Without any extra funding, the city of Flint, Michigan will run out of the money it needs to keep buying bottled water and water filters for residents in 51 days.

Where are the celebrity’s now? … Where is Hillary since she got her nod from the DNC .. Where is the President? .. Why hasn’t the governor been ousted or put in jail? How long are these people going to be without clean drinking water?? It’s been years since they found out, and still nothing is being done.  

HOW IS THIS STILL FUCKING HAPPENING

Kay.

The federal disaster designation expired because of Republican sandbagging in the Senate.

The State has pledged money to continue providing water and filters, but there’s also a multimillion dollar suit against the governor, and the six state employees who’ve been criminally charged are still receiving paychecks from the state.

Snyder is still in office because both legislative branches are controlled by Republicans, and because he has the backing and support of the wealthiest families in Michigan (who also made PR donations of water and filters).


If you want regular reporting about Flint from non-Tumblr sources, check out Michigan Radio (michiganradio.org). Their coverage has been outstanding, and they are continuing to report about the water crisis.

If you want to donate money to orgs providing water and filters, tax-deductible donations can be made to The United Way of Gennessee County Water Fund and the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.

Also, check the Wikipedia “Current Events” section. If an event is still listed, it’s still ongoing. There’s a LOT of things going on that the news stopped reporting on because the story just entered a holding pattern (”Day 593, still no clean water” isn’t exactly immediate news, considering it will take ten years to fix the damage).


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events  This is an aggregate of events from multiple news sources around the world, and on the right side it maintains a handy list of ongoing events, crises, cultural things such as Pokemon Go, and conflicts. It also maintains a list of recent deaths for people who may be significant somewhere in the world and a list of upcoming elections.
