William Rivers Pitt | Mercy Is Ours to Give, if We Choose It
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30153-mercy-is-ours-to-give-if-we-choose-it
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Whether it be in a field captured by the shaky lens of a cell phone video or beneath the antiseptic straps of a table in a death chamber, the state does not have the moral right to kill an unarmed, defenseless person - even Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Medical Nemesis: The Cycle of Physician-Caused Anger, Despair and Death
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/29785-medical-nemesis-the-cycle-of-physician-caused-anger-despair-and-death
Bruce E. Levine, Truthout: Physicians exacerbate patients' problems - and sometimes even kill them - by not taking them seriously, diagnosing physical illness as psychiatric, claiming the disease is "in patients' heads," and then prescribing psychiatric treatment or drugs that may actually cause harm.
Listen, Yankee!: Tom Hayden Captures Absurdity of Cuban Embargo
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/30144-listen-yankee-tom-hayden-captures-absurdity-of-cuban-embargo
Patrick Glennon, Truthout: As tensions begin to cool between the two countries, the future would be better served with a comprehensive understanding of the history of US-Cuba relations. Tom Hayden's recent book, Listen, Yankee! Why Cuba Matters, tackles this tall order.
It's Not About a Wedding Cake: "Religious Freedom" Laws
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30106-it-s-not-about-a-wedding-cake-religious-freedom-laws
Stephanie Guilloud, Truthout: Fifty years after the passing of the Civil Rights Act, the same arguments used to justify Jim Crow segregation are being written into new drafts of old laws to allow discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community. These laws protecting religious exclusion expose the current crisis of democracy.
Pedro Rios Jr. Civil Suit: Chicago Police Struck 14-Year-Old With Car Prior to Fatal Shooting
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30152-pedro-rios-jr-civil-suit-chicago-police-struck-14-year-old-with-car-prior-to-fatal-shooting
Sarah Macaraeg, Truthout: Nine months after the fatal police shooting of their 14-year-old son, Laura and Pedro Rios Sr. filed a federal civil suit on April 9, alleging Chicago police officers struck Pedro Rios Jr. with their squad car before he was killed.
We Do This for Rekia
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30154-we-do-this-for-rekia
Kelly Hayes, Transformative Spaces: The trial of Dante Servin began in Chicago, but it has taken years of advocacy and struggle on the part of Rekia Boyd's family to bring her death by the police detective to the brink of some legal resolution.
Triassic Mass Extinction May Give Clues on How Oceans Will Be Affected by Climate Change
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30155-triassic-mass-extinction-may-give-clues-on-how-oceans-will-be-affected-by-climate-change
Jessica H. Whiteside, The Conversation: More than 200 million years ago, the end-Triassic mass extinction killed off more than half of all species on the planet. We are only just beginning to understand how this - and the period of runaway global warming that followed - changed the chemistry of open oceans.
New York City Public Housing: Fixing a Leak With a Bucket
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30158-new-york-city-public-housing-fixing-a-leak-with-a-bucket
Marian Wang, ProPublica: The New York City Housing Authority, the country's largest public housing agency, says it's made major progress responding to residents' requests for repairs. Residents tell a different story.
Hoosier Homophobia Crushed, Racism Continues On
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30156-hoosier-homophobia-crushed-racism-continues-on
Michael I. Niman, The Public: The response to Indiana's homophobia has been heartening. However, what's less inspiring (and really troubling) is the lack of any similarly effective movement to protect basic human and political rights for people of color.
The War Against Women Getting Paid Family Leave
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30157-the-war-against-women-getting-paid-family-leave
Meghan Byrd, Campaign for America's Future: States such as New Jersey and California have already implemented paid family leave. We can see positive economic benefits of requiring such programs that refute claims by critics that family leave policies are too expensive and bad for business.
This week in Speakout: RA Monaco deconstructs The New York Times' coverage of the Chicago Mayor runoff race and finds the hand of a behind-the-scenes press handler for Rahm Emanuel; Matt Peppe also focuses on The New York Times' reporting, examining the crimes the publication believes should go unpunished; Hilary Lewis urges California Gov. Jerry Brown to stop wasting California's water on fracking; Alexander Reid Ross highlights how the Wilderness Society sells out tar sands resisters in Utah; Center for Media and Democracy staff present a reporter's guide to ALEC's "Rich States, Poor States" report; Evaggelos Vallianatos reviews The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View From the Future, by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway; John Geyman argues for the abolition of the private health insurance industry; Quigley Media staff spotlight a new song released to help raise funds for the Beaver Lake Cree Nation's legal fight against tar sands; and more.
