More solidarity protests against the violence in Charlotteville are planned for Sunday

Groups have gathered across the nation in solidarity against the violence that occurred at a planned white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

James Alex Fields Jr., who is now in police custody, allegedly plowed into a crowd of people peacefully protesting the white nationalist rally Saturday in a Virginia college town, killing a 32-year-old woman, hurting dozens more and ratcheting up tension.

In New York City, Union Square was packed with people holding signs, some of which read "No To Racism and Bigotry" and "Impeach."

The city's Mayor Bill de Blasio called the violence by white supremacists "domestic terrorism."

6. I quibble, I know, but I hate "erupt."

That verb has violent connotations and it feels a bit like NBC is placating the truly violent white supremacists. It's whispering, "Both sides do it." In fact, I've found no reports of violence associated with tonight's gatherings. I'm probably being overly sensitive, but words matter and the track record of the MSM leaves much to be desired.

8. The Radical Right/American Nazi Terrorist Party LOVE this.

They WANT civil war. So do the Nazis in our gov't: Bannon, Miller, Gorka, Trump. They have emboldened, encouraged this. They have OPENLY stated they want it.
