William Rivers Pitt | Short Tales From Bizarro World: Treason Edition
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29623-short-tales-from-bizarro-world-treason-edition
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: The new GOP-controlled Congress has gotten off to a whiz-bang start, hasn't it? Undermining ongoing negotiations on nuclear proliferation by a so-called "rogue state" should be labeled as treason. These days, however, it's "just politics."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/29627-sex-workers-lawsuit-claims-california-s-prostitution-law-is-unconstitutional

Plagiarism, Patchwriting and the Race and Gender Hierarchy of Online Idea Theft
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29569-plagiarism-patchwriting-and-the-race-and-gender-hierarchy-of-online-idea-theft
Amanda Ann Klein and Christian Exoo, Truthout: If a writer publishes a piece that is substantially similar to a previously published piece, is this copyright infringement? Not exactly. But it is unethical, and likely idea theft - an online publishing trend in which women and people of color are getting trampled.
Operation Streamline Finally on Trial
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29576-operation-streamline-finally-on-trial
Roberto Rodriguez, Truthout: After a 2013 direct action challenging Operation Streamline, a US judicial system designed to criminalize and incarcerate undocumented immigrants and then deport them, activists will soon face trial for their civil disobedience. However, it is Streamline - not the activists who are challenging these show trials - that needs to face public scrutiny.
Will the 47 Diplomacy Saboteurs Have Democratic Enablers?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29628-will-the-47-diplomacy-saboteurs-have-democratic-enablers
Robert Naiman, Truthout: Without at least six Senate Democrats supporting them, Republicans cannot pass anti-diplomacy legislation in the Senate.
Laura Flanders | What Will It Take to End the War on Drugs?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29640-what-will-it-take-to-end-the-war-on-drugs
Laura Flanders, GRITtv: With marijuana legalization passing around the US, are we finally entering the last days of the War on Drugs?

http://truth-out.org/news/item/29641-university-of-oklahoma-students-mobilize-against-racism-as-two-fraternity-members-expelled-for-hate-video
Amy Goodman and Nermeen Shaikh, Democracy Now!: The University of Oklahoma has expelled two student fraternity members it says led a racist song caught on video. Members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are seen on a bus singing a song that includes a racial slur and a vow that no black people will ever join their group.
In the Age of Inequality, We Must Rethink the Education Status Quo
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29637-in-the-age-of-inequality-we-must-rethink-the-education-status-quo
Ruth Boyask, The Conversation: We must recognize and support meaningful learning that occurs outside of the authorized pathways to employment. This should support early childhood education in all its settings, work-based and vocational learning, and bring in informal learning and out-of-school activities.
World at a Crossroads: Fast Track and a Future of Global Corporate Rule
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29630-stop-the-fast-track-to-a-future-of-global-corporate-rule
Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, Occupy.com: Humankind is proceeding on a path to global corporate rule where transnational corporations would not just influence public policy, they would write the policies and vote on them. The power of nation-states and people to determine their futures would be weakened.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/29619-economic-update-housing-cities-and-suburbs

We also respond to questions on workers co-ops' competitiveness and on "unfree" agricultural markets. Finally, we interview Walter South on the economics of housing and the dangerous economics of US cities and suburbs.
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Peace Is Not Profitable Enough for the United States
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: Jesus, no doubt, would be turned away from visiting the State Department on a mission of peace, because nothing threatens the bloated and profitable military-industrial-surveillance complex like the prospect of an end to violent conflict.
