William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: We are not our brother's keeper, despite all=
the strident oratory that would have us believe this nation actually stand=
s for something beyond bedrock greed, lazy coddled indolence, and bluejeans=
on the cheap. That much, at least, was proven on Tuesday.

=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/27298-is-the-state-of-alaska-fighting-sex-tr=
afficking-or-targeting-women
=20
Jordan Flaherty, Truthout: An anti-sex-trafficking law recently passed in A=
laska demonstrates the failure of the criminal justice system to help victi=
ms of trafficking. In fact, it seems to have made things worse for those mo=
st in need.

est-an-old-man-for-feeding-homeless-people
=20
Aaron Cant=C3=BA, Truthout: On November 2nd, 90-year-old Arnold Abbott and =
two other pastors were charged by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department wit=
h giving food to hungry people. The rationale for Fort Lauderdale's anti-ho=
meless ordinance has everything to do with land and money.

Michael Nevradakis, Truthout: In this interview, Albrecht Ritschl, professo=

Rania Khalek | Drone-Strike Feminism
=20
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/27302-drone-strike-feminism
=20
Rania Khalek, Extra!: Rather than challenge the obvious hypocrisy of the na=
rrative that bombing Iraq is a "feminist rescue mission", US corporate medi=
a outlets have acted as cheerleaders and stenographers, allowing the US gov=
ernment to hijack the deterioration of women's rights as a selling point fo=
r perpetual war.

=20
Laura Flanders, GRITtv: Alaskan lawmakers passed a law against sex traffick=
ing, but who does it really affect? A documentary short from GRITtv capture=
s the struggles of many women fighting against poverty and the Alaskan cold=
by engaging in sex work. Many of these women fear they will now become pol=
ice targets.

isons-are-making-an-american-comeback
=20
Devon Douglas-Bowers, Occupy.com: The debtors' prison is an old, decrepit i=
nstitution that many thought was abolished in the 19th century, little more=
than a relic of the past. These prisons are making a serious comeback in t=
he United States, which is deeply problematic for the poor and working clas=
s.

nd-what-we-should-do-next
=20
Harry Targ, The Rag Blog: Midterm election exit poll figures speak to the n=
ecessary expansion of electoral and "street heat" strategies that prioritiz=
e several issues. Progressives need to continue to combat racism and sexism=
in all its forms. This translates into reversing voter suppression laws an=
d other tactics to stifle voting.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27304-global-tax-evasion-crackdown-sides=
tepping-poorest-countries
=20
Carey L. Biron, Inter Press Service: While a major global campaign to cut d=
own on tax evasion is picking up momentum, anti-poverty advocates say the i=
nitiative overlooks the world's poorest countries. Global tax evasion has r=
isen to the top of the global agenda in the aftermath of the 2007-08 financ=
ial crisis.

Marisa Franco, #Not1More: The success or failure of the Democrats ought to =
