Flint water Crisis

In a press conference this morning, Flint Mayor Karen Weaver announced the city will move forward with the KWA as its permanent water source.

Once again, Flint citizens prove that we are more than our water, and that we take care of each other! Article One is a local company that not only makes awesome glasses, they also support a cause that will greatly improve the future of our youth!

Meet Flint resident Delores Ellis. Each and every day she sets out roughly 50 cases of water in front of her home on the city's north side. As you can imagine, the water goes quickly.

Vehicle City Fest will bring 54 bands to four Downtown Flint venues across three days to benefit children affected by the Flint Water Crisis.

If it is not one thing it is another! As if the water crisis in Flint is not a pain in the ass enough, some clean water stations had to be shut down due to shootings nearby. Christ.

Detroit reporter Simon Shaykhet claims he's "exposing the truth behind Flint's water crisis," but he's really just dressing up tabloid journalism as the second coming of Watergate, pun intended.

A group of women dressed in red paint smeared jumpsuits delivered a powerful message today, as they laid silently on the steps of the Flint Water Treatment Plant in protest for the disregard of women's reproductive health in the Flint water crisis.

A new report says that Flint's already high water bills will double by 2022 under the current system.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and Flint Mayor Karen Weaver are officially launching a new ad campaign asking Flint residents to 'Flush for Flint'. Residents are being asked to run cold water at full strength from home faucets a for five minutes each, for two weeks straight. Apparently this will help to remove small particles of lead that may be stuck in pipe systems.

The Flint water crisis has been a long, complex web of failure and miscommunication that has been extremely frustrating for the community to say the least... and that's before you factor in all these uninformed jackasses who constantly say things like "I'm not paying Flint's bills."

Humans are not the only species being affected by the lead in Flint water - dogs are too. Honestly I have not thought about animals drinking the water. Duh! Obviously it has to be affecting them as well.

If I had a title, it would be 'Miss Tequila'. I am quite sure if I wrote the President of the United States a letter - he would not respond. That however was not the case for 'Little Miss Flint', Mari Copeny.
