Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Five years after BP's oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, those suffering physically and financially from it are suing Kenneth Feinberg, the attorney chosen by BP and the US government to administer compensation funds, alleging he misled claimants in order to limit BP's financial liability.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30319-gulf-fishermen-still-struggling-five-years-after-the-bp-spill
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Five years after BP's Deepwater Horizon rig spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, Truthout goes onboard a small fishing boat in the Gulf to find out how the catastrophic spill is still impacting families and the local economy.
The Canadian Ministry of "Truth": "Reality Is Whatever We Say It Is"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30270-the-canadian-ministry-of-truth-reality-is-whatever-we-say-it-is
Fred Guerin, Truthout: In George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984," the phrase "reality control" describes how the powerful create logic-denying, fact-free realities that happen to suit their interests. We now live in that world.
So Far, 2015 Is On Pace to Set Abortion Restriction Records
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30263-2015-on-pace-to-set-abortion-restriction-records
Katie Klabusich, Truthout: Only 12 percent of counties have an abortion provider, and state-level, anti-abortion provisions are being introduced at a record pace this year - 332 in 43 states. We are past the emergency point where every restrictive law costs people - especially the poor and already marginalized - their right to bodily autonomy.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30302-a-simple-progressive-economic-agenda-for-hillary-clinton-or-anyone-else
Dean Baker, Truthout: While many policies will be needed to improve the situation of the poor and middle class, there are three simple ones that could make a big difference: a more competitive dollar, a Federal Reserve Board committed to full employment and a financial transactions tax to rein in Wall Street.
This 4/20 Should Be a Wake-Up Call to End the Racist "War on Drugs"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30320-this-4-20-should-be-a-wake-up-call-to-end-the-racist-war-on-drugs
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: The war on drugs decimates communities of color, breaks apart families and brings violence into already poverty-stricken neighborhoods. It also makes problems associated with drug abuse worse because it passes the buck on to a prison system that doesn't know how to deal with addiction.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30299-how-the-federal-reserve-is-destroying-your-economic-future
Lynn Stuart Parramore, AlterNet: Economist Gerald Epstein and his colleague sought to find out who in the economy tends to benefit from the Fed's actions.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30307-climate-change-threatens-more-than-two-thirds-of-rabbit-species
Katie Leach, The Conversation: Climate change will have major effects on the ecology and distribution of many animal species. Now new research suggests that rabbits will be particularly hard hit as climatic changes alter their habitat over the coming decades.
Strategies of the 1% Revealed
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30303-strategies-of-the-one-percent-revealed
George Lakey, Waging Nonviolence: We often fail to notice the strategy game of the 1%. Knowing some of the favorite moves they make to achieve their goals will assist us as we stand up for justice, equality and life itself. Even in the United States, the 1% has lost some battles.
