visit Flint immediately. Screw what Snyder does, he should just be ready not to resist if and when the police finally come for him.

I've been waiting for Sanders to speak out on Flint, get his non-sorry ass over there post-haste, bring a national spotlight to an issue that speaks to everything at once: corporate abuse and plunder, neoliberal insanity, the attack on the public sphere, Tea Partyism, ecology, deindustrialization, and above all the total and deadly contempt and neglect for children, workers, the poor, black people... Flint needs help and Flint is a microcosm of what's wrong with America, 2016.
