Why is Flint, Michigan being treated like America’s bastard child? Asking for a friend.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Prosecutors were on the verge of filing major #FlintWaterCrisis racketeering charges against govt officials—for financial fraud that led to the crisis— b4 MI AG Dana Nessel took office, fired prosecutors, & "let it go." By me + @Charlieleduff theguardian.com/us-news/2022…

Flint is a travesty. The English-speaking world is in big trouble. Consider the five patrician sociopaths: Biden. Trump. Johnson. Starmer. Trudeau. Unless the world sweeps these cancerous old bastards off the stage, we're ALL doomed. #Biden #Trump #Johnson #Starmer #Trudeau

Just a guess here. Most of the population of Flint is two things that work against them. One is poor. The other is black. Poor black people are low on the list of people deemed worthy of being helped. Again, just a guess.

I remember a debate, somewhere where you said this would never happen in Grosse Pointe. So true. This is where my family is from, my grandmother I told you about who loved your talks at Unity Church in the 90s. @JordanChariton has done excellent work on #FlintWaterCrisis story.

Because both parties failed the people here. Saying Flint points at a Republican Governor, a democratic mayor, a bloated ineffective EPA and millions of wasted dollars doing nothing. No political points to win so nothing to see.
