llo-gathers-messages-of-solidarity
Tom Morello, Truthout: "Tom Morello played a concert in Madison, Wisconsin,=

California Gay Marriage Case Headed to US Supreme Court
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9612-california-gay-marriage-case-headed-to-=
us-supreme-court
Maura Dolan, The Los Angeles Times: "The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals'=
decision to deny an appeal of February's ruling against Proposition 8 pave=
s the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision on gay marriage by next year. T=
he decision means the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to have two major gay-ri=
ghts cases on its docket in the near future. Another federal appeals court =
last week struck down a federal law that denied federal recognition to same=
-sex marriage."
Confidant Contradicts Walker, Claims Governor Is Not Cooperating With Corru=
ption Investigation
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9591-confidant-contradicts-walker-claims-gov=
ernor-is-not-cooperating-with-corruption-investigation
Annie-Rose Strasser, ThinkProgress: "Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has be=
en guarded, to say the least, about a corruption investigation going on in =
Wisconsin of which he may or may not be a part. He has transferred money fr=
om his campaign into his legal defense fund, but simultaneously insists tha=
t he has no need - as of yet=E2=80=93 for that fund."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Seeks to Cut Marijuana Penalty
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9592-new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-seeks-to=

Michael Muskal, The Los Angeles Times: "New York will join more than a doze=
n states in decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana displayed in public =
if the state Legislature approves a proposal made Monday by Gov. Andrew Cuo=
mo."
Activists Call for Firing of Federal Housing Finance Agency Head Over Role =
in Foreclosure Crisis

es-action-calls-for-the-resignation-of-federal-housing-finance-agency-head-=
ed-demarco
Jordan Estevao, Truthout: "During the week of May 20, 1,000 families facing=
foreclosure, clergy and community leaders from across the country did what=
President Obama should have done months ago: deliver a pink slip to Ed DeM=
arco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). They tr=
aveled to Washington, DC, boarded buses and flooded the lobby of the FHFA t=
o fire the man who is single-handedly prolonging the foreclosure crisis and=
standing in the way of economic recovery."=20
Norman Solomon Fights for Primary Win in California
http://truth-out.org/video/item/9602-norman-solomon-fights-for-primary-win-=
in-california
Paul Jay, The Real News: "One of the interesting features of this primary s=
eason as the US heads towards its elections in November is a phenomenon of =
independent progressive Democrats running within the Democratic Party, some=
of whom are mostly critical of the Obama administration but nevertheless a=
re running for a seat in the House on behalf of the Democratic Party. One o=
f those races is in California just above San Francisco, where Norman Solom=
on is running. And his race is drawing a lot of national attention."
Michael Winship | On Climate Change, Money Trumps Common Sense
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9594-on-climate-change-money-trumps-commo=
n-sense
Michael Winship, Moyers & Co.: "These days, it seems as if there's not a fa=
ct that can't be ignored, rejected or altered if you throw enough cash at i=
t. Last week, the Associated Press reported 'a troubling new milestone.' In=
the Arctic, levels of the heat-trapping gas, carbon dioxide, a key factor =
in global warming, have hit 400 parts per million, a level scientists belie=
ve has not been reached in at least 800,000 years."
A Mexican Spring Begins to Blossom
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9598-a-mexican-spring-begins-to-blossom
Marta Molina, Waging Nonviolence: "In Mexico City's daily life - in the sho=
ps, taxicabs, cafes and lines waiting for the bus - one could hear conversa=
tions between people of all ages saying that Enrique Pena Nieto would, with=
out a doubt, win the presidential elections. 'Either something huge will ha=
ppen,' a taxi driver told me, 'or he will win.' And when people referred to=
'something huge happening,' they were referring to violence, or some unbea=
rable crisis."
Praying at the Church of St. Drone: The President and His Apostles
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9608-praying-at-the-church-of-st-drone-the-p=
resident-and-his-apostles
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: "Be assured of one thing: whichever candidate =
you choose at the polls in November, you aren't just electing a president o=
f the United States; you are also electing an assassin-in-chief. The last t=
wo presidents may not have been emperors or kings, but they - and the vast =
national-security structure that continues to be built-up and institutional=
ized around the presidential self - are certainly one of the nightmares the=
founding fathers of this country warned us against. They are one of the re=
asons those founders put significant war powers in the hands of Congress, w=
hich they knew would be a slow, recalcitrant, deliberative body."
