Has any fund been set up in memory of Heather Heyer?

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 13/08/2017 20:54

Yes, I'm sure I saw a link to it on Twitter, possibly on Jake Tapper cozie, but have been reading so much today.

cozietoesie · 13/08/2017 20:56

Of course.

I see that Obama tweeted - indirectly - about Charlottesville.

cozietoesie · 13/08/2017 21:01

Sorry. 'Indirectly' only in that he didn't specifically use the name. He was quoting Mandela.

Thank you, NorthWest.

Siskind is feeling low. I can't blame her - she's beavering away and must feel every pinprick like a 2x2. I reckon she's being over-pessimistic though.

cozietoesie · 13/08/2017 21:52

They're about to go after McConnell, orlantina. Wink

saffronwblue · 13/08/2017 22:22

Siskind nails it, doesn't she? Truly wise even than we anticipated on every front. The footage from Virginia was shocking on every level.

saffronwblue · 13/08/2017 22:22

Wise = worse

HowDoYouFeelNow · 13/08/2017 23:11

Thanks Roussette Smile.

Siskind is amazing. I wouldn't be able to do what she does every single week, the last two days alone would have finished me. Thanks for posting the Weekly List, all.

cozietoesie · 13/08/2017 23:18

Yes. When this is over, she's on the list of people I mean to email just saying 'Thankyou'. A true heroine.

Good on 'em.

badbadhusky · 13/08/2017 23:39

There's an Andrew Murphy on Twitter posting pics of a large, peaceful protest march in Seattle in support of Charlottesville. Good to see decent people fighting back.

As ever, turning here for the news.
Keep going, lots of us are reading.

My (in my view) slightly Islamophic USinlaws have been on pro refugee solidarity marches. I think my MIL felt a little pressured into it but she has been delighted by the "cool grandma" points she got :). I am very proud of them.

Do I understand rightly that China made a statement? About the murder in Charlottesville?

The North Korean leader must be angry about not making the news headlines as much today....

ringle · 13/08/2017 23:46

Oh sorry China statement on Korea...

Is Trump racist himself or does he just think he can use them?

badbadhusky · 13/08/2017 23:53

Does it really matter, ringle? Either way, he is causing tremendous harm with his silence. (Not having a go - welcome.)

cozietoesie · 14/08/2017 00:26

I don't think he cares either way - except inasmuch as it affects him personally.

lionheart · 14/08/2017 00:34

No question--he has form.
