http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30721-transforming-the-wounds-of-war-a-veterans-retreat-with-claude-anshin-thomas
Camillo Mac Bica, Truthout: A Vietnam War veteran recounts his experience at a mindfulness and meditative practice retreat for veterans and their families, during which he came to realize that complete healing from war might not be possible, but its effects can be transformed through self-reflection and introspection.
Recognizing Genocide and Moving Toward Liberation: Not Counting Mexicans and Indians, Part II
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30954-recognizing-genocide-and-moving-toward-liberation-not-counting-mexicans-and-indians-part-ii
Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, Truthout: We must take a deeper look at US state violence against Brown and Indigenous people - how it amounts to a sort of low-intensity ethnic cleansing: a modern manifestation of the genocide of 1492.
Dean Baker | Bernie Sanders Takes It to Wall Street With Financial Transactions Tax
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30964-bernie-sanders-takes-it-to-wall-street-with-financial-transactions-tax
Dean Baker, Truthout: A financial transaction tax is a great way to raise large amounts of money to meet important public needs. It will come almost entirely at the expense of the financial industry and should strengthen the economy.
"Incommunicado" Forever: Gitmo Detainee's Case Stalled for 2,477 Days and Counting
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30963-incommunicado-forever-gitmo-detainee-s-case-stalled-for-2-477-days-and-counting
Raymond Bonner, ProPublica: Even though the torture was over, Abu Zubaydah's ordeal was just beginning. For nearly a decade, he's been shuttled around the world and held in legal limbo - even as hundreds of detainees have been transferred or released.
A Fossil-Fueled Fantasy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30962-a-fossil-fueled-fantasy
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Extracting coal from the ground and disposing of its toxic byproducts makes a dirty mess no matter how it's burned. But this "clean coal" ruse is conjuring up billions of dollars in government subsidies.
Success! Los Angeles Votes to Raise Minimum Wage to $15
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30965-success-l-a-votes-to-raise-minimum-wage-to-15
Chris Sosa, Care2: News of the Los Angeles wage hike comes alongside congressional Democrats' new bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $12 per hour by 2020, as the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour is inadequate to support a single individual in the US.
"There's Nothing Left": Women's Future Under the Conservatives in the United Kingdom
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30966-there-s-nothing-left-women-s-future-under-the-conservatives-in-the-uk
Dawn Foster, openDemocracy: Numbers aside, the outlook for women in the next government is far bleaker. Five years of cuts and austerity hit women in Britain far harder than men, with 80 percent of public spending cuts affecting women.
Farmers Fight Real Estate Developers for Kenya's Most Prized Asset: Land
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30967-farmers-fight-real-estate-developers-for-kenya-s-most-prized-asset-land
Miriam Gathigah, Inter Press Service: Farmers who have lived in Kenya for generations not only grow enough food to sustain their families, they also feed the entire community and comprise a vital link in the nation's food supply chain. Taking away their land, they say, will have far-reaching consequences.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30968-not-lovin-it-thousands-storm-mcdonald-s-hq-to-protest-low-wages
Terrance Heath, Campaign for America's Future: In the largest protest of its kind, thousands of McDonald's employees stormed the company's headquarters on May 20 to demand that it stop spending millions manipulating stock prices and start paying workers a living wage.

Staff, Corporate Europe Observatory: Corporate lobby groups were involved in the development of the European Commission's draft legislation on so-called "trade secrets." Such legislation is a threat to consumers, journalists, whistleblowers, researchers and workers.
