China's Communist-Capitalist Ecological Apocalypse
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31478-china-s-communist-capitalist-ecological-apocalypse
Richard Smith, Truthout: China's hybrid economy and market reforms have compounded the irrationalities of the old bureaucratic collectivist system with the irrationalities of capitalism - resulting in a ruinous "miracle" economy. The country's environmental crisis is much worse than what has resulted from "normal" capitalism everywhere else.
Resistance Is Needed to End Corporate Toxic Zones
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/31454-resistance-is-needed-to-end-corporate-toxic-zones
Mark Karlin, Truthout: Corporations slither through lax regulations and take advantage of poor people and people of color around the world to create zones of toxicity and exploitation. Erik Loomis, author of Out of Sight, talks about how corporations, in the end, create catastrophe.
School's Out for Summer, but Camp Is Expensive and Jobs for Youth Are Few
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31376-school-s-out-for-summer-but-camp-is-expensive-and-jobs-for-youth-are-few
Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout: Federal funding for summer youth employment programs has been slashed, leaving cities scrambling for private dollars. Meanwhile, parents of younger children send their kids to camp if they can afford to, while those who lack financial means flock to local libraries for free programs and services.
Surviving White Terrorism: Next Steps in the Struggle for Black Lives
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31480-surviving-white-terrorism-next-steps-in-the-struggle-for-black-lives
Dante Barry, Truthout: "Even in some of the 'safest' spaces, our Black children are told that they cannot breathe, pray, eat skittles, wear a hoodie, play loud music or even exist as a Black child. I'm sorry that Black families must frame their conversations with their children around survival."
Gen. Lee Butler to Nuclear Abolition Movement: "Don't Give Up"
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31479-general-lee-butler-to-nuclear-abolition-movement-don-t-give-up
Robert Kazel, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: The former head of US Strategic Nuclear Forces, Gen. Lee Butler, discusses his views on how anti-nuclear organizations today can survive and exert influence in a world that often appears apathetic.
On Remembrance and Resisting Desecration
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31477-on-remembrance-and-resisting-desecration
Kelly Hayes, Transformative Spaces: Neither the Black community, nor its allies, will be beaten into silence by violence and intimidation. The resilience of the oppressed in the United States is a testament to the greatness of marginalized people, and nowhere is this more true than within the Black community.
For Father's Day: Strong Communities, Caring People
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31487-for-father-s-day-strong-communities-caring-people
Ramon Juan Vasquez, Equal Voice News: Being a father is an honor. Fatherhood calls upon men to be responsible not only to their children, but also to their culture and community. That responsibility is lifelong. It is a life way.
Kids Are Paying the Price for Yemen's War
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31482-kids-are-paying-the-price-for-yemen-s-war
Belkis Wille, Foreign Policy in Focus: Helping Yemeni children get back to school will be far from easy while the fighting continues. But the laws of war obligate all parties to a conflict to take special care to minimize harm to civilians and civilian structures, and that includes children and schools.
Prepaid Meters Are Obstacles to Accessing Water in Africa
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31481-prepaid-meters-are-obstacles-to-accessing-water-in-africa
Jeffrey Moyo, Inter Press Service: Despite UN recognition that water is a human right, international financial institutions such as the World Bank argue that water should be allocated through market mechanisms to allow for full cost recovery from users, and civil society activists blame capitalist tendencies for necessitating the advent of prepaid water meters.
Preserving the Social Fabric: Southern Community Development Financial Institutions
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31485-preserving-the-social-fabric-southern-community-development-financial-institutions
The Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation Staff, Facing South: Funding from government, foundations and individual donors allows Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to improve access to small business capital, affordable housing and personal savings. All over the South, CDFIs and credit unions are filling the yawning gaps left by big banks.
Concocting a Crime-Ageddon to Promote Police Power
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31484-concocting-a-crime-ageddon-to-promote-police-power
Josmar Trujillo, FAIR Blog: The underlying truth that media take for granted is that more police = less crime. But is that true? The tactic's correlation with crime would suggest, if anything, an inverse relationship - the opposite of what the front page of the New York Post would have its readers believe.
Our "Stealth Politics" of Inequality
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31486-our-stealth-politics-of-inequality
Sam Pizzigati, Too Much: "Billionaires can influence what happens in politics without any accountability," says political scientist Benjamin Page. "They don't even have to answer questions from journalists about why they favor what they favor. And that's a serious problem for democracy."
Unhappy Meals
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31483-unhappy-meals
Jill Richardson, OtherWords: "Instead of putting lipstick on a factory-farmed pig, why not switch to serving more ethical foods? I have no love for the chain, but I hope McDonald's new marketing gurus guide them toward real change, and not just a new advertising campaign."
This week in Speakout: The Center for Constitutional Rights lawsuit reveals that the FBI retaliated against Muslims who refused to spy for them by putting them on the no-fly list; Christopher Zoukis argues for restoring the vote to convicted felons; Survival International describes how a Chinese-built transcontinental railway threatens Indigenous communities in Brazil and Peru; John Geyman explains the scam of privatized Medicaid "managed care"; Jesse Hagopian dreams of an education for his kindergarten-age son that prioritizes learning and the child's needs over test-taking; Patricia Canaday writes about New Hampshire organizing against the Northeast Direct Energy Pipeline; David Berggren details how the case of Ukrainian billionaire Dmitry Firtash exposes the hypocrisy of the US criminal legal system; and more.
