Gar Alperovitz and Michael Albert: A Conversation on Economic Visions
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22557-gar-alperovitz-and-michael-albert-a-conversation-on-economic-visions Gar Alperovitz and Michael Albert, Truthout:
Two theorists of democratic control of the workplace debate participatory economics, the Pluralist Commonwealth model, the need for markets and balanced job complexes, consciousness raising and real-life experimentation with alternative economic forms.
Massachusetts Senate Votes for Childbirth Without Chains
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22603-massachusetts-senate-votes-for-childbirth-without-chains
Victoria Law, Truthout: On Thursday, the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed S2012, a bill that prohibits shackling during labor and delivery and sets minimum standards for pregnancy-related care for people in jails and prisons. The vote comes after nearly three decades of activism and advocacy from people both in and out of jails and prisons.
"Commemorating" the Vietnam War: One Marine's Perspective
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22579-commemorating-the-vietnam-war-one-marines-perspective
Camillo Mac Bica, Truthout: "March 29 has been designated 'Vietnam Veterans Day,' according to a proclamation issued by President Obama in 2012. Now, I have no problem acknowledging the debt owed to all whose lives were affected by this war. What I find intolerable is that our leaders are incapable of telling the truth about the war."
Neoliberalism as Social Necrophilia: The Case of Greece
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22584-neoliberalism-as-social-necrophilia-the-case-of-greece
Panayota Gounari, Truthout: The neoliberal shock doctrine of austerity to which Greece has been subjected reveals itself as a death-dealing, death-worshipping cult that humanizes "markets," while stripping humans of agency, health, education, community, wealth and well-being.
Why Is It That So Many Reporters Seem To Know So Little About Obamacare?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22608-why-is-it-that-so-many-reporters-seem-to-know-so-little-about-obamacare
Maggie Mahar, Health Beat: When it comes to covering the Affordable Care Act, not only television networks but our major newspapers have fallen far short from common editorial standards. Instead of ideas and information, the mainstream media serves up opinions and anecdotes. Tall tales about "Obamacare's victims" have become standard fare.
Human Radiation Experiments in the Pacific
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22602-human-radiation-experiments-in-the-pacific
Glenn Alcalay, CounterPunch: Several formerly inhabited atolls remain off limits due to lingering radioactivity decades after the last H-bomb shattered the peace on the atolls of Bikini and Enewetak. Imagine if the US finally saw fit to do the right thing and pay their past-due $2 billion nuclear legacy bill.
Alliance of Ranchers and Indigenous Communities Challenges the Keystone XL
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22605-cowboy-indian-solidarity-challenges-the-keystone-xl
Brian Ward, The Ecosocialist Coalition: The next group of people to head to the White House to protest the Keystone XL Pipeline will be the Cowboy Indian Alliance: farmers, ranchers and indigenous communities living along the proposed northern part of the pipeline route.
John Kerry Doubles Down on Venezuela, Despite Being Alone
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22601-john-kerry-doubles-down-on-venezuela-despite-being-alone
Mark Weisbrot, The Guardian: John Kerry thinks the Venezuelan economy is going to collapse and that will bring some of the non-rich Venezuelans into the streets against the government. But the economic situation is actually stabilizing.
DREAM Act Narrowly Fails in NY Senate After Gov. Andrew Cuomo Failed to Push Passage
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22616-dream-act-narrowly-fails-in-ny-senate-after-gov-andrew-cuomo-failed-to-push-passage
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: The New York State Senate has rejected a bill that would have provided tuition assistance to undocumented immigrant college students. The defeated bill, known as the DREAM Act, would affect some 8,000 college-age immigrants who were brought to this country as children by their parents.
Prison Reform's In Vogue and Other Strange Things...
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22604-prison-reforms-in-vogue-and-other-strange-things
Mariame Kaba, Prison Culture: "Absent the large scale, cross-sectional movement-building needed in order to uproot the oppressions that both give rise to the Prison-Industrial Complex and hold it in place, I'm afraid that this latest round of proposed prison reforms will only be another version of tinkering towards imperfection."
Rent in a Warming World
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/22600-rent-in-a-warming-world
James K. Boyce, Triple Crisis: Rent isn't just the monthly check that tenants write to landlords. Economists use the term "rent seeking" to mean "using political and economic power to get a larger share of the national pie." But what's rent got to do with climate change? More than you might think.
