What @maddow.bsky.social is doing to amplify the fight against the building of concentration camps in various small towns across America is matched only by her exposure of the #FlintWaterCrisis in 2010 and is (arguably) only eclipsed by @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social’s reporting on the #EpsteinFiles.

Senator Jeff Merkley•..: 20 Apr 2016 •@SenateDems action to repair water infrastructure w/programs like #WIFIA could mean millions won't have to face their own #FlintWaterCrisis

smart water magazine Dec 2024 https://smartwatermagazine.com/news/us-epa/epa-announces-319m-wifia-loan-oregon-drinking-water-system-upgrades “….Bull Run Treatment Program is a huge step torward in our work to ensure clean, safe, and reliable water for Oregonians," Senator Jeff Merkley said. "Oregon's leaders derve a tremendous share of the credit for this milestone, as it was their persistence in brainstorming solutions to water infrastructure challenges that led me to create the WIFIA program. With this new federal backing, not only will Portland-area folks be getting safer drinking water…”

Deeply disappointing OR Senator Merkley - whom our advocates met w to discuss Portland’s *multiple lead crises* - chose optimizing narrative

Vs protect PDXers from lead exposure (w free🚰 filters)

Habari gani? Nia! Purpose!
In 2015 we joined @thursdaynetwork and other @nulyp chapters to organize a water donation drive for the #FlintWaterCrisis. Since 2015, we have hosted our annual Flint Weekend of Service for 9 years.

Michigan House Republicans cut $8.3M in Flint recovery funds, calling it “waste.”
Flint lawmakers say kids still suffer from lead exposure’s long-term effects.

Cruel or fiscally responsible?

Michigan House denies millions in funding for Flint water crisis programs, labeling it "waste" Michigan House voted to block $8.3 million for Flint water crisis programs, with GOP leaders labeling the funding as "waste."

So now ya'll know why we are STILL STANDING ON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE BUSINESS✊🏿

No amount of money could EVER fix the irreversible damage caused to Flint residents, so to STILL deny some semblance of justice is inhumane💔 #FlintWaterCrisis

I'm sort of surprised that Trump didn't name former Michigan governor Rick Snyder to head up the EPA.

@statesencherry thinks Michigan is the perfect place for carbon sequestration. Is he volunteering Flint to have that stuff pumped into their aquifers? Hasn’t Flint had enough trouble with water poisoning? www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/ #flint #flintwatercrisis

Judge orders EPA attorneys to work during government shutdown on Flint water case Judge Judith E. Levy denied EPA's request to delay the lawsuit, stating "plaintiffs and the EPA deserve to have this case resolved."

Judge Judith Levy ordered EPA lawyers to keep working on the Flint Water Crisis case — even during the federal shutdown.

More than a decade later, Flint families are still fighting for accountability.

AP Headline discussing how fascists move operatives around like chess pieces, thinking nobody will notice. everybody does the same jobs in a Hitlerian regime like Donny's

past crimes and malfeasance by Rick Snyder bear striking resemblance to today's seizure of Washington, D.C.—both of which disproportionally affect people of color

always my preference to connect fascists' current ops (99% of which are illegal) to past #DryRuns, and in their seizing D.C. we must rewind to Rick Snyder's "emergency" "managers" in #FlintWaterCrisis apnews.com/article/wash...

More than 10 years later, Flint declares its water safe after replacing lead pipes, but health issues and doubts persist | CNN Eleven years after Flint’s historic water crisis, lead pipes have been replaced, but many residents still refuse to drink or bathe in the water without a filter.

🚨 Flint’s “safe” water still carries unsafe trust. 11k lead pipes gone, EPA lifts order—but residents live with poisoned kids, health scars, delayed justice & no accountability. “Flint is not fixed.”

Remember when Rick Snyder did this in Michigan?

He appointed an “emergency manager” in, among other places, Flint, Michigan.

The emergency manager in Flint decided to change the water source for the city, leading to the #FlintWaterCrisis and the poisoning of children.

Welcome to Flint: The Water’s “Safe,” but the Trust Is Still Toxic By someone who still claims Flint, even when the water won’t

11 years later, Flint finally gets lead-free pipes. But don’t let the headlines fool you — trust isn’t something you can replace with a wrench.
My birthplace deserves more.
