Dahr Jamail | "Imminent" Collapse of the Antarctic Ice Shelf and a "New Era" in the Arctic
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31089-imminent-collapse-of-the-antarctic-ice-shelf-and-a-new-era-in-the-arctic
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: As human-caused climate disruption progresses, recent scientific reports show the collapse of a massive Antarctic ice shelf is "imminent," changes in the Arctic Ocean are so profound scientists say the region is entering a "new era" and sea level rise is happening far faster than previously believed.
William Rivers Pitt | The Loved and the Lost: A Note to the Biden Family
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31085-the-loved-and-the-lost-a-note-to-the-biden-family
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Life has beaten Joe Biden with rocks. He has buried a wife and a baby daughter and now must bury a son. The passing of Beau Biden is a loss to the nation, but that pales in comparison to the loss being endured by Joe Biden and his family.
It Took Three to Out NSA Snooping on Us; Can We Really Afford to Lose Whistleblowers?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31095-it-took-3-to-out-nsa-snooping-on-us-can-we-really-afford-to-lose-whistleblowers
Marcy Wheeler, Truthout: James Bamford, Bill Binney and Edward Snowden risked all to convince the public and Congress that the NSA is spying on us, and now, a push is on to further discourage whistleblowers.
Dean Baker | The Federal Reserve Board's Payroll Tax on Our Children
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31090-the-federal-reserve-board-s-payroll-tax-on-our-children
Dean Baker, Truthout: If the Fed raises interest rates prematurely, it will be preventing most workers from sharing in the gains of economic growth. Instead of real wage gains, workers are likely to see their wages continue to stagnate, as they have done since the recession.
Holy Crop: How Federal Dollars Are Financing the Water Crisis in the West
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31086-holy-crop-how-federal-dollars-are-financing-the-water-crisis-in-the-west
Abrahm Lustgarten and Naveena Sadasivam, ProPublica: At a time when farmers in Arizona, California and other Western states might otherwise adapt to a water-short world, federal farm subsidies are helping preserve a system in which the thirstiest crops are grown in some of the driest places.
Will Cleveland's Consent Decree Grant Any Justice to Families and Victims of Police Brutality?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31110-will-cleveland-s-consent-decree-grant-any-justice-to-families-and-victims-of-police-brutality
Nicole Colson, Socialist Worker: The Justice Department has developed a pattern following high-profile incidents of police brutality: releasing reports about a city's policing outrages or announcing agreements for change in the wake of another failure of the system, but doing little to enforce actual accountability.
Charter Industry Strong-Arms Public Officials; $3.3 Billion Spent
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31082-part-v-charter-industry-strong-arms-public-officials-3-3-billion-spent
Jonas Persson, PR Watch: While charter schools pay lip service to "accountability," this rubric is rubber stamped by reviewers recruited from within the industry. Once a state has been awarded tens of millions of dollars, it is then monitored for compliance by a company with close ties to charter schools.
The Other Conspirator: Secret Origins of the CIA's Torture Program
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31092-the-other-conspirator-secret-origins-of-the-cia-s-torture-program-and-the-man-who-tried-to-expose-it
Barbara Myers, TomDispatch: Daniel Ellsberg became a 20th-century hero with the release of the Pentagon Papers, but Anthony Russo, the young accomplice who goaded Ellsberg to go public, has been nearly forgotten. Yet he was, according to Ellsberg, the first person to document the systematic torture of enemy combatants in Vietnam.
Resurgence of the "Surge" Myth
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31088-resurgence-of-the-surge-myth
Ray McGovern, Consortium News: Official Washington loves the story: The Iraq War was failing until President George W. Bush bravely ordered a "surge" in 2007 that won the war, but President Obama squandered the victory, requiring a new "surge" now. However, the narrative is a dangerous fiction.
More Top Heavy, More Republican: The 1% of the 1% Over Time
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31096-more-top-heavy-more-republican-the-one-percent-of-the-one-percent-over-time
Russ Choma, OpenSecrets: The .01 percent of the biggest donors of the 2014 election cycle includes wealthy individuals from both ends of the political spectrum, but there are relatively few in between, and the numbers at the extremes are growing. More money is coming from the right.
How Shorter Work Hours Can Help the Climate and Women's Equality
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31093-how-shorter-work-hours-can-help-the-climate-and-women-s-equality
Daniel Aldana Cohen, Labor Notes: "Work-time reduction, good part-time jobs, workplace flexibility - those are the crucial components for a 21st century union strategy that's both feminist and environmentally sustainable," says author and professor Tom Malleson.
How Sharing Your Success Is Perceived as Bragging
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31087-how-sharing-your-success-is-perceived-as-bragging
Irene Scopelliti, The Conversation: A recent study found that self-promoters overestimated the extent to which recipients of their self-promotion felt proud and happy for them and underestimated the extent to which recipients felt annoyed. Both parties - self-promoters and recipients - have trouble imagining how they would feel if their roles were reversed.
