From One Never Meant to Survive
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30623-from-one-never-meant-to-survive
Antonia Darder, Truthout: Author and professor Antonia Darder recalls her 30-year journey in academia as a working-class woman of color and how her deep sense of justice allowed her to survive and thrive in an institution that forced her to do battle with colonizing patriarchy, racism and class privilege.
San Francisco: The High Life of the Lowlifes
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30596-san-francisco-the-highlife-of-the-lowlifes
Paul Buhle, Truthout: Even if you weren't born and raised there, the aura of historic San Francisco, that heartland of US bohemia now almost thoroughly yuppified yet stubbornly gorgeous, offers a universal appeal. The Tenderloin, for its part, is more of an acquired taste.
Brazil's MST Pays Tribute to Landless Workers Killed by Police in 1996
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30620-brazil-s-mst-pays-tribute-to-landless-workers-killed-by-police-in-1996
Armando Carmona, Truthout: Landless rural workers occupy farms in Brazil to fulfill the promises of a people's agrarian reform movement. During "Red April," the Landless Workers Movement (MST) remembers the Eldorado dos Carajas massacre and pays tribute to 21 fallen comrades who were killed by state police.
Free to Be a Free Rider
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/30612-free-to-be-a-free-rider
Cedric de Leon, Cornell University Press: The North's victory in the US Civil War enabled political elites to forcibly subdue workers' collective attempts to address economic inequality under capitalism.
Higher Education Lobby Quietly Joins For-Profit Schools to Roll Back Tighter Rules
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30634-higher-education-lobby-quietly-joins-for-profit-schools-to-roll-back-tighter-rules
Alec MacGillis, ProPublica: For years, the higher education establishment has viewed the for-profit education business as both a rival and an unsavory relation. Yet in a striking but little-noticed shift, nearly all of the college establishment's representatives in Washington are siding with for-profit colleges in opposing the government's crackdown.
Suppressed at Home, Neglected Abroad: Ethiopian Migrants
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30642-suppressed-at-home-neglected-abroad-ethiopian-migrants
Graham Peebles, CounterPunch: The government of Ethiopia neglects and suppresses the people at home, and ignores and abandons them abroad. Fundamentally, they are in violation of their primary moral duty: to care for and protect their citizens, wherever they face intimidation, violence and abuse.
Fast-Track Bill Vote in Senate: Winter Is Coming
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30638-fast-track-bill-vote-in-senate-winter-is-coming
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: This is the big one. Fast track essentially pre-approves the Trans-Pacific Partnership before the public gets a chance to even know what is in the massive, still-secret trade agreement. If fast track passes, the Congress will have a limited time to vote.
The Inhuman Failure of "Austerity"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30640-the-inhuman-failure-of-austerity
David William Pear, Consortium News: Almost every modern democracy has done better than the US at providing good government for its people. The US consistently ranks far below more progressive countries on the United Nations Human Development Index, which measures health, education and equality of income.
Getting Past Scientized Scrutiny
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30648-getting-past-scientized-scrutiny
Maywa Montenegro de Wit and Alastair Iles, Earth Island Journal: Scientized reporting often fails to appreciate the nature of the regulatory science process. It's not about proving with absolute certainty that there is or isn't harm. Rather, because there are gaps in scientific knowledge, assessors look at whether there is evidence that tips the scale in one direction.
The Blue Amazon, Brazil's New Natural Resources Frontier
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30650-the-blue-amazon-brazil-s-new-natural-resources-frontier
Fabiola Ortiz, Inter Press Service: The Atlantic ocean is Brazil's last frontier to the east, but the full extent of its biodiversity is still unknown. Scientific research and conservation measures are lagging compared to the pace of exploitation of resources such as oil.

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>David William Pear, Consortium News:</strong> Almost every modern democracy has done better than the US at providing good government for its people. The US consistently ranks far below more progressive countries on the United Nations Human Development Index, which measures health, education and equality of income.</p>

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Maywa Montenegro de Wit and Alastair Iles, Earth Island Journal: </strong> Scientized reporting often fails to appreciate the nature of the regulatory science process.
