William Rivers Pitt | The Eternal Scott Brown Campaign
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22536-william-rivers-pitt-the-eternal-scott-brown-campaign
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: It does not appear that the stars are aligning for Scott Brown here in the Granite State. John Kerry won New Hampshire in 2004, Obama won the state in 2008 and 2012, and the only Republican representing New Hampshire at the federal level is Kelly Ayotte. This is not your father's New Hampshire, Scott. Not anymore.
Journalist Calls for Accountability in Police Killings
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22538-journalist-calls-for-accountability-in-police-killings
Bethania Palma Markus, Truthout: Journalist and professor D. Brian Burghart saw a gaping information hole when he realized no one knows how many civilians are killed by law enforcement every year. So he launched the database Fatal Encounters to keep track.
John Pilger | The Forgotten Coup - and How the Same Godfather Rules From Canberra to Kiev
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22527-the-forgotten-coup-and-how-the-same-godfather-rules-from-canberra-to-kiev
John Pilger, Truthout: Washington's role in the fascist putsch against an elected government in Ukraine will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore the historical record. Since 1945, dozens of governments, many of them democracies, have met a similar fate, usually with bloodshed.
Abrupt Climate Change: No Bioperturbation
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22469-abrupt-climate-change-no-bioperturbation
Bruce Melton, Truthout: Twenty years ago, abrupt climate change was not a consideration. After 20 years of delay in treating climate pollution, abrupt climate changes 10 to 100 times more extreme than current climate change projections are now the most important issues facing our society.
Bonding Through Bars: Time To Tear Down Those Walls
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22528-bonding-through-bars-time-to-tear-down-those-walls
Samantha Sarra, Truthout: The health of future generations is linked to our stories of incarceration. Children of incarcerated mothers are more likely to encounter extreme poverty, trauma and grief and to be victims of violence. Those facts demand a reconsideration of the policy of incarcerating mothers.
The Useful Idiots of the Corporate Elite
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22549-the-useful-idiots-of-the-corporate-elite
The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: For some 50 years now, Republicans have been using race-baiting tactics and dog-whistle politics to convince Americans that the black community is behind poverty in America.
Who Controls the Kochs' Political Network?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22540-who-controls-the-kochs-political-network-asmi-slah-and-tohe
Kim Barker and Theodoric Meyer, ProPublica: Documents released in recent months show the Kochs have added wrinkles to their network that even experts well-versed in tax law and campaign finance say they've never seen before - wrinkles that could make it harder to discern who controls each nonprofit in the web and how it disperses its money.
Sixteen for '16 - Number 4: Medicare for All
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22454-sixteen-for-16-number-4-medicare-for-all
Salvatore Babones, Truthout: That every American should have inexpensive access to all necessary health care is not a matter for debate. As with our education system, our long-standing traditions of local control and community care should remain bedrock principles of our health care system.
These Seattle Teachers Boycotted Standardized Testing - and Sparked a Nationwide Movement
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22539-these-seattle-teachers-boycotted-standardized-testing-and-sparked-a-nationwide-movement
Diane Brooks, Yes! Magazine: Life felt eerie for teachers at Seattle's Garfield High in the days following their unanimous rebellion last winter against standardized testing. Their historic press conference had captured the attention of national media. But by Monday, they still hadn't heard a word from their own school district's leadership.
Paul Craig Roberts on Crimea, US Foreign Policy and the Transformation of Mainstream Media
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22542-paul-craig-roberts-on-crimea-us-foreign-policy-and-the-transformation-of-mainstream-media
Harrison Samphir, Truthout: Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant secretary of the treasury under Ronald Reagan, argues that there's no evidence the American people support Washington's meddling - including the violation of every norm of international law and much US law - in Ukraine.
Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership Deal Would Deepen Income Divide
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22547-obamas-pacific-deal-would-deepen-income-divide
Roger Bybee, Dollars & Sense: The TPP would provide transnational corporations with easier access to cheap labor in Pacific Rim nations and new power to trump public-interest protections. It will benefit US companies relocating jobs to low-wage, high-repression nations. This would also exert strong downward pressures on the pay of US workers.
Amy Goodman | After Crimea Votes To Secede, How Will US and Russia Handle Gravest Crisis Since Cold War?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22545-after-crimea-votes-to-secede-how-will-us-and-russia-handle-gravest-crisis-since-cold-war
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: The United States and the European Union are warning Russia not to annex Crimea after voters there overwhelmingly backed a referendum to leave Ukraine.
