ar Yet
http://truth-out.org/news/item/30063-melting-accelerates-in-antarctica-so-f=
ar-2015-is-hottest-year-yet
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: This month's Climate Disruption Dispatch brings repo=
rts on the Arctic and Antarctic, where record-breaking warm air and water t=
emperatures are releasing more ice than ever before. April 2015 could well =
mark the beginning of the end of the polar ice caps.
Phyllis "Grandma" Hardy Is Home! But Over 98,000 People Remain Prisoners of=
the Drug War
http://truth-out.org/news/item/29973-phyllis-grandma-hardy-is-home-but-over=
-98-000-people-remain-prisoners-of-the-drug-war
Victoria Law, Truthout: On March 19, 2015, after 23 years and five months i=
n prison, Phyllis Hardy was reunited with her family as a result of new com=
passionate release guidelines. But what about the 98,177 other people servi=
ng drug sentences in the federal prison system?
Playing Games With Reproductive Health Coverage
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/30000-playing-games-with-reproductive-hea=
lth
Eveline Shen, Truthout: The annual debate over the Hyde Amendment, which re=
stricts Medicaid coverage for abortions, provides us with an opportunity to=
see which of our lawmakers believe that being forced to carry a pregnancy =
to term is the price a woman should pay for being poor.
This Activist Went to Prison for the Climate; Now He Wants Churches to Take=
Moral Leadership
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/30066-this-activist-went-to-prison-for-th=
e-climate-now-he-wants-churches-to-take-moral-leadership
Tim DeChristopher, Harvard Divinity Bulletin: "Religious communities have p=
rimarily engaged with climate activism by getting behind the climate moveme=
nt =E2=80=A6 I suggest that we don't need religious communities merely to j=
oin the climate movement. We need religious communities to lead, challenge =
and deepen the climate movement."
Will Congress Be Duped Again on Offshore Taxes?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/30070-will-congress-be-duped-again-on-off=
shore-taxes
Sarah Anderson, OtherWords: While the rest of us are stuck paying the stick=
er price, Congress is considering a special deluxe tax rate for large corpo=
rations. A handful of corporate giants stand to reap the vast majority of b=
enefits from this trick.
Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders Back Iran Framework De=
al
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/30071-hillary-clinton-elizabeth-warren-an=
d-bernie-sanders-back-iran-framework-deal
Robert Naiman, Truthout: The question of whether Congress will blow up dipl=
omacy with Iran and put us on a path to another war is ultimately a questio=
n about Senate Democrats. Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sand=
ers have all welcomed the agreement, but there are many Democrats in the Se=
nate who are not yet on the diplomacy bandwagon.
Manhunters Inc.: How the Predator and Extrajudicial Execution Became Washin=
gton's Calling Cards
http://truth-out.org/news/item/30083-how-the-predator-and-extrajudicial-exe=
cution-became-washington-s-calling-cards
Gr=C3=A9goire Chamayou, TomDispatch: Drones as weapons and surveillance sys=
tems have evolved since their inception. They have transformed the classic =
"duel" between warriors into a "hunt" in which an all-seeing, lidless eye-i=
n-the-sky searches out distant humans below as its "prey."
Obama's Surveillance Reform Promises, One Year Later
http://truth-out.org/news/item/30074-obama-s-surveillance-reform-promises-o=
ne-year-later
Elizabeth (Liza) Goitein, Brennan Center for Justice: The surveillance expl=
osion means that small changes are not enough. Ultimately, we must measure =
the administration's efforts against where we need to be, not where we have=
been going. By that measure, Obama's reforms fall distressingly far from t=
he mark.
How Wall Street Used Swaps to Get Rich at the Expense of Cities
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/30072-how-wall-street-used-swaps-to-get-r=
ich-at-the-expense-of-cities
Ed Walker, Naked Capitalism: Dirty transactions have forced cities and stat=
es to cut essential services to pay off the financial sector. Why haven't c=
ities that have been hit hard by swaps losses fought back? Local officials =
have simply refused to take action against the mistreatment of their towns.

ntinues to rise amid a Saudi-led military campaign and clashes between Hout=
hi rebels and forces loyal to ousted President Abed-Rabbo Mansour Hadi. The=

d since Saudi Arabia launched a military campaign two weeks ago.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/30075-how-one-california-farmer-is-battling-=

Sena Christian, Ensia: The drought, in combination with a long-established =
government system for deciding who gets water and who does not, has split C=
