Paul Ryan and the GOP's New "Dog Whistle Politics"
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11204-paul-ryan-and-the-gops-new-dog-whistle-politics
Joan Walsh, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: "The GOP's new dog-whistle politics, trashing white people in coded language once reserved for blacks, opens new opportunities for Democrats - if they can help those white people translate the new GOP rhetoric ... Yet today, many white folks who are voting Republican don't seem to know one important detail: they are, in fact, the 'takers.'"
Federal Court Finds Texas' Redistricting Plan Violates Voting Rights Act
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11216-federal-court-finds-texas-redistricting-plan-violates-voting-rights-act
Aviva Shen, ThinkProgress: "A panel of three federal judges has ruled that Texas' redistricting plan violates the Voting Rights Act.... D.C. Circuit Judge and George W. Bush appointee Thomas Griffith wrote the opinion, finding that all 3 redistricting plans dilute minority voting power by carving up minority-heavy congressional districts."
Chicago Teachers Union to File Ten-Day Strike Notice, Say Reports
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11222-chicago-teachers-union-to-file-ten-day-strike-notice-say-reports
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is expected to file a ten-day strike notice on Wednesday, say media reports, meaning that the union could call a strike as early as September 10.... As one of the biggest teachers unions in the country, the CTU's decision to face down the push led by Mayor Rahm Emanuel for more charter schools and longer school days is widely seen as a fight that could re-energize US labor much the same way the Wisconsin protests did in February 2011."
In Montreal's Streets, the Movement Continues
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11206-in-montreals-streets-the-movement-continues
Ethan Cox, Rabble: "If there was any confusion over whether the suspension of strikes at most schools signaled an end to the broader social movement the strike generated, it was put to bed with an emphatic bang Wednesday in the streets of Montreal. The largest demonstration since the spring sent a strong message that this movement is here to stay."
Post-Katrina Reforms in New Orleans Continue to Disenfranchise African-Americans, Poor
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11192-reform-and-its-discontents
Jordan Flaherty, Truthout: "Seven years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has become a laboratory for government reforms. But the processes through which those experiments have been carried out have rarely been transparent or democratic, and they have often been divisive, pitting new residents against those who grew up here, rich against poor, and white against black."
Why Are We Turning Our Backs on the Constitution?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11160-why-are-we-turning-our-backs-on-the-constitution
Jenny Carroll, Truthout: "Of all the losses that I can never hope to measure since the morning of September 11, of all the ways the world has truly changed, perhaps it is the loss of the very constitutional protections that made me want to be a lawyer in the first place that scares me the most."
The Hologram: Financial Speculation and Casino Capitalism
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11205-the-hologram-financial-speculation-and-casino-capitalism
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "Dave Eggers' gem of a book, 'A Hologram for the King,' is a parable about the decadence, fragility and heartlessness of late, decayed corporate capitalism. It is about the small, largely colorless men and women who serve as managers in our suicidal outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and the methodical breaking of labor unions. It is about the lie of globalization, a lie that impoverishes us all to increase corporate profits."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Higher Education Was an All but Absent Topic the First Day of the RNC, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11229-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-higher-education-was-an-all-but-absent-topic-the-first-day-of-the-rnc-and-more
In today's On the News segment: On the first day of the RNC, there was very little talk about how our nation can send more kids to college; corporations can force their employees to campaign for politicians whether they like it or not; corporations are fleeing America at a blistering rate; and more.
Mitt Romney's Tax Mysteries: A Reading Guide
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11219-mitt-romneys-tax-mysteries-a-reading-guide
Cora Currier, ProPublica: "In a primary debate in January, Romney said he'd paid 'all the taxes that are legally required and not a dollar more.' So what do we know about how he avoided that extra dollar?"
Obamacopters Give West Papuans Another Reason to Worry
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11169-obamacopters-give-west-papuans-another-reason-to-worry
Philip Jacobson, Truthout: "There has been talk of an arms deal between the United States and Indonesia.... For American officials, the presumable cause for concern is the political fallout that could arise from permitting this kind of exchange with Indonesia, as its military is infamous for atrocities committed against the country's own people."
Seven Blockaders Arrested in Livingston Lockdown
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11215-seven-blockaders-arrested-in-livingston-lockdown
Candice Bernd, Truthout: "Tar Sands Blockade activists halted Keystone XL construction for a full day after locking themselves to a pipeline truck in Livingston, Texas.... With help from TransCanada workers themselves, these people were able to shut down operations at the Livingston pipe yard and cut off the transportation of pipes to construction sites across the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline after police were forced to dismantle the truck to make arrests."
Richard Wolff's Economic Update: "Democracy at Work"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11187-economic-update-democracy-at-work
Richard D. Wolff, Economic Update/Truthout: "Updates on European crisis (creative Spanish anti-austerity politics, Mondragon avoids worst of crisis, suicides in response to crisis), Chilean students' strike against privatized education as bad education. Interview with Jen Hill, co-founder of new social movement Democracy at Work - democracyatwork.info - explains nature and goals of economic transition to worker self-directed enterprises (WSDEs). Question answered on dominant US ideology that blames economic problems on the government."

It is about the small, largely colorless men and women who serve as managers in our suicidal outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and the methodical breaking of labor unions. It is about the lie of globalization, a lie that impoverishes us all to increase corporate profits."</p>
