When the Night Erupts in Brilliance
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31712-when-the-night-erupts-in-brilli=
ance
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: While families celebrate the holiday weekend=
, let us not forget that the ecosystem remains under threat, the US "defens=
e" machine continues to manufacture new and unnecessary wars and unarmed Bl=
ack people still die for no reason. Happy Fourth of July, all. Let freedom =
ring.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31658-uncontacted-tribes-don-t-need-t=
he-protection-of-western-anthropologists
Stephen Corry, Truthout: Two hundred years ago, progressives faced a choice=
: accept slavery as inevitable, or actually fight to end it. It's the same =
here: whether consciously to bring uncontacted tribes into the industrializ=
ed world, or whether to help them protect their ancestral land.

Fracking Expands Under the Radar on Mexican Lands
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31665-fracking-expands-under-the-radar-o=
n-mexican-lands
Emilio Godoy, Inter Press Service: Fracking is quietly expanding in Mexico,=

Connecticut Just Passed a Law Requiring Bosses Who Steal Workers' Wages to =
Pay Them Back Double
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31680-connecticut-just-passed-a-law-requ=
iring-bosses-who-steal-workers-wages-to-pay-them-back-double
Ava Tomasula y Garcia, In These Times: The new law is intended to alleviate=
 a number of gaping loopholes that allowed bosses to get away with stealing=
 workers' wages. By making the cost of breaking the law outweigh the cost o=
f following it, business owners will be deterred from committing the crime =
in the first place.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31673-frackquake-madness-35-fracking-ear=
thquakes-rock-oklahoma-in-a-week-regulators-call-event-a-game-changer
Emerson Urry, EnviroNews: Homes have been rattled and damaged to the tune o=

hat some of last month's earthquakes stretched beyond rural oilfield areas =
and into Oklahoma City.

Japan's Proposed National Security Legislation - Will This Be the End of Ar=
ticle 9?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31689-japan-s-proposed-national-security=
-legislation-will-this-be-the-end-of-article-9
Lawrence Repeta, The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan is facing a constitutional=
 crisis. The ruling coalition seeks to pass legislation that would overturn=
 the nation's longstanding prohibition of "collective self-defense." Expert=
 opinion is nearly unanimous that these proposals violate Article 9, the pe=
ace provision of Japan's Constitution.

Obama and the Logic of Massacre, From Birmingham to Charleston
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31686-obama-and-the-logic-of-massacre=
-from-birmingham-to-charleston
Marsha Coleman-Adebayo, Black Agenda Report: The president's goal was to sh=
ock the country by the usage of a word. But Obama cannot escape the message=
 and the environment his administration has created: Acquittals breathe lif=
e into vermin like Dylann Roof.

Indigenous Maracana Community Forges Alliance With Ayotzinapa Caravan
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31685-indiginous-maracana-community-forg=
es-alliance-with-ayotzinapa-caravan
Courtney Parker and John Ahni Schertow, IC Magazine: Similar cultures of st=
ate sponsored disappearances and police impunity are endemic to both Mexico=
 and Brazil. The Caravan is part of an ongoing political uprising that mani=
fested through collective demands for justice and accountability from the M=
exican government over the forced disappearances of the 43 Ayotzinapa stude=
nts last September in Iguala, Mexico.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31687-california-s-drought-is-part-of-a-=
much-bigger-water-crisis-here-s-what-you-need-to-know
Abrahm Lustgarten, Lauren Kirchner and Amanda Zamora, ProPublica: The sever=
e shortages of rain and snowfall have hurt California's $46 billion agricul=
tural industry and helped raise national awareness of the longer-term short=
ages that are affecting the entire Colorado River basin.  But the two probl=
ems are not the same thing.

Assessing the Candidates: Obama's Whistleblower War Leaves Dangerous Legacy=
 for Future Presidents
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31688-assessing-the-candidates-obama-s-w=
histleblower-war-leaves-dangerous-legacy-for-future-presidents
John Hanrahan, ExposeFacts: By failing to rally vigorously to the defense o=
f whistleblowers, congressional Democrats and most of the mainstream press =
have implicitly given the green light for any future president to go after =
as many whistleblowers as he or she deems proper.
