http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28430-human-rights-campaign-under-fire-i=
n-lgbt-community=20
Toshio Meronek, Truthout: Queer groups call foul on the largest LGBT nonpro=

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28474-no-one-is-safe-from-backlash-when-=
criticizing-the-police-even-the-police=20
Crystal Shepeard, Care2: National protests have helped highlight a long kno=

In Praise of Buffer States
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28448-in-praise-of-buffer-states=20
Robin Edward Poulton, Truthout: We need buffer states to avoid direct confr=

Black Wealth Matters
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28476-black-wealth-matters=20
Chuck Collins, OtherWords: Dramatic shifts in racial wealth disparities can=

Is a Clinton Revival Timed-Out?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28477-is-a-clinton-revival-timed-out=20
Beverly Bandler, Consortium News: There may not be a big demand for 1990s n=
ostalgia, but the 2016 presidential race could offer one more contest invol=
ving a Clinton and a Bush. Yet, some Democrats fear Hillary Clinton could u=
ltimately fail because she lacks a vision for addressing today's problems.
Police Corruption Exposed
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28479-police-corruption-exposed=20
Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report: If New Yorkers don't feel afraid i=
n the absence of police due to the NYPD's protest, perhaps we can begin ask=
ing serious questions about why - and indeed if - we need the police force =
that we have.
Pride and Professionalism Shape the Lives of Gay and Lesbian Teachers
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28478-pride-and-professionalism-shape-the=
-lives-of-gay-and-lesbian-teachers=20
Dr. Catherine Connell, Girl w/ Pen: Changes in the norms of teaching profes=
sionalism and gay pride are necessary to enable sexual justice in schools, =
for both teachers and students alike.
Rebuilding the Obama-Putin Trust
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28480-rebuilding-the-obama-putin-trust=20
Ray McGovern, Consortium News: Heading into the last quarter of his preside=
ncy, Barack Obama must decide whether he will let the neocons keep pulling =
his strings or finally break loose and pursue a realistic foreign policy se=
eking practical solutions to world problems, including the crisis with Russ=
ia over Ukraine.

ry; Benjamin Dancer argues that because of our collective vulnerability whe=
n it comes to the power grid, we have an opportunity to bring the left and =
