William Rivers Pitt | To My Mother
http://www.truth-out.org/my-mother/1329443930
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "What has been happening in American politic=
s of late is entirely familiar, but I have never experienced such a barrage=
of unrestrained hatred, filth and nonsense to compare with this. It's as i=
f The Bastards took 100 years worth of anti-woman sentiment, condensed it i=
nto a dense nugget of hate-crack, and hit the pipe=E2=80=A6. Now is the tim=
e to rise up, point at this mess, and say in a voice too loud to ignore, 'T=
his is why these people are not to be trusted with power. This is why they =
must go.'"
In Maryland, House Passes Gay Marriage Bill
http://www.truth-out.org/maryland-house-passes-gay-marriage-bill/1329584388
Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times News Service: "The Maryland House nar=
rowly passed a law legalizing same-sex marriage on Friday, delivering a maj=
or victory to Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, who had proposed it. But it=
s implementation remained uncertain as its opponents promised to take it to=
voters in November=E2=80=A6. The bill's passage would make Maryland the ei=
ghth state to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. It comes a day after =
New Jersey's legislature passed a similar bill, though it was vetoed on Fri=
day by Gov. Chris Christie."
US House OKs Opening Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to Oil Drilling
http://www.truth-out.org/us-house-oks-opening-arctic-national-wildlife-refu=
ge-oil-drilling/1329585494
Lisa Demer and Richard Mauer, McClatchy Newspapers: "The U.S. House once ag=
ain passed a bill to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilli=
ng, voting 237-187 Thursday on a measure expected to die in the Senate=E2=
=80=A6. In addition to ANWR drilling, the bill would also open offshore dri=
lling in the Atlantic and Pacific and force the approval of TransCanada's c=
ontroversial Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas. All those provision=
s have strong opposition among the Democrats who control the Senate."
Media May Give Hamas Extreme Makeover
http://www.truth-out.org/media-may-give-hamas-extreme-makeover/1329333787
Ira Chernus, Truthout: "Hamas may be headed for an extreme makeover in the =
corporate mass media. Yes, Hamas, the 'terrorist' Palestinian party suppose=
dly sworn to the destruction of Israel. At least, that's what you'd believe=
if you get all your news from America's mass media, where virtually every =
article about Hamas has included that ominous description as if it were ind=
isputable fact. To keep up the fiction, real facts had to be ignored ... Fo=
r years, Hamas has been offering Israel a ten-year truce, and peace negotia=
tions during that truce."
All Politics Aren't Local: Florida GOP Wants to Block Local Government from=
Enforcing Wage and Hour Laws
http://www.truth-out.org/all-politics-aren%E2%80%99t-local-florida-gop-want=
s-block-local-government-enforcing-wage-and-hour-laws/1329
Mike Elk, In These Times: "In a break from conservatives' typical interest =
in devolving power to local governments, Florida State Republicans are push=
ing a bill that would forbid local municipalities from enforcing wage and h=
our laws. This is because in November 2010, South Florida Interfaith Worker=
Justice and a number of other groups successfully advocated for the Miami-=
Dade County Wage Theft Ordinance, considered by many to be a model wage the=
ft law for the rest of the country."
Eastern Europe's Conservative Crackdown on Reproductive Freedom
http://www.truth-out.org/eastern-europes-conservative-crackdown-reproductiv=
e-freedom/1329577934
Jake Blumgart, Toward Freedom: "Across Eastern and Central Europe, as unemp=
loyment surges and the European Union dithers, nationalist conservative and=
far right parties are on the march. Emboldened right-wing leaders are resu=
rrecting debates around abortion and other reproductive services, even in c=
ountries like Hungary, one of the first European countries to explicitly le=
galize abortion."
Honduras: Our Continuing Catastrophe
http://www.truth-out.org/honduras-our-continuing-catastrophe/1329578808
Mark Engler, Dissent Magazine: "Honduras has become a human rights disaster=
. The country now has the world's highest murder rate. And impunity for pol=
itical violence is the norm. For all this, the United States deserves a goo=
d deal of the blame=E2=80=A6. Lest anyone in this country think that things=
in Honduras have settled into a peaceable, post-coup normality, [due to a]=
chain of events - a coup that the United States didn't stop, a fraudulent =
election that it accepted - [that] has now allowed corruption to mushroom."
Florida Lawmakers Defeat Prison Privatization Amid National Push for For-Pr=
ofit Jails (Video)
http://www.truth-out.org/florida-lawmakers-defeat-prison-privatization-amid=
-national-push-profit-jails/1329581083
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: "The Florida State Senate ha=
s defeated a measure to privatize at least 27 prisons, which would have cre=
ated the largest corporate-run prison system in the country. Despite the vo=
te, Republican Gov. Rick Scott could still privatize the prisons through ex=
ecutive authority. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the number =
of prisoners being added to privately run jails is outpacing the overall pr=
ison population by 17 percent compared to 4 percent."
Modern-Day Army Deserters Can't Count on Canada
http://www.truth-out.org/canada-not-sanctuary-army-deserters-it-used-be/132=
9406168
Robert Wilbur, Truthout: "Military resisters have two choices: seek conscie=
ntious objector (CO) status, or flee to Canada=E2=80=A6. There is the fate =
of service people who are denied CO status and who face a second, third or =
fourth deployment - with the possibility of having their legs blown off by =
an improvised explosive device or a bullet hole courtesy of our allies in t=
he Afghan Army, whom we are training in weaponry. If you don't want to give=
up your legs or your life, you may determine your only choice is Canada."
Russia's Winter of Discontent
http://www.truth-out.org/russias-winter-discontent/1329583801
Adam Federman, Waging Nonviolence: "Russia's increasingly diverse oppositio=
n movement =E2=80=A6 the longevity of the movement, and its ability to weat=
her the strength and pressure of the state, has been doubted from the momen=
t it emerged. Once the novelty of the protests had worn off, the reasoning =
went, the apolitical post-Soviet generation would go back to their cubicles=
, Putin and the Kremlin elite could get back to the business of running the=
country, and the Russian winter would be forgotten. But of course that has=
n't happened."
A Story and a Book: On the Nature of Violence and Nonviolence
http://www.truth-out.org/story-and-book-nature-violence-and-nonviolence/132=
9583441
Matt Meyer, New Clear Vision: "Amidst a bombardment of Black Bloc commentar=
y, questions about the militarized nature of tear-gas toting police, and th=
e ever-frustrating all-too-abstract dialogues about the meanings of nonviol=
ence, violence, strategy, tactics, and principles, comes a simple story (an=
d a complicated book) straight out of Occu-politics."
