Is the Supreme Court Going to Settle for "States' Rights" on Same-Sex Marriage?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15533-is-the-supreme-court-going-to-settle-for-states-rights-on-same-sex-marriage
Peter Dreier, Truthout: A number of options are available to the US Supreme Court in its review of two same-sex marriage cases now, and the issue is much like the 1967 decision that struck down anti-miscegenation laws and allowed interracial couples to marry.
Job Growth Falls to 88,000, Half a Million Workers Leave Labor Force
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15565-job-growth-falls-to-88000-half-a-million-workers-leave-labor-force
Dean Baker, Center for Economic and Policy Research: It is important to remember that the March data does not reflect the impact of the sequester. It is more likely that the unemployment rate will rise than fall through the rest of 2013.
Beyond Deficit Scare-Mongering
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15551-beyond-deficit-scare-mongering
Ellen Frank, Dollars and Sense: The attack on Social Security is bipartisan, with many Democrats acceding to a cut in benefits by reducing the annual cost-of-living adjustment to benefits in the future. Social Security and Medicare have determined enemies, but they have few principled defenders.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15521-two-years-on-fukushima-raises-many-questions-provides-one-clear-answer

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15552-empowered-by-the-past-red-state-co-ops-go-green

US-Made Tear Gas Supports State Violence in Egypt
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15550-us-made-tear-gas-and-state-violence-in-egypt
Sarah Lazare, Truthout: The use of "Made in the USA" (but no longer so-labeled) tear gas is an export approved by the US State Department in the violent state repression of dissent in Cairo.
Republicans Criticize Government Spending Unless It Lowers Our Wages
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15555-republicans-criticize-government-spending-unless-it-lowers-our-wages
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: Republicans criticize government spending when it is about making our lives better. Of course, by definition all government spending in a "democracy" is done to make our lives better. In a plutocracy, though, it's a very different story.
Why Is North Dakota Torturing Women?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15556-why-is-north-dakota-torturing-women
Jessica Valenti, The Nation: According to a recent United Nations report, North Dakota is torturing women. The UN's special rapporteur on torture has included lack of access to abortion in his yearly report on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/15557-the-cell-phone-turns-40-pros-cons-of-a-cordless-life
Beth Buczynski, Care2: Few among us would prefer to return to a time of corded phones, but the impact of the cell phone on our behavior and quality of life hasn't all been positive. Here are the pros and cons of the cell phone era.
