Can a Paradise Be Built in Hell?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14129-can-a-paradise-be-built-in-hell
Rebecca Solnit, Viking Books: Rebecca Solnit has no patience for those who are paralyzed by despair and helplessness in an age of doubt about the human condition and the sociological/political situation in the United States. To be passive in the face of disappointment is to ensure that injustice prevails.
Occupy Everyone: Making Revolutionaries, Not a Revolution
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14095-occupy-everyone-making-revolutionaries-not-a-revolution
Zachary Bell, Truthout: If the dynamic of a diverse safe space in which people dismantle oppressions through conflict resolution is at the root of Occupy's transformative potential, then perhaps there's not a distinct formula that can be reproduced, but simply spread - a culture - that people can choose to adopt.
Seventy Years of Nuclear Fission, Thousands of Centuries of Nuclear Waste
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14065-seventy-years-of-nuclear-fission-thousands-of-centuries-of-nuclear-waste
Gregg Levine, Truthout: The lesson of the first 70 years of fission is that we cannot endure more of the same. The government - from the DOE to the NRC - should re-orient its priorities away from creating more nuclear waste, to safely and securely containing what is now here.
The Right's Attack on Roe v. Wade at 40: The Hyde and Helms Legacy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14127-the-rights-attack-on-roe-at-40-the-hyde-and-helms-legacy
Malika Redmond, Truthout: Those who celebrate the enduring legacy of Roe v. Wade must also be mindful of the barriers to reproductive autonomy that remain.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14103-protecting-press-freedom-from-the-market-uk-press-after-the-leveson-report
Simon Dawes, Truthout: There's a lot of talk about the freedom of the press at the moment, and the UK parliament seems to be considering putting the obligation upon itself to protect that freedom - against the wishes of the majority of the press.
Finally, the Republicans Are Afraid
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14139-finally-the-republicans-are-afraid
Robert Parry, Consortium News: House Speaker John Boehner warned his fellow Republicans that President Obama may be preparing "to annihilate" the GOP, surely an overly dramatic claim but one that marks a stunning reversal of fortune for swaggering Republicans who once dreamt of their own one-party state.
Robert Reich | The Myth of Living Beyond Our Means
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14140-the-myth-of-living-beyond-our-means
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: In coming weeks you'll hear there's no serious alternative to cutting the social safety net. But most of the people who are making this argument are very wealthy or are sponsored by the very wealthy.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14136-five-days-before-latest-college-shooting-texas-legislator-introduced-alec-nra-bill-to-allow-guns-on-campus
Brendan Fischer, PR Watch: Just days before three people were shot in an altercation on a college campus in Texas, 14 Texas state senators co-sponsored an ALEC-modeled, NRA-backed bill to prohibit colleges from restricting concealed handguns on campuses.
How the NRA Undermined Congress' Last Push for Gun Control
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14137-how-the-nra-undermined-congress-last-push-for-gun-control
Joaquin Sapien, ProPublica: The NRA has already begun to lobby on Capitol Hill to counter the Obama administration's sweeping proposals on gun control. To get a sense of what the NRA might do, look at how it scored a victory during the last major federal initiative to tighten gun control.
