How the Prison-Industrial Complex Destroys Lives
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/16003-the-prison-industrial-complex-the-pac-man-that-destroys-lives
Mark Karlin, Truthout: In a political climate based on emotion and often-distorted media imagery, the public needs to create demand for more rational policies by its leaders on incarceration by seeking diverse voices to make the argument, according to Marc Mauer, author of Race to Incarcerate.
Exploding the Debt Threshold Myth
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/16011-exploding-the-debt-threshold-myth
Salvatore Babones, Truthout: An influential study concluding high government debt slows economic growth - found to be full of mistakes - suggests that desired conclusions may have influenced researchers. Economic policy, Babones argues, should be steered by commonsense inferences as much or more than by questionable economic analyses.
Empty Stomachs From Guantanamo to Palestine
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15987-empty-stomachs-from-guantanamo-to-palestine
Patrick O. Strickland, Truthout: Hunger strikes have served to cultivate a nascent form of international solidarity that unmasks the dual duplicity of the American empire and its favored colonial outpost.
"Human Beings Have No Right to Water" and Other Words of Wisdom From Your Friendly Neighborhood Global Oligarch
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/16015-human-beings-have-no-right-to-water-and-other-words-of-wisdom-from-your-friendly-neighborhood-global-oligarch
Andrew Gavin Marshall, Andrew Gavin Marshall's Blog: Former CEO of Nestle, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, believes that nature is not "good," that there is nothing to worry about with GMO foods, that profits matter above all else, and that human beings do not have a right to water.
Argentina Takes on Vulture Funds in "Debt Trial of the Century"
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/16017-argentina-takes-on-vulture-funds-in-debt-trial-of-the-century
Eric LeCompte, YES! Magazine: For years, "vulture funds" have preyed on struggling nations by purchasing their debt for a pittance. Could an upcoming US court decision put an end to the extortion of poor countries?
North Dakota Voter ID Bill Threatens to Silence Native Votes Just Eight Days After Republican Congressman Cramer Publicly Bashes Tribes and Threatens Native Leaders
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/16021-north-dakotas-voter-id-bill-threatens-to-silence-native-votes-just-eight-days-after-republican-congressman-cramer-publicly-bashes-tribes-and-threatens-native-leaders
Ruth Hopkins, Last Real Indians: North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer verbally assaulted a Native American woman at a public state meeting and refused to apologize. Eight days after the incident, the state Senate passed a voter ID bill, which North Dakota tribes vowed to resist.
Justice Doesn't Just Happen: Feminist Activists Were Essential to EC Ruling
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/16009-justice-doesnt-just-happen-feminist-activists-were-essential-to-ec-ruling
Sheila Bapat, RH Reality Check: A ruling earlier this month declared that emergency contraception (EC) must be made available over-the-counter to all ages. The case emerged in the first place because women's rights activists have remained vigilant about EC accessibility since 2003.
Are Student Loans Becoming a Macroeconomic Issue?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/16024-are-student-loans-becoming-a-macroeconomic-issue
Mike Konczal, Next New Deal: If the lower lending isn't the result of institutional issues with credit scores, that means college-educated young people are particularly battered in this economy. And there could be a low-level drag on the economy for the foreseeable future.
