Hurricane Harvey continues to wreak havoc even as the storm has died – we take a look at the capitalist machine that not only worsens storms but orchestrates the aftermath – letting history be our guide.

Next up, today's legalized slavery ironically couched in the abolishing slavery amendment and finally, Antonio Buehler from Peaceful Streets Project talks about ending police abuse and restoring rights by protecting and serving each other.

This coming week, solidarity actions are planned to bring attention to unlawful arrests, harassment and even sexual assault at the hands of the injustice system.

Next up, disabled activists rarely make the front page but their fight for our healthcare is a continuation of decades of work, and something we all need to take note of and lend our voices – and bodies to.

And finally, the Mariner East 2 pipeline and the community of tree dwellers at Camp White Pine standing – and sitting in its path.
