Residents of Flint, Michigan, have been poisoned by the incompetence of the state government.
Thousands of children, about 9,000 to be more precise, in the city have been exposed to toxic levels of lead from corrosive drinking water flowing through aging pipes. Levels of the heavy metal measured in city drinking water at the height of the crisis rose above the threshold for “hazardous waste.” Months later, lead levels remain dangerously high.
Both the state and federal government have now declared a state of emergency for the city.
Much of the damage, however, isn’t fixable. Lead poisoning is known to impair cognitive function, shorten attention spans and spur antisocial behavior. The World Health Organization says the “neurological and behavioral effects of lead are believed to be irreversible.”
Flint residents and civil rights advocates have linked the government’s slow response to the crisis to environmental racism, a term that refers to the proven correlationbetween the racial, ethnic and class backgrounds of an area’s residents and proximity to hazardous waste. Flint is a majority-black city where more than 40% of residents live below the poverty line.
The city of Flint used to rely on Detroit’s water authority — one of the nation’s largest — for its drinking water. But as a way to save money, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder decided it would be cheaper to pull water out of the Flint River in April 2014, which is tainted by farm runoff, sewage and decades of industrial effluent. The lead is coming from the aging and rusted pipelines the water is running through.
I know what you’re thinking: Hold up. The water quality wasn’t good enough for industrial purposes, but people were still drinking it? And no one was advocating a switch back to Detroit water?
So then when will Flint’s water be safe to drink again?
45 minutes from where I live 👏🏻🙌🏻🍻
well then I hope you’re donating some water
This is the city I was born/raised/and currently live in. They donated money to fix the pipes but the construction they say could take up to 15 years. And that kids might not get sick from the water NOW for three more years, so kids fine now could be sick in three years.
is… is she ok

Twilight may be trash but at least they cast actual native americans to play natives
The Twilight franchise was basically a great cast all trapped in hell together
When I ordered my Starbomb shirt, in the special notes section I asked @1shirtsupport to list the top 5 reasons why Arin is the best Grump. This is the list I got. Can’t say I disagree!
all I will say is, I didn’t know it was you, @keenveins, when I wrote it. XD
Would the list have been better or worse if you knew it was me? 😉
