‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR AUGUST 14, 2026: Part 2: DC Resists Trump’s Police and Military Occupation… Is the Nolan Wells Case Emmett Till 2.0? ….Plus Headlines
Friday, 14 August, 2026
On this show, part two of our coverage of DC marking one year of Trump’s occupation, with armed national guard and police from up to two dozen federal agencies in our neighborhoods. The result is several federal police-involved shootings and deaths, a crackdown on Black and Brown youth, immigrants and the unhoused. But DC is not just recounting these attacks, it is determined to keep fighting back. Also, on this show: are we in a new Emmett Till moment? Gerald Horne comments on the unsolved death of Mississippi teen Nolan Wells, and discusses the chaos in Iran, Gaza, Ukraine and Cuba. Plus headlines Iran, Gaza, Nolan Wells, U.S. elections, and more. The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.
