The Cost of Teaching an Old Nuclear Weapon New Tricks
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25312-the-cost-of-teaching-an-old-nuclear-weapons-new-tricks
Jon Letman, Truthout: Seven decades after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, the United States has long-term plans to "modernize" its nuclear weapons - at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars.
Resistance Is Not Futile
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/25342-resistance-is-not-futile
Rory Fanning, Truthout: Israeli conscientious objectors - who stand up to the pressures of their society and face jail for refusing to serve in the Israel Defense Forces - deserve recognition and backing from US anti-imperialists.
Why Waiting Your Turn in Line Doesn't Make Sense for Desperate Immigrant Families
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25408-why-waiting-your-turn-in-line-doesn%E2%80%99t-make-sense-for-desperate-immigrant-families
Michelle Chen, The Nation: Whenever the issue of immigration comes up in Congress, lawmakers point to "the line." Just get in line and wait your turn! This magical, invisible line encapsulates an enduring myth of immigration policy.
Feds to Phase Out GMO Farms and Neonicotinoid Pesticides at Wildlife Refuges
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25384-feds-to-phase-out-gmo-farms-and-neonicotinoid-pesticides-at-wildlife-refuges
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: After facing a series of legal challenges from environmental groups, the US Fish and Wildlife Service will phase out the use of genetically modified crops and controversial neonicotinoid pesticides at farming projects on national wildlife refuges.
The Problem With the Private Option
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25395-the-problem-with-the-private-option
A.W. Gaffney, Truthout: While Obamacare is expanding Medicaid, it is making it "more Republican," too. Various states are privatizing Medicaid, increasing the costs and decreasing the benefits to the poor under the ideological cover of teaching them how to "consume" health care.
Lakota Women Work to Fend Off South Dakota's Epic Drought
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25409-lakota-women-work-to-fend-off-south-dakotas-epic-drought
Kristin Moe, Yes! Magazine: Long years of drought in South Dakota have made it difficult for the soil to absorb water. A group led by indigenous women is working to change that through an ambitious dam-building project.
Is Google the New Sheriff in Town?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25427-is-google-the-new-sheriff-in-town
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: The fact that Google acted essentially as an arm of law enforcement in a recent Houston, Texas case is disturbing. It raises some big questions about privacy and security in a world where nearly everyone communicates on some sort of digital platform.
Israel's War of Words
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25402-israels-war-of-words
L. Michael Hager, Truthout: Israel's PR campaign rivals the IDF military campaign in its relentless use of disinformation and repeated untruths - which the US media too regularly echoes without question. Sadly, but not surprisingly, a majority of Americans endorse the Israeli war campaign in Gaza.
Why Are Women in Prison?: The Politics of Risk
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25419-hy-are-women-in-prison-the-politics-of-risk
Truthout Staff, Left Forum: This panel discussion probes our assumptions around danger, safety, gender and the measures used to maintain "security" in a society pervaded by prisons. Speakers include Leslie Thatcher, Maya Schenwar, Victoria Law and Glenn E. Martin.
"Life Is Awful in Gaza": Two Residents' Accounts
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25375-two-gazans-tell-their-stories-a-16-year-old-blogger-and-a-young-father-under-siege
Dennis J. Bernstein, Truthout: As of this writing, the death toll for Gazans has exceeded 1,660. On August 2, Gaza's Health Ministry stopped publishing statistics, as the numbers of the dead and wounded continued to grow and all Gaza hospitals had reached the bursting point.
Brutal Treatment of Kids at Rikers Island Jail Inspired by Lord of the Flies, Says DOJ
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25422-brutal-treatment-of-kids-at-rikers-island-jail-inspired-by-lord-of-the-flies-says-doj
Allegra Kirkland, AlterNet: Adolescents at the New York City jail are routinely subjected to physical abuse at the hands of guards and other incarcerated people.
Black Caucus: #StandWithKeith to End Gaza Blockade
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25406-black-caucus-stand-with-keith-to-end-gaza-blockade
Robert Naiman, Truthout: Rep. Keith Ellison stands alone among members of Congress in calling for the economic blockade on civilians in Gaza to end. There is a vacuum of pragmatic, reformist leadership to try to limit the powerful Israel lobby's destructive influence on US policy toward Israel-Palestine.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Americans Are Drowning in Debt, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25404-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-americans-are-drowning-in-debt-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Americans are drowning in debt; government surveillance is threatening our entire democracy; McDonald's workers just scored a major victory in their fight to form a union; and more.
Take Roots Action:
The US Congress has condemned the inexcusable Hamas rocket attacks but refused to voice the slightest criticism of the Israeli government for dropping thousands of tons of bombs on people in Gaza.
Tell your representative and senators that they should be ashamed of themselves.
