Greed Dies Hard in a Poisoned Land
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32389-greed-dies-hard-in-a-poisoned-land
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: We are killing ourselves with coal, with chemicals, with carelessness and with greed. The people behind all this don't care, and won't care until they are made to. Greed dies hard, even when the rivers have turned to soot and the tap water catches fire.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32393-the-politics-of-fear-why-donald-trump-is-no-laughing-matter
William C. Anderson, Truthout: Donald Trump's success in the polls and his presidential campaign momentum have made his opponents take him more seriously. He should be taken seriously not only as a political threat, but also as someone who embodies the racist underbelly of US politics.

Julia Angwin and Jeff Larson, ProPublica: Internal National Security Agency documents describe a nearly unavoidable surveillance system on AT&T's internet backbone in the United States.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32395-obama-fights-to-continue-detention-of-migrant-families
Lauren Carasik, teleSUR English: Five migrant mothers filed court papers this month seeking millions in damages from the government for psychological and physical harms associated with their detention. These mothers and children in family detention are vulnerable asylum seekers who fled violence in their home countries.
Along the Atlantic Coast, Resistance to Oil and Gas Drilling Grows
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32398-drive-to-drill-growing-resistance-to-atlantic-oil-and-gas-drilling
Sue Sturgis, Facing South: The movement to stop offshore drilling will face formidable opposition as the alliance of pro-drilling governors and oil industry lobbyists continues its efforts to influence the final five-year offshore leasing plan set to be released next year. But the coalition fighting the drive to drill believes it has momentum on its side.
Trump Migrant Proposals Could Be "Catastrophic" to Both the US and Mexico
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32409-trump-migrant-proposals-could-be-catastrophic-to-both-the-us-and-mexico

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32396-propaganda-intelligence-and-malaysia-airlines-flight-17
Ray McGovern, Consortium News: Propaganda is the lifeblood of life-destroying wars, and the US government has reached new heights (or depths) in this art of perception management. A case in point is the media manipulation around the shooting down of a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine last year.
Why Republicans Vote for Bernie
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32391-why-republicans-vote-for-bernie

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32405-meet-the-whistleblower-who-exposed-the-secret-room-at-t-used-to-help-the-nsa-spy-on-the-internet
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Mark Klein, a technician with AT&T for 22 years, blew the whistle on AT&T's cooperation with the National Security Agency in 2006.
