The Privatization of Infrastructure Is Costing Us All
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28142-innovations-or-hucksterism-three-littl=
e-known-infrastructure-privatization-problems
Ellen Dannin, Truthout: We must ask: Who actually benefits from and pays fo=
r infrastructure? How is privatization affecting our roads and bridges - an=
d our pocketbooks?
Hands Off Assata: Protests Can Protect the Revolutionary Fugitive in Cuba A=
gain
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28150-hands-off-assata-protests-can-protect-=
the-revolutionary-fugitive-again
David Goodner, Truthout: In 1998, a nonbinding resolution called the Joanne=
Chesimard Fugitive Act passed both houses of Congress. The protest movemen=
t that erupted at the time points the way forward for how activists today c=
an win a #HandsOffAssata campaign.
Dean Baker | The Trade Agreement Pi=C3=B1atas
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28137-the-trade-agreement-pinatas
Dean Baker, Truthout: Many labor, environmental and consumer groups have st=
epped up their criticisms of the Obama administration's plans for pushing f=
ast-track trade negotiating authority recently. The purpose of fast-track i=
s to allow the administration to negotiate to complete the Trans-Pacific Pa=
rtnership and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Pact.
"The Hunger Games"-ification of Police and the Community
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28151-the-hunger-game-ification-of-am=
erican-police-and-the-community
Dr. Jason Michael Williams, Truthout: American policing began with the slav=
e patrols, and yet, today, as then, the response to the outcries of Blacks =
on this issue is non-acknowledgement and condemnation - on par with the sto=
ryline of "The Hunger Games," no?
Labor Law for the 0.01%
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28141-labor-law-for-the-0-01-percent
John Logan, Truthout: The United States desperately needs labor law reform =
- but not the "Employee Rights Act" labor law for the 0.01% supported by Ri=
ck Berman and Newt Gingrich. Under existing law, unscrupulous corporations =
and their "union avoidance consultants" effectively choose whether a workpl=
ace gets a union.
We Shouldn't Blindly Worship Authority Figures
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28164-we-shouldn-t-blindly-worship-au=
thority-figures=20
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: There's a direct line leadi=
ng from our hero worship of cops, to the arming of local police forces with=
weapons of war, to the killing of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. The US is=
not yet an authoritarian state, but if we want to avoid that, we need to k=
eep these dangerous trends in check.
Cromnibus Pension Provisions Gut 40 Years of Policy, Allow Existing Pension=
s to Be Slashed
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28139-cromnibus-pension-provisions-gut-forty=
-years-of-policy-allow-existing-pensions-to-be-slashed
Lambert Strether, Naked Capitalism: The Kline-Miller amendment, passed by t=
he House, and part of the Senate bill forwarded to Obama for his signature,=
is one provision that could do immediate harm to working people who made t=
heir retirement plans based on the belief that their pension rights were se=
cure.
Citizens Take Monitoring Into Own Hands as Eagle Ford Shale Boom Continues =
Undaunted
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28140-citizens-take-monitoring-into-own-hand=
s-as-eagle-ford-shale-boom-continues-undaunted
Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog: During the past two years, Hugh Fitzsimons lll=
, a buffalo rancher on the outskirts of Carrizo Springs, Texas, has watched=
the fracking boom transform a rural locale into an industry hub. Desolate =
dirt roads are now packed with truck traffic and commercial development to =
service the growing industry.
The War to Start All Wars: The 25th Anniversary of the Forgotten Invasion o=
f Panama
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28138-the-war-to-start-all-wars-the-2=
5th-anniversary-of-the-forgotten-invasion-of-panama
Greg Grandin, TomDispatch: It was George H.W. Bush's invasion of that small=
, poor country 25 years ago that inaugurated the age of preemptive unilater=
alism, using "democracy" and "freedom" as both justifications for war and a=
branding opportunity. The road to Baghdad, in other words, ran through Pan=
ama City.
Let Us Speak! Let Us Speak! Let Us Speak! Voices From Ferguson to Sharpton
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28146-let-us-speak-let-us-speak-let-us-sp=
eak-voices-from-ferguson-to-sharpton
Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo, Black Agenda Report: Al Sharpton's assertion th=
at the people from Ferguson would be violent is more consistent with the po=
sition of the police than with the people of Ferguson. It is precisely this=
assumption that Black people are violent that is getting Black folks all o=
ver the country killed.
Under Fire for Negligence, North Carolina Prisons Chief Seeks New Funding f=
or Mental Health Treatment
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28148-under-fire-for-negligence-north-caroli=
na-prisons-chief-seeks-new-funding-for-mental-health-treatment
Lisa Dawson, Solitary Watch: North Carolina corrections chief David Guice w=
ants more than $20 million to improve the treatment of people with mental i=
llness in the state's prisons. His request comes on the heels of two recent=
reports showing neglect and abuse of prisoners with psychiatric disabiliti=
es in North Carolina.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Poverty and Inequality Are Getting Worse in=
the US, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28156-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-poverty=
-and-inequality-are-getting-worse-in-the-us-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Even in the face of the so-called recovery,=
