The US Could End Saudi War Crimes in Yemen - It Just Doesn't Want To
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33244-the-us-could-end-saudi-war-crimes-in-yemen-it-just-doesn-t-want-to
Gareth Porter, Truthout: The Saudi-led coalition is guilty of war crimes in Yemen, according to Amnesty International, and the US bears legal responsibility for these crimes because it provided the weapons used to commit them. But despite its tremendous leverage over the Saudis, the Obama administration has been unwilling to force an end to the war.
Capitalism and Its Regulation Delusion: Lessons From the Volkswagen Debacle
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33250-capitalism-and-its-regulation-delusion-lessons-from-the-volkswagen-debacle
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: As long as profit and competition are the global economic system's primary drivers, corporations will continue to find ways to evade government regulation. Volkswagen's skirting of pollution control regulations is just the latest example, and it won't be the last under a capitalist system.
Teachers' Resistance in Oaxaca Offers Lessons for US Activism
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33245-teachers-resistance-in-oaxaca-offers-lessons-for-us-activism
Lois Meyer and Ricardo Rosa, Truthout: In Oaxaca, Mexico, teachers protesting federal educations "reforms" have gone on strike, seized buildings and closed highways.

Anderson Cooper: Opposing Illegal CIA Wars Is "Unelectable"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33248-anderson-cooper-opposing-illegal-cia-wars-is-unelectable
Robert Naiman, Truthout: It's only in the pro-war, pro-empire bubble of big US media that having opposed the illegal CIA war on Nicaragua could be portrayed as an electoral liability without any evidence. The big media use of the term "electability" is a convenient carrier for pro-war prejudice.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33247-president-obama-won-t-withdraw-all-us-troops-from-afghanistan
W.J. Hennigan and Christi Parsons, Los Angeles Times: Under pressure at home and abroad, President Obama has decided to leave a large troop presence in Afghanistan past the end of his administration, abandoning his often-stated pledge to end the United States' longest war before he leaves office.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33254-whistleblower-leaks-trove-of-documents-on-drones-and-obama-s-assassination-program
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Newly leaked government documents have provided an unprecedented window into the secret US drone assassination program across the globe.

How Governments Are Helping Big Companies Pay Less Tax
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33252-how-governments-are-helping-big-companies-pay-less-tax
Gary Fooks and Kevin Farnsworth, The Conversation: There is nothing surprising about the fact that corporations should seek to minimize their tax bill. What is more surprising and worrying is the extent of the problem and the fact that governments also appear to be colluding in the practice.
Remembering Domestic Workers Who Empowered Themselves Against White Exploitation
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/33246-remembering-domestic-workers-who-empowered-themselves-against-white-exploitation
Premilla Nadasen, Beacon Press: Although over one-third of employed Black women in the United States labored as domestics in 1960, household workers are oddly invisible in histories of postwar social movements. Rarely do we see such workers as agents of history.
Can Nations Reach a Strong Agreement on Climate at COP 21?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33251-can-nations-reach-a-strong-agreement-at-cop-21
Fiona Harvey, Ensia: With less than two months until the UN climate talks in Paris convene, major issues remain unresolved. Whether they can be settled in the short time available will determine whether Paris is a success - and whether the world can measure up to the major tasks ahead.
Chicago Workers Thrive Three Years After Taking Over a Window Factory
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33249-chicago-workers-thrive-three-years-after-taking-over-a-window-factory
Sarah van Gelder, YES! Magazine: When Republic Windows and Doors closed down without giving workers notice, the issue drew national attention. Since then, they've turned the factory into a worker-owned co-op - where they hold the power and their ideas matter.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33253-chronic-disease-linked-to-poverty-affects-deaths-behind-bars
