Political Frauds and the Ghost of Totalitarianism
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32800-political-frauds-and-the-ghost-of-totalitarianism
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: A resurrection of historical memory in this moment could provide important lessons regarding the present crisis in US politics. Calling Donald Trump a fascist is not enough. We must show the seeds of totalitarianism in his discourse and policy measures.
President Obama's Gravest Error: Trusting Shell to Drill in the Arctic
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32810-president-obama-s-gravest-error-trusting-shell-to-drill-in-the-arctic
Bianca Jagger, Truthout: President Obama must know that it is impossible to protect the Arctic and address climate change while allowing Shell to drill for oil 70 miles off the coast of Alaska. He cannot have it both ways. His policies and proclamations are irreconcilable.
Oil Spill Funds Race to Catch Up to Rise in Rail Transportation
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32788-oil-spill-funds-race-to-catch-up-to-rise-in-rail-transportation
Gloria Dickie, High Country News: The oil spill response and prevention programs that originally sprung up around marine tanker traffic are struggling to keep pace with the shift in transportation, with some states lacking any prevention funds whatsoever.
Battle Over Flaming Water and Fracking Reignites as Analysis Prompts Call for Renewed EPA Investigation
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32789-battle-over-flaming-water-and-fracking-reignites-as-analysis-prompts-call-for-renewed-epa-investigation
Sharon Kelly, DeSmogBlog: At the heart of the fracking controversy is the contention that it contaminates drinking water. Advocates say the EPA may have abandoned a fracking investigation in exchange for empty promises from a company that pledged to do its own follow-up studies.
For Immigrants - and All of Us - a Time to Fight
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32790-for-immigrants-and-all-of-us-a-time-to-fight
Bernard A. Weisberger, Moyers & Company: Our works of history celebrate the United States' role as a land of asylum and opportunity for people from almost everywhere on the globe. But they often overlook or minimize the contrasting truth that there was always stiff resistance to that hospitality.
Koch PR Games: College Football Brought to You by Koch Industries
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32793-koch-pr-games-college-football-brought-to-you-by-koch-industries
Nick Surgey, PR Watch: Twelve Koch-backed college football games this season will feature Koch signage, a Koch video board and Koch-branded giveaways. This is not the first time the Koch brothers have taken aim at colleges.
Civilian Boards in Newark Could Now Have the Power to Discipline Officers
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32803-civilian-boards-in-newark-could-now-have-the-power-to-discipline-officers
Daniel Ross, YES! Magazine: More than 200 cities have civilian boards that recommend consequences for police who break the rules. Most boards lack enforcement power, but Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka is trying to change that.
How Cities Can Join the Fight Against Wage Theft
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32794-how-cities-can-join-the-fight-against-wage-theft
Hector Guzman Lopez and Erika Galindo, Equal Voice News: Wage theft is a rampant problem in many cities. Fortunately, there are realistic ways to combat it, including municipal ordinances and enforcement of the penal code to help workers receive money they are rightfully owed.
What's Going On With the TPP?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32797-what-s-going-on-with-the-tpp
Maira Sutton, Electronic Frontier Foundation: Since the failure to conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal at a meeting in Hawai'i over the summer, the Office of the US Trade Representative has held several closed-door meetings between high-level officials to finalize the agreement.
Free Speech Doesn't Kill People
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32798-free-speech-doesn-t-kill-people
Chip Gibbons, Defending Dissent: Critics of the Black Lives Matter movement aren't focused on lowering crime rates or officer safety; they're focused on shutting down a powerful social movement and repressing dissent. Unlike police brutality, however, free speech doesn't kill people.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: We Are Running Out of Time to Save Our Oceans, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32796-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-we-are-running-out-of-time-to-save-our-oceans-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Our oceans are in a dire state, and we don't have much time left to prevent more widespread destruction; the 62-year-old oil pipelines that run beneath the Great Lakes could cause a massive oil spill in one of our nation's most important water sources; scientists discovered a never-before-known extinct human species; and more.
