August 17, 2016: Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” is a loosely-organized, wide amalgamation of leftist activists whose expressed purpose is to stand up against white supremacy and Nazism. Peter Beinart, a contributing editor for The Atlantic, provides a short history of the movement, and what role it may have had in Charlottesville. Plus, a look at President Trump's now-defunct business council; violence in Indonesia; tragedy in Sierra Leone; a new Department of Labor lawsuit; and a conversation with Britt Daniel, the frontman for the indie rock band Spoon.
