Black Death: The Rashomon Effect and Our Symbols of Justice
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29552-black-death-the-rashomon-effect-and=
-our-symbols-of-justice
Arthur Goodridge, Truthout: If Americans are to move forward toward justice=
and healing, US institutions and those who run them must acknowledge the R=

Trade Agreements Are Rigged to Protect Capital From Democracy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29595-trade-agreements-rigged-to-protect-cap=
ital-from-democracy
Park MacDougald, Truthout: The purpose of the contemporary investment regim=
e has always been to restrict democratic action to protect the interests of=
capital. Within the TPP and TTIP agreements, investor-state dispute settle=
ment provisions are another means by which "corporate sovereignty" could tr=
ump state sovereignty and threaten to undo government regulations and prote=
ctions.
The National Security Elites Are Co-Opting Democracy
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/29596-the-national-security-elit=
es-are-co-opting-democracy
Scott Horton, Nation Books: Throughout history, executives have used the ad=

o protect legislators against this sort of abuse, the Constitution's speech=
and debate clause provides a limited form of immunity for members of Congr=
ess.
Children of the Code: Big Data, Little Kids
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29542-children-of-the-code-big-data-little-k=
ids
Adam Bessie and Dan Carino, Truthout: In the era of Big Data, children are =

raphic essay.
Cookie-Cutter ALEC Right-to-Work Bills Pop Up in Multiple States
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29600-cookie-cutter-alec-right-to-work-bills=
-pop-in-multiple-states
Jody Knauss, PR Watch: The push for "right-to-work" laws continues in multi=
ple states in a variety of forms. From a legally dubious executive order in=
Illinois to an equally suspect county-level strategy in Kentucky, ALEC's e=
ffort to disable unions as an organized voice for working families marches =
on.
Is It Time to Disband the Republican Party?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29620-is-it-time-to-disband-the-republica=
n-party
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: In the US, when something i=
s filled with corruption, we get rid of it. We shut it down. So, maybe it's=
time to shut down the Republican Party, and replace it with something that=
might actually do some good for the US people.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/29615-eyewitness-to-ferguson-police-shooting=

Amy Goodman and Nermeen Shaikh, Democracy Now!: Two police officers have be=

se
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29605-big-oil-s-broken-business-model-the-re=
al-story-behind-the-oil-price-collapse
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: Many reasons have been provided for the dram=
atic plunge in the price of oil. There is, however, one reason that's not b=
eing discussed, and yet it could be the most important of all: the complete=
collapse of Big Oil's production-maximizing business model.
An Immigrant Nightmare: Failing at the "American Dream"
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29617-an-immigrant-nightmare-failing-at-t=
he-american-dream
Saket Soni, The Nation: A federal jury recently awarded $14 million in dama=
ges to a group of courageous H-2B guest workers from India, who captured na=
tional headlines in 2008 when they exposed severe labor exploitation by a G=
ulf Coast ship and oil-rig builder called Signal International.
The "Flood Wall Street 10" Fought the Law and Won
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29618-the-flood-wall-street-10-fought-the-la=
w-and-won

igh-end eyeglass saleswoman, disabled US Army veteran and seven other defen=
dants walked into a New York City courtroom. Hours later, they walked out n=
ot guilty. The reason why, however, is more surprising than you might think=
.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29611-depravity-at-the-highest-level-obam=
a-prepares-the-boil-from-selma
Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo and Kevin Berends, Black Agenda Report: The Obam=
a administration and its Black mis-leadership class orchestrated elaborate =
kabuki theatre in the city of Selma, Alabama, this weekend. Today's politic=
al cowards dared to walk in the same space as heroes, including Dr. Martin =
Luther King, Jr., who risked - and gave - everything.
Solar Lights a Healthy - and Empowering - Path in Disasters
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29546-solar-lights-a-healthy-and-empo=
wering-path-in-disasters
Marianne Lavelle, The Daily Climate: When disaster strikes, survivors have =
a few basic needs: food, water, shelter, blankets. But energy quickly becom=
es just as fundamental a need - and it is often lacking. Breakthroughs in l=
ow-cost, solar lighting and mobile charging can improve the quality of disa=
ster relief.
