Because of last week's DC Appeals Court decision striking down net neutrality, the very existence of independent media like Truthout is in deep peril. The same corporations we have called to account are now on the cusp of owning the ability to decide who sees what online and for how much. We need our readers more than ever - will you show your support by making a tax-deductible donation today?

BP Employees, Outraged by Lack of Compensation, Warn Oil Spill Victims
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21295-bp-employees-outraged-by-lack-of-compensation
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Dozens who have claims against BP in the aftermath of the 2010 Gulf oil spill have told Truthout they are infuriated at the company's ongoing attempts to avoid payments, and they are not alone. Now, employees are accusing BP of greed, exploitation and lying about their pensions.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21350-four-questionable-claims-obama-has-made-on-nsa-surveillance

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21369-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-congress-chips-away-at-social-safety-net-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Congress can't find the willpower to raise taxes on the rich, but that hasn't stopped it from chipping away at our retirement and slashing our social safety net; radiation levels have reached a record high in the well underneath the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant; two oncologists are calling on their peers to support single-payer health care; and more.
On Ending War
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21299-on-ending-war
E. Douglas Kihn, Truthout: Many will use their concept of biology as a reason to scoff at the suggestion that we must end war. But even if warfare is in our genes, we still have to change - or someday perish.

Six Drugs Whose Dangerous Risks Were Buried so Big Pharma Could Make Money
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21365-six-drugs-whose-dangerous-risks-were-buried-so-big-pharma-could-make-money
Martha Rosenberg, AlterNet: The FDA and Big Pharma contend that dangerous side-effects in a prescription drug emerge only when it is used by millions instead of the relatively small group of people in clinical trials. But there is another reason the public ends up as guinea pigs.
The Office of the Future
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21349-the-office-of-the-future
Jay Monaco, Jacobin: Take a look inside C&S Wholesale Grocers, headquartered in isolated Keene, New Hampshire, and routinely ranked between the eighth- and 13th-largest privately held American corporations by Forbes. The grocery chain is a secret corporate empire, home to the future of white-collar exploitation.

It has shined a spotlight on how complicated our fragmented health insurance system is.
