party and his campaign staffers who seem to have exerted pressure to continue with the campaign when there was no good reason for him to do so personally.

Nothing to see here Republicans

I don't think the liberals should be interrupting our right to guns. That is my right.
