Just eight months into the Trump administration, white nationalists engaged in an ugly streetlight with counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia. By the end of the day, Heather Heyer had been killed in what’s now being described as a neo-Nazi terrorist attack. Dan Savage, Rich Smith, and Eli Sanders talk about how we got here, Trump’s reprehensible response, and the conundrum of how far to go in publicly shaming and physically confronting neo-Nazis.

After that, Heidi Groover is on to talk about the Democratic Socialists of America. Why do they think they’re a better alternative to the Democratic Party? Are they trying to be spoilers in the next presidential election? What’s with the roses on their Twitter handles? And, okay, they read Jacobin, but how exactly does one pronounce Jacobin?

Finally, a full solar eclipse is coming! But mostly only to Trump country! Is that fair? If you simultaneous orgasm during TOTALITY does magic happen? Will Eli make it back from his eclipse-chasing trip next week?

Plus, as always, the music of Ahamefule J. Oluo.
