t r u t h o u t | At Truthout, we find it offensive to see ads for corporations that are part of the problem running alongside articles that claim to be part of the solution. That's why we don't take corporate advertising money and never will. But this means our work depends on readers like you. Can you make a tax-deductible donation now and help us raise the $37,000 more we still need?

Henry A. Giroux | Neoliberalism's War on Democracy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23306-neoliberalisms-war-on-democracy
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: In an excerpt from his new book, Giroux explains how four decades of neoliberal policies have resulted in an economic Darwinism that promotes privatization, commodification, free trade, and deregulation.
The NSA Comes Home: Police Departments Conceal Phone Tracking Equipment From Courts
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23294-the-nsa-comes-home-police-departments-conceal-phone-tracking-equipment-from-courts
Candice Bernd, Truthout: Police departments across the nation are concealing their use of cellphone tracking equipment from local courts because of nondisclosure agreements which allow the departments to use the devices on loan - as long as they promise the manufacturer to keep it a secret.
Prophecy Delivered! Martin Luther King Jr. and the Death of Democracy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23253-prophecy-delivered-martin-luther-king-jr-and-the-death-of-democracy
Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, Truthout: Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. prophesied: "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." One year later, he was martyred.
The Story the Government Doesn't Want You to Hear
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23277-the-story-the-government-doesnt-want-you-to-hear
Rivera Sun, Truthout: The stories from the frontlines of nonviolent struggle are not the ones shown on the evening news; they are human stories of hope and determination.
Act Now to Keep Students Safe
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23314-act-now-to-keep-students-safe
Bill Lichtenstein, Truthout: Seclusion or restraint for students is much more widely used in schools than you'd think, and it's endangering student health. The Keeping All Students Safe Act would outlaw the practice, but its passage in Congress is threatened because both of its sponsors are retiring.
Three Things Obama's New Clemency Initiative Doesn't Do
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23321-three-things-obamas-new-clemency-initiative-doesnt-do
Kara Brandeisky, ProPublica: Obama's commutation reforms have been cheered by prisoners' rights advocates who call them necessary. But the new initiatives don't address other problems with presidential clemency, like racial disparity in pardons and covering every prisoner serving an outdated sentence.
Will Climate Change Wash Away One of Louisiana's Last Remaining Indigenous Tribes?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23323-exclusive-will-climate-change-wash-away-one-of-louisianas-last-remaining-indigenous-tribes
Tom Finn and Sam Kimball, System Change Not Climate Change: The way of life on the Isle de Jean Charles for the Biloxi-Chitimacha, the small Native American tribe who first settled on the isle in the 1840s and carved out an existence amongst its swamps and marshes, is now in jeopardy due to climate change.
Five Ways American Policies Make Us Lonely, Anxious, and Antisocial
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23324-five-ways-american-policies-make-us-lonely-anxious-and-antisocial
Lynn Parramore, Campaign For America's Future: Our society is increasingly designed by politicians indebted to the 1% for the express purpose of enhancing and maintaining the power of the very top rung. The rest of us are left to cope with a rocky, competitive life path that leaves us isolated and exhausted.
Paying for the Climate Change Pivot
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23322-paying-for-the-climate-change-pivot
Emily Schwartz Greco and John Feffer, OtherWords: Fortunately, there's a big pot of money available to avert a climate catastrophe. Accessing that money, however, requires cutting back on a different set of pollutants; the huge cache of weapons the world continues to produce.
Judge Tosses Retaliation Lawsuit by Fired NY Fed Examiner
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23326-judge-tosses-retaliation-lawsuit-by-fired-ny-fed-examiner
Jake Bernstein, ProPublica: A federal judge dismissed the claims of a former bank examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York who says she was fired for refusing to change her finding that Goldman Sachs lacked a firm-wide conflict-of-interest policy.
