No Second Chances When It Comes to Housing
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29584-no-second-chances-when-it-comes-to-hou=
sing=20
Rebecca Burns, Truthout: Advocates are organizing against what they say is =
an overlooked civil rights issue: the exclusion of ex-offenders, overwhelmi=
ngly people of color, from public and subsidized housing. Many subsidized h=
ousing providers employ lifetime bans against people with criminal records,=
despite a stated commitment to "second chances" by the Department of Housi=
ng and Urban Development.
Scott Horton: How to Rein in a Secretive Shadow Government Is Our National =
Security Crisis
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/29636-scott-horton-how-to-rein-i=
n-a-secretive-shadow-government-is-our-national-security-crisis=20
Mark Karlin, Truthout: When public policy is made by unaccountable individu=
als and institutions in the name of "national security," voters are left in=
the dark and democracy is undercut, journalist Scott Horton, author of Lor=
ds of Secrecy, tells Truthout.
Greece's Syriza Government: Meet the New Sheriff - Same as the Old Sheriff
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29530-greece-s-new-syriza-government-meet=
-the-new-sheriff-same-as-the-old-sheriff=20
Michael Nevradakis, Truthout: Syriza was elected on the hope that it would =
represent a break from Greece's old political establishment and five years =
of austerity and neoliberal economic and political doctrine. Syriza has sin=
ce reversed many of its pre-election promises, agreeing to the continuation=
of harsh austerity policies and electing a conservative to the post of the=
national presidency.
Australia's Tea Party Crashes and Burns
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29544-australia-s-tea-party-crashes-and-b=
urns=20
Niall McLaren, Truthout: The first attempt to export the Tea Party has all =
but imploded. Angry voters have hit back at the Australian Liberal Party's =
doctrinaire adoption of brutal right-wing policies. There is a larger messa=
ge in this distant squabble.
Will New Mexico Double Down on Dirty Energy?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29645-will-new-mexico-double-down-on-dirty-e=
nergy=20
Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog: The future of energy development in New Mexico=
's Four Corners region is at a crossroads. The San Juan Generating Plant is=
slated to shut down half of its coal-burning capacity in 2017 and a new en=
ergy replacement plan must be decided upon.
Will Food Sovereignty Starve the Poor and Punish the Planet?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29646-will-food-sovereignty-starve-the-poor-=
and-punish-the-planet=20
Gilles Billen, Luis Lassaletta and Josette Garnier, Independent Science New=
s: Promoting self-sufficiency and food sovereignty does not compromise glob=
al food security and environmental quality. On the contrary, it is the best=
option for feeding humans and safeguarding the planet.=20
Why Isn't Sen. Kirk's "Chicago Will Become Detroit" Threat National News?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29647-why-isn-t-sen-kirk-s-chicago-will-b=
ecome-detroit-threat-national-news=20
Bruce A. Dixon, Black Agenda Report: Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk plainly threat=
ened the people of Chicago. If Rahm Emanuel was not re-elected mayor, he de=
clared, banksters and bond market investors concerned about the city's moun=
tain of debt would see that Chicago went the way of Detroit.
The New Face of Republican Women in Congress
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29648-the-new-face-of-republican-women-in-co=
ngress=20
Abby Scher, The Progressive: These Republican women owe their rise to the m=
oney men at the top of the party - not the activist, anti-abortion base. Th=
eir rise shows how the free market establishment within the party and on it=
s fringes seeks to groom and control a new "diverse" face for the GOP. =20
Victimwashing: Guns, Violence and the Politics of Whose Lives Matter
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29650-victimwashing-guns-violence-and-the=
-politics-of-whose-lives-matter=20
Julie Moreau, The Feminist Wire: Institutionally sanctioned sexual violence=
is why victims are often hesitant to report crimes committed against them.=
They fear secondary victimization - when the institutions that are purport=
edly there to protect and listen to them instead vilify them and maintain s=
exism and patriarchy.
Can Democracy Survive Aggressive Global Capitalism?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29651-can-democracy-survive-aggressive-globa=
l-capitalism=20
Lynn Parramore, The Institute for New Economic Thinking: British-born novel=
ist and author Rana Dasgupta raises concerns that India's economic rise has=
