Henry A. Giroux | Academic Madness and the Politics of Exile
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27501-henry-a-giroux-academic-madness-and=
-the-politics-of-exile
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: Academic exile seems like more than a reprieve. =
Instead it's a kind of public space where a new language, understanding of =
politics and new forms of solidarity can at least be nurtured among the dis=
placed.
It's Time for an Honest Conversation About Why People Don't Vote
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27509-it-s-time-for-honest-conversation-a=
bout-why-people-don-t-vote
Joe Brewer, Truthout: People understand that voting alone will not magicall=

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27491-the-siege-of-julian-assange-is-a-f=

A Plea for Reconciliation and Healing of the Nation
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/27498-a-plea-for-reconciliation-and-h=
ealing-of-the-nation
Mildred Pitts Walter, Truthout: Some may say they had nothing to do with sl=
avery, that they are not racist and not guilty. However, we have all partic=
ipated in or observed and allowed institutions and other individuals to per=
petuate racism in this nation. There must be acknowledgement of wrong to an=
other human being, admission of racism and willingness to change to achieve=
reconciliation.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/27511-private-equity-now-looking-to-even-big=
ger-chumps-namely-401-k-s-and-retail
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: One of the reasons that private equity has ma=
naged to flourish is that its biggest investor group is what is traditional=

rcent of industry assets.
Fossil-Fueled Republicanism
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/27517-fossil-fueled-republicanism
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: In the wake of the midterm elections, Republ=

uel reserves.

-leaders-will-we-get-new-policies
Robin Marty, Care2: With a short lame-duck session to finish first, 2015 al=
ready looks like a legislative session that will be full of butting heads, =
dueling policies and outside action groups hoping to see politicians repres=
ent their demands. Will anything actually get accomplished, though?

ation's Undocumented

Amy Goodman and Juan Gonz=C3=A1lez, Democracy Now!: President Obama is cons=
idering issuing an executive action that could protect millions of undocume=
nted immigrants from deportation. Obama's executive actions will not provid=
e any formal, lasting immigration status, but many immigrants will receive =
work permits.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/27516-dude-needs-a-vacation-a-net-neu=
