Hi, I'm Amy Goodman. This month, Democracy Now turns 27. Since our very first broadcast in 1996,

Democracy Now has been committed to fearless independent journalism. At this critical moment,

when press freedom is under attack, our reporting is more important than ever. To celebrate our 27th

anniversary, please donate today at democracynow.org. We're counting on you. Thank you so much.

From New York, this is Democracy Now. Norfolk's father and and the other

fray rail companies need to stop fighting us. Every time we try to do a regulation.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has visited East Palestinian Ohio for the first time,

since a Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals,

derailed three weeks ago, blanketing the town with a toxic brew of spilled chemicals and gases.

It was 100% preventable. That's what the National Transportation Safety Board says about the accident.

We'll go to Ohio for the latest. Presidential candidate Donald Trump was also in East Palestine this week.

We'll talk to a union official about how Trump sided with railroad companies to roll back rail safety

regulations. Will the Biden administration reverse those rollbacks? Then we go to the occupied West

Bank, where Palestinians held a general strike Thursday after Israeli forces killed 11 Palestinians

and injured 500 in a rare daytime military raid in NAPLIS.

It is the day of morning period and a strike. How would we be able to work or eat or drink,

and our brothers and NAPLIS are being killed? We should stand in solidarity with them,

with the people of NAPLIS, and there should be a general strike, and thank God the strike is in

all the West Bank and Gaza. We'll speak to the Israeli journalist Amira Haas and the Palestinian

Activist Issa Amro, who was recently beaten by an Israeli soldier while being interviewed by the

author Lawrence Wright. All of that and more coming up.

Welcome to democracy now, democracynow.org, the Warren Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman.
