William Rivers Pitt | Hope in the Village
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25020-william-rivers-pitt-hope-in-the=
-village
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Like a coal in the night, a bunch of kids ar=
e immersed in the practice of community and good government. They are engag=
ed, learning how to express themselves, learning how to work together, lear=
ning how to be real and effective citizens. They will carry those experienc=
es with them into adulthood, and improve their world, thanks to the Game of=
Village.
Common Minerals: Lifeblood of the Economic System, Disappearing Along With =
Fossil Fuels
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25024-common-minerals-lifeblood-of-the-econo=
mic-system-disappearing-along-with-fossil-fuels
Shay Totten, Truthout: Minerals and fossil fuels that are rapidly being exh=
austed are described by Ugo Bardi, professor at the University of Florence =
and the author of Extracted, as "Gaia's Gift": "It is a gift that was made =
only once in human history and that will not be made again in the future. F=
rom now on, we are on our own, and we must learn how to live with less."
"Deporter-in-Chief" to Reach 2 Million Mark
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25022-deporter-in-chief-to-reach-2-mi=
llion-mark
Sarah Rosenblatt, Truthout: Despite Obama's deportations of a record 2 mill=
ion immigrants, rights groups across the country have resisted draconian me=
asures to destroy American families. Undocumented activists who put their l=
ives and families on the line have shed light not only on the inhumanity of=
deportation practices, but also on the exploitation of immigrant workers.
Sarah Jaffe | The Right to Parent, Even If You Are Poor
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25029-the-right-to-parent-even-if-you-are-po=
or
Sarah Jaffe, In These Times: Since the 1996 welfare reform bill, low-income=
women get little financial help raising children, and then their poverty i=
s used as a strike against them. They are pushed to find work because socie=
ty doesn't see the care work they do as worthy of financial support.
The Latest Crack in Our Broken Immigration System
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25033-the-latest-crack-in-our-broken-=
immigration-system
Diana Anahi Torres-Valverde, OtherWords: It takes the Citizenship and Immig=
ration Services agency an average of seven years to grant green cards. Due =
to the structure of the immigration system that imposes a per-country cap, =
the wait now lasts more than two decades for Mexican immigrants.
Zarif and Kerry Signal Momentum on Nuclear Pact
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25031-zarif-and-kerry-signal-momentum-on=
-nuclear-pact
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: As the negotiations on the Iranian nucl=
ear program approach the July 20 deadline, both US Secretary of State John =
Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif have signaled they =
are now moving toward agreement on the two most crucial issues in the talks=
.
Who Advised Cuomo on Mortgage Industry Investigation? A Mortgage Lobbyist
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25038-who-advised-cuomo-on-mortgage-industry=
-investigation-a-mortgage-lobbyist
Justin Elliott, ProPublica: In early 2007, when he was New York State attor=
ney general, Andrew Cuomo brought on a longtime confidant as a consultant o=
n mortgage industry investigations, a move that has gone undisclosed until =
now. The friend had another job at the same time: consultant and lobbyist f=
or the very industry Cuomo was investigating.
US Turns Back on Child Migrants After Its Policies in Guatemala, Honduras S=
owed Seeds of Crisis
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25039-us-turns-back-on-child-migrants-af=
ter-its-policies-in-guatemala-honduras-sowed-seeds-of-crisis
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonz=C3=A1lez, Democracy Now!: The US has a long and b=
loody history of destabilizing democratic governments in Honduras, Guatemal=
a and El Salvador - the very countries that are now the sources of a migrat=
ion wave in which tens of thousands of children are crossing the US border =
fleeing violence.
Equal Pay for Women Would Mean a More Secure Retirement for All
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25036-equal-pay-for-women-would-mean-=
a-more-secure-retirement-for-all
Kitty Lan, Campaign For America's Future: The link is simple and clear: Wom=
en earn less than men in the workplace, resulting in lower Social Security =
payments after retirement. The pay discrimination against women not only hu=
rts their current well-being and future security, but also means tens of bi=
llions less in revenues to fund Social Security.
Five States Gunning to Make Their Kids as Scientifically Illiterate as Poss=
ible by Teaching Creationism
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25035-five-states-gunning-to-make-their-=
kids-as-scientifically-illiterate-as-possible-by-teaching-creationism
Dan Arel, AlterNet: In the United States, the battle to bring creationism a=
nd intelligent design into the classroom is alive and well. So what states =
and bills have been the worst for science education? Here are five examples=
of states that have either enacted or are relentlessly fighting to pass an=
ti-evolution and or anti-science bills.
What if You Could Only Get an Abortion if Two Doctors Approved It?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25028-what-if-you-could-only-get-an-a=
bortion-if-two-doctors-approved-it
Robin Marty, Care2: Although abortion is allowed in Canada, in New Brunswic=
k a restriction was placed on the procedure that bans Canadian health insur=
ance from paying for it unless it is done in a hospital, and with the appro=
val of two doctors who have declared it a "medical necessity."
All of Us Are Connected - None of These Words Are Mine Alone
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25034-all-of-us-are-connected-none-of=
-these-words-are-mine-alone
Henia Belalia, Waging Nonviolence: Writing can be a process to explore inte=
rconnectedness and reclaim histories as tools we can use toward collective =
liberation. In this era of media stunts, celebrities and executive director=
s, there's something fundamental for us to recognize: none of these words a=
re ever ours alone.
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Who Is the Refugee? Native Americans and Mexicans Lived in California First
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: To those who protest the meager humanit=
arian relief granted to young people running for their lives from Central A=
merica and Mexico, one can ask if the hatred would appear if the immigrants=
were white Anglo-Saxons? Because that is what the tectonic war over democr=
acy in the United States has been about for nearly 50 years.
