In all the coverage of Charlottesville one chant at the protests that I keep hearing is the intro to MDC's "Born to Die" which is the phrase "No War, No KKK, No Fascist USA". It is one of my all time favourite hardcore songs and it makes me proud to hear a song like that being yelled in the streets in opposition to things happening in the States. So we started off the show with MDC and a rant about what has been happening in Charlottesville. Here is an MP3 file of the show.

If you have been listening to “Democracy Now” this week you have been hearing interviews with Cornell West who has talked about how the white nationalists locked the group in a church while they carried torches and threaten to burn it down, while the police stood back and let the white nationalists engage in this terrorism Antifa stepped into save the people in the church. they would be dead. Democracy Now interviewed Mark Bray, who wrote a book called "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook".
In Baltimore two statues were removed. In Memphis crowds linked arms and called for the removal of Jefferson Davis. The movement is growing.
