Hurricane Harvey wreaks havoc in Houston and Texas. It’s a devastating window into our climate future. Violent clashes between right-wing and anti-fascist protesters in Berkeley raises many questions about political strategy, media failures, and militarization of the police. Trump removes the ban on supplying police departments with military hardware. Harriet Tubman is officially off the $20 bill. Oh, and Joe Freaking Arpaio? Really? No connection there. [vader]. At least 100 faith leaders, activists, and students are walking from Charlottesville to DC for a “March to Confront White Supremacy.” They left on Monday and will arrive in DC on September 6. Gorka kicked out of the big house. More staff drama. Kamala Harris signs onto Sanders’s Universal Health Care Bill.
Harrisburg City Council voted to approve Harrisburg Police Department’s request to purchase military grade riot gear. Because Charlottesville? Senator Soprano, Scott Wagner plays his anti-Semitic comedy routine this week in Pittston. Crickets. Alt-Right advocate takes to the pages of Penn-Live to cry, “we’re not Nazis”...we just want to preserve “white heritage and identity.” Dog whistle Dog whistle Dog whistle. And more on the “we’re not racists” front, John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 calls a group of Black Lives Matters activists “rabid animals” following a protest in front of a police officer’s house.
