STOP, LOOK, LISTEN! by Kathy Sherretts

What to watch for...
• It's been one year since the violence in Charlottesville, VA; to mark the anniversary, this year's "Unite the Right 2" rallied in front of the White House, where they perhaps thought they would be among friends.
• Paul Manafort's trial goes into week 3.
• The Boston Globe is calling on editorial boards of newspapers nationwide to write and publish editorials on Aug. 16 denouncing President Donald Trump’s ‘‘dirty war against the free press.’’
• Take the opportunity to weigh in with your senator ahead of Brett Kavenaugh's confirmation hearings, scheduled for early September. Don't let Trump's nominee slide onto the Supreme Court bench without getting a couple splinters in his bum.
There's more, of course, but that's all I have brain space for right now.
