Migrants Are Drowning as They Flee War and Poverty; Will Europe Continue Its Sea Rescues?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32123-migrants-are-drowning-as-they-flee-war-and-poverty-will-europe-continue-its-sea-rescues
Michelle Chen, Truthout: Migrants are fleeing war and poverty across the Middle East and Africa, and now the mass migration itself has erupted into a full-blown humanitarian crisis. While a temporary expansion of European aid and search-and-rescue missions appears to have led to a decline in the migrant death rate, it's unclear whether these efforts will continue.
Michigan Supreme Court Upholds Right-to-Work Law, Takes Workers Back to the Gilded Age
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32149-michigan-supreme-court-upholds-right-to-work-law-takes-workers-back-to-the-gilded-age
Cedric de Leon, Truthout: Michigan's right-to-work law is about recreating the 19th century social order, when the working class was thwarted at every turn in their bid to challenge economic inequality under capitalism. Today, the Michigan Supreme Court made it possible to turn back the hands of time.
Women Are at the Forefront of the Zapatista Revolution
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/32089-women-are-at-the-forefront-of-the-zapatista-revolution
Hilary Klein, Seven Stories Press: People around the world have been inspired by images of Zapatista women, who have marched, organized and planted seeds - both real and symbolic. They have stood up to the Mexican army and to their own husbands. They have changed their own lives and they have changed the world around them.
Refusing to Comply With Structural Racism: From Emmett Till to Sandra Bland
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32150-refusing-to-comply-with-structural-racism-from-emmett-till-to-sandra-bland
Zachary Norris, Truthout: Those who are charged with protecting and serving us often demand that we comply with their orders or die if we are Black. As was the case for Emmett Till, Sandra's gravest misstep was violating the structurally racist order of things.
Happy 50th Birthday, Medicare! Next Steps in the Fight for Universal Health Care
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32132-happy-50th-birthday-medicare-next-steps-in-the-fight-for-universal-health-care
Robert Zarr, Truthout: In 1965, the authors of Medicare intended to create a social insurance fund to cover all Americans, not just seniors. We still need such a single-payer program. We have to go beyond the Affordable Care Act. Too many people are still suffering and dying prematurely.
Blowing the Whistle on ALEC's Little Brother ACCE - for Local Officials
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32135-blowing-the-whistle-on-alec-s-little-brother-acce
Nick Licata, PR Watch: ALEC created the American City County Exchange (ACCE) in 2014 as a separate organization for municipal officials. ACCE's founder and director, Jon Russell, intends to double membership every year and sees the potential to eventually exceed ALEC's numbers since there are thousands more local officials than state legislators.
Georgia Is Moving Children With Disabilities Into Schools Used During Jim Crow
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32137-georgia-is-segregating-children-with-disabilities-in-schools-used-during-jim-crow
Marian Wang, ProPublica: A Department of Justice investigation found that Georgia is giving thousands of kids with behavioral issues subpar educations and putting them in the same rundown buildings that served Black children decades ago.
Why We All Need to Learn the Word "Anthropogenic"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32139-why-we-all-need-to-learn-the-word-anthropogenic
Subhankar Banerjee, TomDispatch: That a lightning strike disqualifies the Paradise Fire in Washington's Olympic National Park from being "anthropogenic" - human-caused - would once have been a given, but in a world being heated by the burning of fossil fuels, such definitions have to be reconsidered.
Hidden Origins of Syria's Civil War
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32134-hidden-origins-of-syria-s-civil-war
Jonathan Marshall, Consortium News: In Syria as in Libya and Iraq, human rights became a convenient bludgeon for supporting the longstanding ambition of US neoconservatives to topple critical Arab regimes as part of their grand plan for remaking the map of the Middle East.
Four Ways the GOP Wants to Attack Planned Parenthood
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32141-four-ways-the-gop-wants-to-attack-planned-parenthood
Robin Marty, Care2: As the anti-abortion group "Center for Medical Progress" releases yet another new YouTube video, attacks on Planned Parenthood (and even independent abortion providers, too) continue. Here are just four of the latest ways the anti-abortion movement hopes to close them for good.
A Surveillance Bill in Cybersecurity Clothing
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32136-a-surveillance-bill-in-cybersecurity-clothing
Charlotte Lunday, Brennan Center for Justice: The privacy of millions has been compromised. Now the Senate is poised to consider a bill that purportedly will enhance protection, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA). Don't let the name fool you. CISA is a surveillance bill masquerading as cybersecurity reform.
Working for the Man: A New Way to Build Community Economy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32144-working-for-the-man-a-new-way-to-build-community-economy
Stephanie Rearick, Other Worlds: Timebanking works beautifully for growing informal community economies, but it can't do everything. A more cooperative, decentralized alternative to help resources flow within and between our communities is forming, called a Mutual Aid Network.
