“If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention” - Heather Heyer's Last Facebook Post

In this week’s most shared tweets: President Trump’s despicable response to the horrific violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, incurred global condemnation, from world leaders, to US military commanders, to business CEO’s on Trump’s own advisory council and across the political spectrum. Refusing to address the immorality of neo-Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacists and focusing on reported violence by some counter-protesters has predictably been read by white nationalists as a green light to organize further demonstrations espousing racism, xenophobia, and discrimination. Also this week: terror attack in Barcelona; threats from the Philippines’ president; cruel deportations; and a victory in protecting children from mercury poisoning.
