At least 12 local elected officials, including black county commissioners, Charlotte City Council members who are people of color, and the black chair of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board, received similar letters in recent days, according to representatives of those bodies. The letter, which the Observer obtained a copy of from a City Council member, is also addressed to the local police and fire departments.
The letter to Leake invoked the name of President Donald Trump, said blacks need to “assimilate” to Charlotte and the United States and blamed “twisted media” for problems.
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article233797097.html
“Nothing good will come to you if you don’t change,” the letter to Leake and other commissioners stated. “You need to go back to where you came from … Your freedom was born on the backs of great Americans, white Americans, who fought for you, so get over it. Assimilate.
“One of these days, someone … will round you up. All of you. And send you screaming to the concentration camps where you belong … Be very careful.”
A Mecklenburg County commissioner says she has asked the FBI to investigate who sent her and other black elected officials a racist, threatening letter that said “Black Democrats should be tarred and feathered and run out of town” and sent “screaming to the concentration camps.”
The letter, which Commissioner Vilma Leake read aloud at a recent public meeting, was received by mail at her county office address. It is a nearly two-page-long rant that threatens “someone” may “blow up” a statue of Martin Luther King, Jr., and also says, “I would love it if they would blow you up.”

CVS is blocking access to birth control for disabled, rural, and other women who rely on mail order services.
Unsurprisingly, 12 of their 16 board of directors are men.
This is incredibly dangerous, restrictive, and disappointing. #CVSDeniesCare

Planned Parenthood sets exit from federal family planning program
We can see what happened when they did this on a state level- in Texas:
A lot of women will be hurt. Abortion is but THREE PERCENT of what Planned Parenthood does – AND, they can’t get any federal money for it.
So, the women that use the other 97% of its offered services are going to be hit by this.
this trick here!

He didn’t put it on Twitter, and, I don’t know how to embed videos from Facebook on here. But, Ro-Ro did a short video on Facebook where he showed the invitation from Tyler Perry on the opening of his NEW Studio. It was amazing. It was an entire BOX, and contained a VIDEO invitation.
Go, Mr. Perry.

Tennessee priest bans black housekeeper from his property — then blames his ‘racist dog’
August 15, 2019
By Tom Boggioni
According to a report from WHBQ, a Collierville, Tennessee priest is under fire for banning a black housekeeper in the employ of the diocese from entering his church-provided home because he claims his dog is racist.
In an interview with housekeeper LaShundra Allen, who asked that her face not be shown, she explained that she was told not to enter the home of Rev. Jacek Kowal, a pastor at the Catholic Church of the Incarnation while she was being trained to replace the current housekeeper.
These are two good segments on MoscowMitch:
Mitch McConnell at nexus of increased Russian leverage on U.S.
Rachel Maddow shares details from a recent Pentagon white paper about how Russia secures its influence over other countries’ politics and notes that Mitch McConnell’s role in facilitating an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in his home state of Kentucky, among other things, aligns with Russia’s strategy.
Risky Russian deal a tough choice for Kentucky in economic need
Tom Hamburger, political investigations reporter for the Washington Post, talks with Rachel Maddow about Mitch McConnell’s outrage at the “Moscow Mitch” nickname leveled at him in part because of a Russian business deal in Kentucky that coincided with McConnell’s role in the lifting of particular Russian sanctions, and the mixed emotions about the deal in Kentucky.
Disapproval of Trump higher than approval in ten states Trump won
Rachel Maddow shares the results of a Civiqs poll of Donald Trump’s job approval that found in ten states Donald Trump won in 2016, his disapproval number is higher than his approval number.
