Dahr Jamail | Addressing Population Growth - Through Freedom, Not Control -=
Is Crucial to Confronting Climate Disruption
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29229-addressing-population-growth-through-f=
reedom-not-control-is-crucial-to-confronting-climate-disruption
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Arguments about overpopulation often target black an=
d brown people, especially in developing countries, and are used to defend =
killings, forced sterilization and the mass denial of reproductive justice.=
In reality, population-related problems, which exacerbate climate disrupti=
on, stem from overuse of resources in the West.=20
Without Social Security, Income Inequality Would Be Even Worse for Seniors
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/29230-without-social-security-in=
come-inequality-would-be-even-worse-for-seniors=20
Nancy J. Altman and Eric R. Kingson, The New Press: Even though it is a sel=
f-sustaining program funded by workers and employers, Social Security has b=
een under withering assault in recent years. Social Security Works! argues =
that expanding - rather than cutting - Social Security will benefit individ=
ual people and the United States as a whole.=20
Dark Money Could Get Even Darker
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29233-dark-money-could-get-even-darker=20
Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, Brennan Center for Justice: The story of dark money=
could get a new chapter from the Supreme Court this term in ProtectMarriag=
e.com v. Bowen. ProtectMarriage, one of the primary proponents of Californi=
a's anti-gay Prop. 8, is seeking total exemption from otherwise applicable =
campaign finance disclosure laws in the state.=20
John Pilger: Venezuela's Struggle Against "a Common Enemy"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29218-venezuela-s-struggle-against-a-common-=
enemy=20
Mike Albert, Truthout: In this interview, author John Pilger talks about ho=
w the United States is staging a coup in Venezuela because that country, wi=
th huge oil reserves, puts its people first, refusing "to promote or succum=
b to US demands and pressures."=20
Air Pollution From Europe and the US Is Making the Tropics Drier
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29234-air-pollution-from-europe-and-the-=
us-is-making-the-tropics-drier=20
Harriet Ridley, The Conversation: Most of us, when asked to think about cli=
mate change, think of global warming and the unequivocal rise in greenhouse=
gases. But greenhouse gases aren't the only pollutants we produce which ha=
ve the potential to disrupt the climate.=20
Greed, Fear and Other Roadblocks to Health Care Reform
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29232-greed-fear-and-other-roadblocks=
-to-health-care-reform
Dr. Philip Caper, Bangor Daily News: Most other wealthy democracies have ma=
de health care a de facto right of all. Yet we have been arguing about whet=
her to do so for nearly a hundred years and haven't done it yet.=20
Seven Ways to Revolutionize Childcare and Build All-Ages Movements
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29231-seven-ways-to-revolutionize-childca=
re-and-build-all-ages-movements
Victoria Law, Waging Nonviolence: In the context of political organizing, w=
e need to talk to people who do not have caregiving responsibilities and ma=
ke them understand the importance of supporting parents and caregivers' par=
ticipation. Here are seven ways to create movements that accommodate all ag=
es.=20
Why Do People Feel Entitled to Tell the Poor What to Eat?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29237-why-do-people-feel-entitled-to-tel=
l-poor-people-what-to-eat=20
Bryce Covert, The Nation: Why do people think they're entitled to decide ho=
w food stamps, in particular, are used? When we give people assistance thro=
ugh the home-mortgage interest deduction, we don't feel entitled to tell th=
em what house to buy or what neighborhood to live in.=20
REDD and Neocolonialism in the Land of the Pataxo Warriors
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29235-redd-neo-colonialism-in-the-land-o=
f-the-pataxo-warriors=20
Renata Bessi and Santiago Navarro F., CIP Americas Program: Under the Reduc=
ing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation program (REDD), so-=
called "pollution permits" allow industries to continue to pollute while "o=
ffsetting" their emissions by paying so that in another part of the world t=
hey stop cutting down forests and reforest. The indigenous citizens of Braz=
il are resisting this encroachment.=20
Goosey as Ever
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29236-goosey-as-ever=20
Jim Hightower, OtherWords: Yes, Election Day is still nearly two years away=
, but the candidates are already on the loose. And they're as goosey as eve=
r. So far, the goosiest has been Mitt Romney.=20
This week in Speakout: Ramzy Baroud examines how Hamas' regional political =
maneuvers of recent years are not bearing fruit, and, in a second piece, ar=
gues it's time for action after the killing of three US Muslims; Gary Ruski=
n writes an open letter to Professor Kevin Folta on FOIA requests looking f=

tlights how many retired police officers agree with FBI Director James Come=
y's recent remarks, which essentially come down to "everyone's a little bit=
racist"; Bruno J=C3=A4ntti highlights how the promising political structur=
es of Kurdish socialist forces in Rojhelat - as well as their war against t=
he Islamic State - deserve more attention; Kent Shifferd offers a foundatio=
n for hope in hard times, while Rivera Sun highlights the contributions of =
