After Katrina, the Residents of New Orleans Saved Themselves
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/31344-after-katrina-the-residents-of-new-orleans-saved-themselves
Roberta Brandes Gratz, Nation Books: In this excerpt from We're Still Here Ya Bastards, Gratz demolishes the myth that Katrina was a "natural" disaster and details the overwhelming failure of the federal government and private contractors during and after the hurricane.
Abortion: A Right in Name Only?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31264-abortion-a-right-in-name-only
Nan Little Kirkpatrick, Truthout: By limiting access to abortion, we're saying that poor women do not deserve to have a full range of options to make determinations for their own futures. Isn't that ability at the very heart of the American ideal?
Can the Radical Left Become Relevant in Europe?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31303-can-the-radical-left-become-relevant-in-europe
C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout: The rise of Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain reveals that the radical left is still alive in Europe, but as many of these parties represent "left reformism," the extent to which they can pose a serious challenge to the European neoliberal system remains to be seen.
Left in the Brain: Potentially Toxic Residue From MRI Drugs
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31346-left-in-the-brain-potentially-toxic-residue-from-mri-drugs
Jeff Gerth, ProPublica: Experts are calling for more research into the possible health risks of MRIs, after three recent studies found that gadolinium, a potentially toxic metal, wound up in the brain tissue of MRI patients.
There Is No Budget Surplus in Wisconsin
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31350-there-is-no-budget-surplus-in-wisconsin
Jody Knauss and Mary Bottari, PR Watch: While Governor Walker jets around the nation touting his surpluses and budget acumen, the only topic in Wisconsin's state capitol is the massive deficit, the budget deadlock, and the harsh cuts that will be falling on students and Wisconsin's most vulnerable citizens.
Congress Gets 400,000 Signatures Demanding Debt-Free College
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31345-congress-gets-400-000-signatures-demanding-debt-free-college
Emily Foster, Campaign for America's Future: Higher education should lead, and typically has led, to a better life. But college students currently face more than $1.3 trillion of education debt in the US. It's likely that a majority of voters in this next election cycle will have that burden on their minds.
For AP, Being Shot by a Cop Makes You a Suspect
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31347-for-ap-being-shot-by-a-cop-makes-you-a-suspect
Janine Jackson, FAIR: The clearest glimpse into a media outlet's view of an issue comes not in the articles that directly engage it, but in the little throwaway descriptions - like in AP's June 8 wire report about the brutal policing incident at a Texas pool.
Cotton, Cashmere, Chemicals - What Really Goes Into Making Your Clothes?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31348-cotton-cashmere-chemicals-what-really-goes-into-making-your-clothes
Elizabeth Grossman, Ensia: We're a long way from complete transparency in terms of what goes into a finished piece of clothing or ensuring that all chemicals used in their production are non-toxic. We're equally far from overhauling supply chains to improve environmental footprints and chemical safety for everyone.
Grand Bargain Is Not So Grand
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31351-grand-bargain-is-not-so-grand
David Krieger, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: This is the 70th year since nuclear weapons were used on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are still over 16,000 nuclear weapons in the world. It is time to abolish these weapons before they cause irreversible damage to civilization.
Tightening Whose Belt?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31354-tightening-whose-belt
Josh Hoxie, OtherWords: Republican lawmakers are doing the bidding of the ultra-wealthy and leaving it to the new generation to pick up the pieces. Those of us who will be around long after these aging statesmen will inherit a nation that's unable to close this widening gap.
Nuclear Weapons Labs Hit With Sizable Fines for New Security Violations
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31352-nuclear-weapons-labs-hit-with-sizable-fines-for-new-security-violations
Patrick Malone, Center for Public Integrity: The Obama administration levied fines totaling nearly a million dollars this week against two of the nation's nuclear weapons laboratories, mostly for failing to keep track of classified materials and for repeatedly disclosing information related to nuclear weapons design in public presentations.
Economic Update: Higher Education in Crisis
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31342-economic-update-higher-education-in-crisis
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: This episode provides updates on unemployment numbers. We also respond to questions regarding the economics of lotteries and why the largest US corporations have recently used their profits to buy back their shares in stock markets. Finally, we interview socialist professor Sohnya Sayres.
