Dahr Jamail | Sixth Great Mass Extinction Event Begins; 2015 on Pace to Become Hottest Year on Record
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31612-sixth-great-mass-extinction-event-begins-2015-on-pace-to-become-hottest-year-on-record
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: A recent study shows that the earth has officially entered its sixth great mass extinction event, with humans being both the cause and a species at risk of annihilation. Other climate reports released this month show mounting evidence that anthropogenic climate disruption has ramped up and is progressing in a rapid, nonlinear fashion.
William Rivers Pitt | Justice Delivered: A Week That Changed a Nation
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31629-justice-delivered-a-week-that-changed-a-nation
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: In a small space of days, this nation's highest court confirmed that everyone can keep their health insurance, tore a large chunk out of the federal "three-strikes" sentencing law, saved the Fair Housing Act, and gifted the people of this nation the freedom to marry.
Dean Baker | The Federal Reserve Board, Jobs and the Rewriting of Economic History
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31624-the-federal-reserve-board-jobs-and-the-rewriting-of-economic-history
Dean Baker, Truthout: As most people know, economists are good at rewriting history. We are witnessing another example of this reinvention of history in the debate over the timing of Federal Reserve Board interest rate hikes. The history of the 1990s should be an important feature in the debate.
Supreme Court Ties EPA's Hands, Forbidding Emissions Rules
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31638-supreme-court-ties-epa-s-hands-forbidding-emissions-rules
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: With 2015 on a trajectory to become the hottest year on record and studies revealing the imminent collapse of Antarctica ice sheets, the Supreme Court has issued an alarming ruling against pollution regulations for power plants.
Interrupting Pride for Black Lives
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31626-interrupting-pride-for-black-lives
Kelly Hayes, Truthout: "On the 46th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, I saw a bottle fly through the air once again, but it was thrown by a reveler at Chicago's Pride Parade, who was apparently unhappy that a Black Lives Matter demonstration had briefly halted the parade."
How Activists Won Reparations for the Survivors of Chicago Police Department Torture
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31621-how-activists-won-reparations-for-the-survivors-of-chicago-police-department-torture
Flint Taylor, In These Times: Given that Friday was the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, it seems like an apt time to reflect on the history of the movement in Chicago, which achieved the passing of historic legislation providing reparations to the survivors of Jon Burge's police torture.
The US and War: Poverty, Drugs, Terror or How to Make War on Everything
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31620-the-us-and-war-poverty-drugs-afghanistan-iraq-terror-or-how-to-make-war-on-everything
William J. Astore, TomDispatch: The biggest mistake in US policy is looking at everything as war. When a war mentality takes over, it chooses the weapons and tactics for you. It limits the terms of debate before you even begin. It answers questions before they're even asked.
Freedom Flotilla III Exposes Anti-Democratic Extremism of the Israeli "Center"
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31635-freedomflotilla-iii-exposes-anti-democratic-extremism-of-the-israeli-center
Robert Naiman, Truthout: The Freedom Flotilla III, sailing to challenge the Gaza blockade, is providing an excellent opportunity to expose the true face of anti-democratic, pro-occupation political actors in international media. Just who are the people that the "centrist" Israeli party leader Yair Lapid called "a gang of terrorism supporters"?
