Why Is Apple Lying About Powering Its Data Centers With Renewable Energy?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32208-why-is-apple-lying-about-powering-=
its-data-centers-with-renewable-energy
Nicki Lisa Cole, Truthout: Apple claims that its data centers are powered b=
y "100 percent renewable energy," but an investigation into its facility in=
 Maiden, North Carolina, reveals that it is powered by a mix of nuclear, co=
al and natural gas.

Opal Tometi on Building a Transnational Movement for Black Lives
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32222-opal-tometi-on-building-a-transnat=
ional-movement-for-black-lives
Laura Flanders, Truthout: Opal Tometi, who cofounded Black Lives Matter, sa=
ys the movement was always conceived of as a strategic response to white su=
premacy. It's not just an organizing network, but also a strategic concept =
broad enough to go beyond borders.

Kafka's Last Laugh
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32223-kafka-s-last-laugh
Vagabond, AK Press: "Octavia's Brood" collects short pieces of "visionary f=
iction" that include fantasy and sci-fi, comedy and horror, united by a des=
ire to explore new ways of understanding ourselves and our world. This shor=
t story imagines the next stage in the fusion of capitalism, state repressi=
on and the punitive legal system - and what could disrupt it.

The War on Planned Parenthood Is Also an Assault on Poor Women of Color
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32226-the-war-on-planned-parenthood-is-a=
lso-an-assault-on-poor-women-of-color
Michelle Chen, The Nation: Our elected representatives have taken to the ai=
rwaves to proclaim they are extremely concerned with the fate of discarded =
fetal tissue. The fate of the health of poor women? Not so much. Planned Pa=
renthood is just one of many recipients of a federal funding stream that is=
 coming under increasing political threat.

Meet the Hedge Funders and Billionaires Who Pillage Under the Shield of Phi=
lanthropy
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32227-meet-the-hedge-funders-and-billion=
aires-who-pillage-under-the-shield-of-philanthropy
Lynn Parramore, AlterNet: Hedge fund managers claim they deserve to pay a s=
pecial low tax rate on the money they earn overseeing the funds they manage=
 because it's not guaranteed. So they pay 20 percent instead of the 39.6 pe=
rcent they would pay if the money were taxed as ordinary income. The loopho=
le makes absolutely no economic or social sense.

Joel Greenberg, McClatchy DC: Israel's parliament recently passed a controv=
ersial law authorizing the force-feeding of hunger-striking Palestinian pri=
soners, drawing swift condemnation from the country's medical association, =
which called the practice torture.

Anita Kumar, McClatchy DC: According to a new poll, if the American people =
had a vote in picking a woman to put on the redesigned $10 bill, they would=
