No Justice When Women Fight Back
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11196-no-justice-when-women-fight-back
Victoria Law, Truthout: "What do a nineteen-year-old lesbian from New Jersey, a 23-year-old trans woman in Minneapolis and a 31-year-old mother in Florida have in common? All three were attacked, all three fought back and all three were arrested. All three are currently in prison while their attackers remain free."
Money in Politics: Where Is the Outrage?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11257-money-in-politics-where-is-the-outrage
Bill Moyers and Bernard A. Weisberger, Moyers & Company: "Money rules. And in the foul air democracy chokes and gasps, the middle class falls behind, and the poor sink from sight as political donations determine the course and speech of policies that could make the difference in the lives of ordinary people struggling in a dog-eat-dog world."
Meet the Industry That Makes the Koch Brothers Look Poor
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11266-meet-the-industry-that-makes-the-koch-brothers-look-poor
Robert Greenwald and Jesse Lava, Brave New Foundation: "This nation is now spending over $200 billion a year on a justice system that locks up more people than any country on earth.... This colossal system is hitting our communities with staggering financial and human costs - gobbling resources that should be going to strengthening communities."
Cut the Pentagon Budget, Not Social Security and Veterans' Benefits, Save 380,000 Jobs
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11252-cut-the-pentagon-budget-not-social-security-and-veterans-benefits-save-380000-jobs
Robert Naiman, Truthout: "A December 2011 paper by Robert Pollin and Heidi Garrett-Peltier showed that domestic spending creates more jobs than military spending ... Cutting $145 billion from the Pentagon budget over ten years instead of changing the way inflation is calculated to cut Social Security and veterans' benefits would save about 380,000 jobs."
Chicago City College Teachers Being Used as "Pawns" Against Teachers Union, Say Teachers
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11268-chicago-city-college-teachers-being-used-as-pawns-against-teachers-union-say-teachers
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "As the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) sets September 10 as the day it will begin its strike, another group of Chicago teachers say they are being unfairly pressured into signing a weak contract, which they argue will make them pawns in the propaganda game against the CTU."
Chatting Up the Right in Tampa
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11258-chatting-up-the-right-in-tampa
Arun Gupta, Truthout: "My mission for the Republican National Convention was to chat up the right.... It's not hard to find outlandish tales here. What's more striking about the right is how cliche it is."
White Racial Anxiety and the Changing Demographic Tide: Legitimate Concern or Illogical Worry?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11180-white-racial-anxiety-and-the-changing-demographic-tide-legitimate-concern-or-illogical-worry
Michael Ortiz, Truthout: "While demographic shifts can be accurately predicted, shifts in consciousness cannot.... The future does not have to be built on a multiracial system of white supremacy; but rather, we can transform that possibility into a multiracial system of equality."
Cannibalistic Capitalism and Green Resistance
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11173-cannibalistic-capitalism-and-green-resistance
Craig Collins Ph.D., Truthout: "Profit-hungry capitalism doesn't die; it morphs into its zombie-like, undead phase.... The word catabolism is used in biology to refer to the condition whereby a living thing feeds on itself. Thus, catabolic capitalism is a self-cannibalizing system whose insatiable hunger for profit can only be fed by consuming the society that sustains it."
The Pacific Free Trade Deal That's Anything but Free
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11256-the-pacific-free-trade-deal-thats-anything-but-free
Dean Baker, The Guardian UK: "The [Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement] is an effort to use the holy grail of free trade to impose conditions and override domestic laws in a way that would be almost impossible if the proposed measures had to go through the normal legislative process. The expectation is that by lining up powerful corporate interests, the governments will be able to ram this new 'free trade' pact through legislatures on a take-it-or-leave-it basis."
Paul Krugman | Paul Ryan's Magic Asterisks
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11177-paul-ryans-magic-asterisks
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "A number of commenters have asked for a summary of what's actually in the Ryan budget plan.... You need to distinguish between the first decade, before the phasing out of Medicare as we know it begins, and after."
How Americans for Prosperity Will Keep Hiding Donors in Shifting Election Landscape, but Retain Tax-Exempt Status
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11262-how-americans-for-prosperity-will-keep-hiding-donors-in-shifting-election-landscape-but-retain-tax-exempt-status
Brendan Fischer, PRWatch: "Even if [David Koch's nonprofit, Americans for Prosperity] and similar groups are engaging in a greater degree of undeniably 'political' activity than in years past ... they will likely find other ways to continue reaping the benefits of tax-exempt status while influencing elections."
Ryan's Diet of Whoppers
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11267-ryans-diet-of-whoppers
Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: "Has there ever been a more dishonest presidential campaign than the one Republicans are waging right now? ... It's hardly unusual for politicians to highlight convenient facts and ignore inconvenient ones. But I honestly can't recall a campaign so firmly grounded in untruth."
