http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14308-silver-linings-in-the-2012-union-membership-figures
John Logan, Truthout: Union membership declined in 2012, and in spite of many inspiring and creative labor initiatives, there is every reason to think 2013 will be an extraordinarily difficult year for labor, past time to have an active political ally in the White House.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14375-evolution-revolution-and-the-us-senate-confirmation-of-lt-general-robert-l-caslen

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14390-postal-service-to-end-delivery-of-letters-on-saturdays

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14391-the-mali-blowback-more-to-come

Remanding Migrants "To the End of the Line"
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14358-remanding-migrants-to-the-end-of-the-line
Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, Truthout: Remanding human beings to the end of the line is an even bigger step backward and incongruous with treating migrants as full human beings. Yet, the primary issue here is not about specifics or details regarding the immigration proposals, but rather a mind-set or narrative.
