The Trainborne Toxic Event

It’s been nearly two weeks since a freight train derailed outside of East Palestine, Ohio and the controlled burn of toxic chemicals it was carrying. Though officials say the area is now safe, some residents are afraid to return home, amid worrying signs that toxins may be lingering in the surrounding environment.

The CDC says teenage girls in the U.S. are “engulfed” in record-high levels of depression, violence, and trauma. According to a new report, early 3 in 5 said they persistently feel sad or hopeless – the highest rate in a decade.

And in headlines: the gunman who killed 10 people in a racist mass shooting in Buffalo last year was sentenced to life in prison, New York Times contributors and LGBTQ advocates sent an open letter denouncing the paper’s coverage of transgender people, and Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon said she will step down.
