Aiming for Venus: Top GOP Candidates United in Denying Climate Change
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34736-aiming-for-venus-top-gop-candidates-united-in-denying-climate-change
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: None of the four leading Republican presidential candidates believe climate change is human caused, and none have called for any degree of action regarding climate disruption. If a GOP candidate were to become the next president, the prospects for the planet would be bleak.
When Turkeys Fight: The New Hampshire Primary and Beyond
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34743-when-turkeys-fight-the-new-hampshire-primary-and-beyond
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum and Martin O'Malley have come to their nadir by the side of that dusty campaign road. Donald Trump didn't wait 24 hours after Iowa before freaking out. Ben Carson and Jeb Bush are basically done. The rest? Only the Shadow knows.
Why Are Black Girls and Women Dying in Police Custody?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34741-why-are-black-girls-and-women-dying-in-police-custody
Tasasha Henderson, Truthout: Gynna McMillen, a 16-year-old African-American girl who died in a Kentucky juvenile detention facility in January, is one of a growing number of Black women and girls who have died in police custody in the US. We must hold the state accountable for their deaths.
Financial Reform: It's About Improving the Financial System, Not 2008
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34737-financial-reform-it-s-about-improving-the-financial-system-not-2008
Dean Baker, Truthout: The debate on financial reform has taken a bizarre twist. Somehow the measure of a good reform is its ability to prevent another 2008-type crisis. While it is reasonable to subject a reform agenda to the 2008 test, this should be at most a side issue.
Why Is Cornell University Hosting a GMO Propaganda Campaign?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34738-why-is-cornell-university-hosting-a-gmo-propaganda-campaign
Stacy Malkan, The Ecologist: Cornell, one of the world's leading academic institutions, has made itself a global hub for the promotion of genetically modified crops and food. Working with selected journalists and industry-supported academics, Cornell's so-called "Alliance for Science" is an aggressive propaganda tool for corporate biotech and agribusiness.
Trump Leads GOP Charge Embracing Torture: "I'd Bring Back Worse Than Waterboarding"
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34748-trump-leads-gop-charge-embracing-torture-i-d-bring-back-worse-than-waterboarding
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: In the final debate before Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire, Republican presidential contenders battled it out Saturday night at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. In the post-debate coverage, the mainstream media paid little attention to the candidates' embrace of the use of torture.
The 21st Century US Military: Not the "Finest Fighting Force in the History of the World"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34746-shoulda-woulda-coulda-the-us-military-bombs-in-the-21st-century
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: Maybe if we stopped claiming that we were the greatest, most exceptional, most indispensable nation ever and that the US military was the finest fighting force in the history of the world, both we and the world might be better off and modestly more peaceful.
Flint Whistleblowers Who Exposed Their Poisoned Water: We're Just Getting Started
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34745-flint-whistleblowers-who-exposed-their-poisoned-water-we-re-just-getting-started
Larry Gabriel, YES! Magazine: Long before the state declared an emergency in Flint, Michigan, a pastor, a mother and an attorney teamed up to reveal the state's lies about their drinking water. But there is still plenty to be done in Flint.
Only Ten of Scores Killed by US Drones in Pakistan Last Year Have Been Identified
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34744-only-10-of-scores-killed-by-us-drones-in-pakistan-last-year-have-been-identified
Jack Serle, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism: The names of all 10 people identified came from either terrorist propaganda or the US government, with Pakistani officials declining to provide any names of those killed by the CIA for the first time since strikes started. The number of those named in 2015 was particularly low.
How Do We Define Climate Pollution's Cost to Society?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34742-how-do-we-define-climate-pollution-s-cost-to-society
Elizabeth Shogren, High Country News: A Ninth Circuit Court ruling challenged government officials to come up with a dollar amount that represents how much a ton of carbon pollution will "cost" society over the long run. Every year, the government recalculates how much carbon costs.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: The TPP Will Cost the US Nearly Half a Million Jobs, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34750-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-the-tpp-will-cost-the-us-nearly-half-a-million-jobs-and-more
In today's On the News segment: The Trans-Pacific Partnership will cost the US nearly half a million jobs; since Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder continues to fail the people of Flint, union plumbers have been stepping up to help those impacted by lead-tainted water; Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says arbitration clauses are as bad as the infamous Lochner ruling was for workers and consumers; and more.
Mainstream Media Must Leave Abortion Stigma in the Past
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34740-media-must-leave-abortion-stigma-in-the-past
Olivia Kittel, Media Matters: Women's access to reproductive health care is as much in jeopardy as ever, as anti-choice activists and their GOP accomplices in Congress are rapidly chipping away at that right, emboldened by the echo chamber in which media figures perpetuate abortion stigma.
Counternarcotics US Military Aid to Colombia Has Been a Nightmare for Women
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34739-plan-colombia-has-been-a-nightmare-for-women
Kimberley Brown, teleSUR: Plan Colombia is a counternarcotics and counterinsurgency military aid package launched in 2000 by then-US President Bill Clinton. According to a joint survey done by women's rights organizations, six women were raped every hour in Colombia during the first nine years of Plan Colombia.
