Dahr Jamail | Experts Warn of "Cataclysmic" Changes as Planetary Temperatures Rise
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30449-experts-warn-of-cataclysmic-changes-as-planetary-temperatures-rise
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: As California's epic drought worsens, every day is considered "fire season," record temperatures are set in the Antarctic and the majority of glaciers in Canada are expected to be gone by the end of the century. According to recent studies, we are at the very beginning of a period of "abrupt" climate disruption.
"Squatters in Our Own Cities": The Displacement of Sri Lanka's Populations
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30432-the-displacement-of-sri-lanka-s-rural-and-urban-populations
Derek Monroe, Truthout: Despite the end of Sri Lanka's civil war in 2008 and the surprise of the January 8, 2015, election where the incumbent autocratic government of Rajapaksa was voted out of power, many issues remain. For example, return of expropriated land and full political enfranchisement remain elusive.
Ellen Brown | The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Death of the Republic
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30448-the-trans-pacific-partnership-and-the-death-of-the-republic
Ellen Brown, The Web of Debt Blog: The Trans-Pacific Partnership is blatantly unconstitutional. Neoliberalism and corporate contributions seem to have blinded the deal's proponents so much that they cannot see they are selling out the sovereignty of the United States to foreign and multinational corporations.
A Chronicle of Woe: US Policing Culture From Iraq and Vietnam to Jon Burge's Chicago
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30460-a-chronicle-of-woe-us-policing-culture-from-iraq-and-vietnam-to-jon-burge-s-chicago
Cary Fraser, Truthout: Given the recent report from The Washington Post on the number of people killed in US police shootings over the last decade, there is an obvious need for police training and the culture of policing to move beyond current practice and operations.
Arab-American and Muslim-American Opposition Could Stop "Fast-Track" Trade Bill
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30461-arab-americans-and-muslim-americans-should-oppose-fast-track-trade-bill
Robert Naiman, Truthout: We can safely say that there are millions of Americans who identify as Arab, Muslim or both. If a big chunk of these people decided to engage Washington to move US policy toward the Palestinians in the direction of more justice, could they have an impact?
Awaiting Justice: Indigenous Resistance in the Tar Sands of Canada
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30443-awaiting-justice-indigenous-resistance-in-the-tar-sands-of-canada
Melina Laboucan-Massimo, 50.50: The Nation of the Lubicon Cree is on the front lines of environmental destruction in Alberta, Canada, as it challenges the forces behind resource extraction and environmental and cultural genocide, and seeks justice for all.
The Battle Over the Trans-Pacific Partnership and "Fast Track" Gets Hot
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30441-the-battle-over-the-trans-pacific-partnership-and-fast-track-gets-hot
Dean Baker, Truthout: President Obama must be having trouble getting the votes for fast-track authority since the administration is now pulling out all the stops to push the deal. This has included a press call where he apparently got testy over the charge by critics that the Trans-Pacific Partnership is a secret trade deal.
Can You Really Be GM-Free? Why New European Laws Pose a Moral Dilemma
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30445-can-you-really-be-gm-free-why-new-european-laws-pose-a-moral-dilemma
Mary Dobbs, The Conversation: Public morality might justify a general ban on genetically modified food, but banning GM food only would appear hypocritical. If public morality justifies a national ban on GM food, why is no such ban required for GM feed and GM crops?
As President Obama Apologizes for Deaths of Hostages in Drone Strike, Does the US Know Who It Is Killing?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30457-as-obama-apologizes-for-deaths-of-hostages-in-drone-strike-does-the-us-know-who-it-is-killing
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: A US drone strike in Pakistan has reportedly accidentally killed two hostages who were being held captive by al-Qaeda. The White House says US government contractor Warren Weinstein and Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto were killed.
Forty Years Later, Will the End Games in Iraq and Afghanistan Follow the Vietnam Playbook?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30447-how-to-turn-a-nightmare-into-a-fairy-tale-40-years-later-will-the-end-games-in-iraq-and-afghanistan-follow-the-vietnam-playbook
Christian Appy, TomDispatch: If our wars in the greater Middle East ever end, it's a pretty safe bet that they will end badly - and it won't be the first time. The "fall of Saigon" in 1975 was the quintessential bitter end to a war.
Wolf in Sheep's Skin? On the Use and Abuse of Volunteerism, AKA Unpaid Labor
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30444-in-sheep-s-skin-on-the-use-and-abuse-of-volunteerism-aka-unpaid-labour
Ana-Maria Dima, New Left Project: Political and social pressure to volunteer is on the rise. Charities are now relying on volunteer work to deliver state subcontracted services. It is time to question this trend and what it means for the rising percentage of unemployed people who are pushed into working for free.
The Divestment Dividend
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30446-the-divestment-dividend
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Students, professors and alumni are increasingly telling their schools to put their money where their mission is by shunning oil, gas and coal assets. Investors who refuse to put their money into fossil fuels may reap financial gains for doing the right thing.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: We Spend $2 Billion a Year on Congress
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30451-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-we-spend-2-billion-a-year-on-congress-and-more
In today's On the News segment: We spend about $2 billion every year on our dysfunctional Congress; one woman in Texas says that she can use a so-called religious freedom law to feed the homeless; Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her colleagues sent a letter to the FCC asking that agency to reject the proposed Comcast-Time Warner merger; and more.
