William Rivers Pitt | I Will Occupy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11573-i-will-occupy
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "History will remember Occupy as having offered one last, best chance to be more than we are, to see the beast for what it is and to slay it once and for all. But Occupy is over, right? That is what they would like you to believe in the board rooms, and in the newsrooms that do their bidding."
Chicago Teachers Continue Strike; Emanuel Injunction Denied
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11572-chicago-teachers-continue-strike-emanuel-to-push-for-injunction
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "The battle between Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) escalated sharply Sunday evening when only hours after the Chicago Teachers Union House of Delegates voted to continue the strike, Emanuel announced that he would be seeking an injunction against the strike. But come Monday morning, the judge said that he would prefer to schedule a hearing on the injunction for Wednesday or Thursday - after the union delegates meet again to discuss the contract on Tuesday."
Quo Vadis Occupy: Mic Check on the State of the Revolution
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11586-quo-vadis-occupy-mic-check-on-the-state-of-the-revolution
J.A. Myerson, Truthout: From its early exuberance and success through police suppression, Occupy at one year is graduating thousands of activists and hundreds of new social movements.
Administration Asks Appeals Court for Stay on Indefinite Detention Ban, Triggers Constitutional Showdown
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11581-administration-asks-appeals-court-for-stay-on-indefinite-detention-ban-triggers-constitutional-showdown
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "'This may be the most significant constitutional standoff since the Pentagon Papers case,' said Carl Mayer, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs."
Dean Baker | Does President Obama Want to Cut Social Security by 3 Percent?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11578-does-president-obama-want-to-cut-social-security-by-3-percent
Dean Baker, Truthout: "In principle, this would be exactly the sort of issue where we would expect reporters to be grilling President Obama and his staff. After all, while President Obama has been proclaiming his support for the Bowles-Simpson plan, his vice president has been assuring the public that Social Security will not be touched in a second Obama administration."
Rebecca Solnit | Occupy Your Victories: Occupy Wall Street's First Anniversary
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11584-occupy-your-victories-occupy-wall-streets-first-anniversary
Rebecca Solnit, TomDispatch: "But don't get bogged down in the tangible achievements, except as a foundation. The less tangible spirit of Occupy and the new associations it sparked are what matters for whatever comes next.... Bonds were formed across the usual divides of age and race and class, between the housed and the homeless, as well as the employed and jobless, and some of those bonds still exist."
Why Romney and Ryan Are Going Down
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11579-why-romney-and-ryan-are-going-down
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Because Republicans are failing the central test of electability. Instead of putting together the largest possible coalition of voters, they're relying largely on one slice of America - middle-aged white men - and alienating just about everyone else."
Striking Neoliberalism in Chicago
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11590-striking-neoliberalism-in-chicago
Paul Street, ZCommunications: "Under a new assessment system that strongly ties teacher evaluations to student test scores, the city is threatening to put 'as many as one-third of Chicago's teachers on track for termination....' A big problem with this method of measurement is that teachers have no control over what serious researchers have long shown to be the primary determinant of students' performance on such tests - those students' home and neighborhood environments and socioeconomic (class) status."
Could Pennsylvania Voter ID Law Help Romney Win Race? Up to One Million Voters Face Disenfranchisement
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11587-could-pennsylvania-voter-id-law-help-romney-win-race-up-to-1-million-voters-face-disenfranchisement
Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "With less than two months to go before the November election, we look at a new voter ID law in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Studies have shown as many as one million eligible voters in the state do not have an acceptable identification under the new law, which requires all voters to show a state driver's license, government employee ID or a non-driver ID card issued by the state."
Investigative Journalist Craig Unger on the Continuing Power of Karl Rove
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11588-investigative-journalist-craig-unger-on-the-continuing-power-of-karl-rove
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Company: "You could see him at the Republican National Convention, backslapping and glad-handing plutocrats and politicos. He told a private breakfast meeting during the convention that the super PAC he helped create, American Crossroads, plans to spend $200 million on the presidential race and another $100 million on this year's Senate and House campaigns."
