37th annual African-American Heritage and Multicultural Festival in Staunton’s this weekend. At one time, Black people were only allowed to use Gypsy Hill Park once a year and the city built a separate park rather than integrate. Great history of all this here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5DM...

This is terrible, of course, and an all too frequent news story, but I worry it takes the focus off the reality that over 700 people have been fatally shot by police so far this year.

Fans get so mad when their teams leave runners in scoring position (RISP), and announcers point it out as some fatal flaw of the team, but when you watch a lot of different teams play your realize RISP don’t score the vast majority of the time. What does this say about us as humans?

A letter claiming to be from the Voter Integrity Project, which prompted Hudson’s prosecution, appears to be fraudulent. “I have no idea who Ms. Hudson is, and we’ve never conducted such research on out-of-state voters," says the organization's founder. www.charlottesvilledtm.com/p/was-our-lo...

Was our local electoral board and court system used to target a local activist?

A former federal prosecutor thinks so. There's also evidence that a letter accusing Tanesha Hudson of felony voter registration fraud, which prompted her prosecution, was itself fraudulent.
