Orwell, Huxley and the Scourge of the Surveillance State
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31639-orwell-huxley-and-the-scourge-of-the-surveillance-state
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: Through our actions we have acquiesced to government and corporate spying, and every day we consent to give up our online privacy. In the face of this widespread collective indifference, what will stem the growth of surveillance culture and the violent, authoritarian state?
Supreme Court Tosses EPA Rules That Would Prevent Thousands of Asthma Cases
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31652-supreme-court-tosses-epa-rules-that-would-prevent-thousands-of-asthma-cases
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: The Environmental Protection Agency's rules limiting the amount of toxic pollution power plants can spew into the air would have prevented thousands of cases of asthma, birth defects and other health problems, especially in marginalized communities - but the Supreme Court has stopped the rules' implementation.
Legalized Torture: Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Cruel Lethal Injections
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31656-legalized-torture-supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-cruel-lethal-injections
Erin Haney, Truthout: In the Supreme Court's recent ruling to uphold the use of a controversial execution protocol in Oklahoma, both the majority's opinion and the dissent show that the government cannot morally decide when to engage in the state-sanctioned murder of its citizens.
Ruling Against "Three Strikes" Sentencing Law Opens Door to Reform
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31642-supreme-court-rules-against-three-strikes-federal-sentencing-law-provision-opens-door-for-further-reform
Nicole D. Porter, Truthout: The recent decision in Johnson v. United States reinforces the need to address sentencing policies that have lengthened prison terms and contributed to mass incarceration. It raises opportunities for state sentencing reform, as well.
Charleston Massacre Forces White Nationalists Out of the Shadows
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31609-charleston-massacre-forces-white-nationalists-out-of-the-shadows
Bill Berkowitz, Truthout: White nationalists, comfortable with carrying out their business in the shadows, have been dragged into the spotlight thanks to Dylann Roof's Charleston massacre. Roof may have acted alone, but his actions have forced the white nationalist movement to more immediately deal with its crisis of identity.
The State(s) of the Affordable Care Act
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31631-the-state-s-of-the-affordable-care-act
Susan Sered, Truthout: It's time to turn President Obama's declaration that health care is a right, not a privilege, into a reality, even in states with leaders who would rather thumb their noses at the feds than allow residents of their state to access the care that they need to remain healthy.
Historic Iran Nuclear Deal Hangs in the Balance as Talks Enter Final Round
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31650-historic-iran-nuclear-deal-hangs-in-the-balance-as-talks-enter-final-round
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Today marks the deadline to reach a comprehensive agreement on curbing Iran's nuclear program, but the talks will likely be extended. The outstanding differences include access to international inspectors and Iranian nuclear activity in the deal's final years. Negotiators are also trying to determine the timing of sanctions relief and the scope of Tehran's nuclear research.
Greece Doesn't Have to End Up a "Failed State"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31636-greece-doesn-t-have-to-end-up-a-failed-state
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: There may be another off-ramp from the road to ruin for Greece. The country could abandon the euro and issue its own currency to keep cash flowing, but there's not much news in the fact that most Greeks favor keeping the euro.
Protest Is the New Terror: How US Law Enforcement Is Working to Criminalize Dissent
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31641-protest-is-the-new-terror-how-us-law-enforcement-is-working-to-criminalize-dissent
Derek Royden, Occupy.com: The unique moment created by anti-police brutality protests throughout the United States reveals that federal agencies, working with local police, have directed their resources as much against protesters, dissenters and those practicing civil disobedience as they have against the threat represented by terrorists.
Thousands Kept in Solitary Confinement in Illinois Prisons
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31647-thousands-kept-in-solitary-confinement-in-illinois-prisons
Olivia Exstrum, The Chicago Reporter: A class-action lawsuit filed this week is challenging the widespread use of solitary confinement by the Illinois Department of Corrections. About 2,300 state prisoners are kept in solitary confinement, often for relatively minor offenses.
World's Forests Are Fragmenting Into Tiny Patches, Risking Mass Extinctions
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31640-world-s-forests-are-fragmenting-into-tiny-patches-risking-mass-extinctions
David Edwards, The Conversation: Global forest fragmentation reduces biodiversity by up to 75 percent. This exacerbates the extinction risk of millions of forest species, many of which we still don't know much about. The shock waves of loss thus extend far beyond the footprint of deforestation.
Where Are Mayors Opposing Police Militarization?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31649-where-are-mayors-opposing-police-militarization
Janet Weil, Chelsea Byers and Michelle Pineiro, CODEPINK: With the call to reform law enforcement at a local level echoing throughout communities nationwide, and President Obama announcing his own plan for reform, surely some mayor would step up to champion this cause, right? Not a single mayor has stepped up.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Agricultural Runoff Is Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31655-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-the-hague-says-climate-action-is-a-human-right-and-more
In today's On the News segment: The Hague District Court recently ruled that the Dutch government has a legal duty to cut carbon emissions by 25 percent by 2020; a new document proves that TEPCO did not do everything in its power to protect the Fukushima nuclear power plant, even after it learned of the risks; agricultural runoff is poisoning the Gulf of Mexico; and more.
