http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23589-william-rivers-pitt-mothers-day=
-at-the-end-of-the-world
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "I stand with every mother who has heard tha=
t bell toll as their child is lowered into the ground because of a gun. The=
re are almost 4,000 such mothers so far this year, with many more to come, =
because the year is still young, and we still love our guns more than we lo=
ve our children."
The Rise of the Gig Economy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/23592-the-rise-of-the-gig-economy
Gerald Friedman, Dollars & Sense: Growing numbers of Americans no longer ho=
ld a regular "job" with a long-term connection to a particular business. In=
stead, they work "gigs," where they are employed on a particular task or fo=
r a defined time, with little connection to their employer.
Unions Need to Build Power
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23583-unions-need-to-build-power
Jane McAlevey, Verso: In this excerpt from the new afterword to Raising Exp=
ectations (And Raising Hell), Jane McAlevey argues that unions and others s=
erious about changing the conditions of inequality in this country have to =
stop focusing on wealth inequality and start focusing on the inequality of =
power.
Climate Change Report Sets the Table for New Emissions Rules
http://truth-out.org/news/item/23594-climate-change-report-sets-the-table-f=
or-new-emissions-rules
Mary Bottari, PR Watch: Climate change is real and is impacting every corne=
r of the nation right now, says a report released Tuesday by the Obama admi=
nistration. The report comes as the Environmental Protection Agency is slat=
ed to release proposed emissions standards for existing power plants.
Devaluing Work and Workers
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23595-devaluing-work-and-workers
Emily Schwartz Greco and William A. Collins, OtherWords: The Great Recessio=
n leveled a blow to the middle and working classes from which they haven't =
yet recovered. Aggressively corporate-friendly trade deals, worker-replacin=
g technology, and rampant union-busting are setting up an even bloodier war=
on labor.
Public Outcry on Net Neutrality Rules Puts Pressure on FCC
http://truth-out.org/news/item/23602-public-outcry-on-net-neutrality-rules-=
puts-pressure-on-fcc
Anne Meador and John Zangas, DC Media Group: Commissioners on an FCC panel =
which could determine the future of the internet are feeling the heat this =
week as protest intensifies against a new set of open internet rules propos=
ed by chairman Tom Wheeler.
Supreme Court: Helping Biggest Donors, but What About Voters?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23596-supreme-court-helping-biggest-d=
onors-but-what-about-voters
Wendy R. Weiser, Brennan Center for Justice: The Constitution protects the =
"basic" democratic right of every American to participate in elections. Tha=
t should offer solace at a time when self-interested politicians are passin=
g laws that could keep millions from voting. But should we be reassured? Re=
cent Supreme Court decisions give us pause.
Fix Schools First, Say Charter Teachers
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23601-fix-schools-first-say-charter-teac=
hers
Samantha Winslow, Labor Notes: Charter school teachers in Philadelphia are =
speaking out against their employer taking over another school while ignori=
ng teachers at existing schools. Instead of supporting management's expansi=
on plans, they're making common cause with parents at the targeted school.
Could a US-Japan "Green Alliance" Transform the Climate-Energy Equation?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23597-could-a-us-japan-green-alliance=
-transform-the-climate-energy-equation
Andrew DeWit, The Asia-Pacific Journal: Expanding and escalating US-Japan g=
reen collaboration would surely do more to foster both countries' energy an=
d military security than any other move. Considering the geopolitical stake=
s in East Asia, it is bizarre that years of US military green leadership go=
es without comment in the relations between the two nations.
The Nuclear Zero Lawsuits: Taking Nuclear Weapons to Court
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23599-the-nuclear-zero-lawsuits-takin=
g-nuclear-weapons-to-court
David Krieger, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: One small Pacific nation, the =

ce in The Hague.

Democracy as Biblical Creationists
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: Antonin Scalia, the Federalist Society=
=C2=A0and most tea-party advocates assert that the US needs to "restore" th=
e original Constitution. What they are really saying is that the US should =
