CW: Murder, traffic violence, white supremacy
This is always a tough time of year for me. I am happy that the city of Charlottesville closed Heather Heyer Way to through traffic running at killing speed through the memorial, at least for the day. I still hope that we can fix this for more than one day a year. #SafeStreets #cville #Charlottesville #DowntownMall https://www.12onyourside.com/2026/08/12/heather-heyer-way-closure-marks-nine-years-since-her-murder-white-supremacist-attack/

CW: CW: brutal torch, battle, and car ramming footage from Charlottesville 9 years ago
Flashback: Battle of Charlottesville was 9 years ago yesterday
Cville was brutally expensive, but since the Nazis were defeated in their attempt to hold a racist rally with speakers our forces won by definition as the defenders. The effect of this victory however expensive was profound. Up until that time Richard Spencer's suit and tie Nazi alt-right faction seemed to be growing stronger by the week. After that terrifying torch march, the brutal battle, and that DAESH/ISIS style terrorist attack they were forced to retreat in disarray. Spencer's own involvement in public Nazi politics was finished off for good the following spring, when his failed university speaking tour came to a humiliating end in another battle at the University of Michigan.
After Cville, the remnants of American Vanguard (which had included Heather Heyer's murderer James Fields) reorganized into Patriot Front. The collapse of Spencer's hard alt-right opened a vacuum into which the Proud Boys grew into another new and dangerous force. Many former Proud Boys are now ICE agents.
Now for my own experience: I had planned to deploy to Charlottesville but was strongly urged not to go because I was still way too hot from the Deploraball/stink "bomb" fracas of Jan 19 2017. A good friend who was already going shot video in my place and got footage I would not have been able to get as I would not have been able to get that close and still be able to spare one hand from fighting for the camera. About 80% of the video below is that footage.
The following day, still waiting for my friends to return, I was in the DC emergency march from the WWII Memorial to the Albert Pike statue. This foreshadowed the events of three years later when protesters tore it down.
The video below from Cville was delayed until Aug 14th because my cameraman was not back until the evening of the 13th because of the terrorist attack. I got the footage (about 80% of this finished edit) after the march from the WWII Memorial to the Pike Statue. While the footage was copying to my laptop, a drunk driver DROVE ONTO THE SIDEWALK right at us! I yelled "heads up!" but was sitting on my feet and could not move fast. I thought I was toast. The drunk driver went around us and lurched back into the street. That's when I realized he was only a drunk driver.

@kimlockhartga The very same! After #Charlottesville became synonymous with white supremacist terror attacks we moved to the abbreviated version, though some of us may be migrating back now. We’re pretty balkanized these days so it’s hard to know

From Charlottesville to San Diego
While Trump smears anti-fascism as “terrorism,” fascists are murdering people in the streets.
http://crimethinc.com/SanDiego2026
The shooting in San Diego is not just another episode of gun violence. It is part of the joint terror campaign that the Trump administration and its supporters are waging against us from both within the state and outside it.

Busy day! First the Piedmont Master Gardener’s Plant Sale.
Then hours on the new electric loader, moving mulch and logs and filling holes dug days ago with it. Put some potatoes and a few of the newly purchased plants in the ground. -
Master Gardener sale at Albemarle Square today. #charlottesville #MasterGardenerSale #gardening

#CentralVA #gardening enthusiasts: what else should I look for at today’s native plant sale to put in a deer infested area? Mountain Mint is on the list.
I’m well aware of typical cultivars that deer hate. Interested in ones that I may not know that are native. Bonus if they’re drought resistant.

Gov Abigail Spanberger is making Nazis cry in #Virginia! Remember that the "Unite the Right" rally in #Charlottesville happened because the city was getting rid of Confederate monuments. Nazis really get in their feels about their ahistorical "history."
We are *still* dealing with the Confederacy's legacy of cruelty, racism and failure. That history never should have been romanticized, let alone at state expense.

This pair of bookends lived in my car for so long but I could never coordinate to deliver/meetup with someone in Cville to give to them. A very important person to so many of us, as they documented 2017 etc stuff. Now these nice dogs are on my mantel. #charlottesville

I see a lot of anxiety about nuclear war on the timeline. As a child of the Cold War I find this very familiar. I don't know if it helps you, but here is a fictional account of how that would go here in only slightly radioactive Charlottesville https://www.nps.gov/articles/charlottesville-1979.htm #cville #Charlottesville #NuclearWar #disaster

'An [ICE] official who resigned this month from his job instructing new recruits came forward on Monday as a whistle-blower, describing what he said was a “deficient, defective and broken” training program... even in the final days of training, the cadets cannot demonstrate a solid grasp of the tactics or the law required to perform their jobs.'
