Landlords in LA Push for Tenants to Bear Costs of Earthquake Retrofits
www.truth-out.org/news/item/32649-landlords-in-la-push-for-tenants-to-bear-=
costs-of-earthquake-retrofits
Daniel Ross, Truthout: Nationwide, rent increases continue to outpace wage =
growth, with LA proving no exception to that rule as the most unaffordable =
rental market in the nation. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti's plan to earthquake re=
trofit thousands of vulnerable buildings will impose another heavy toll on =
the city's lowest-income renters if, as many have suggested, tenants should=
er the full cost of the retrofits.

The Hypocrisy of Criticizing the Confederate Flag While Whitewashing US For=
eign Policy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32656-the-hypocrisy-of-criticizing-th=
e-confederacy-while-whitewashing-us-foreign-policy
Bruno J=C3=A4ntti, Truthout: The US debate on the acceptability of various =
political insignia is absorbing not only for what it focuses on, the Confed=
erate flag, but also for what it omits. The US flag represents the governme=
nt's poor human rights record and ongoing militarism abroad.

Latin America's Open Veins: From Brutal Colonialism to Exploitative Neolibe=
ralism
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/32620-latin-america-from-bru=
tal-conqueror-colonialism-to-exploitative-neoliberalism
Eduardo Galeano, Monthly Review Press: In this world of ours, a world of po=
werful centers and subjugated outposts, there is no wealth that must not be=
 held in some suspicion. In the years since the first edition of "Open Vein=
s of Latin America", history has not ceased to be a cruel mistress to us.

Why the Clean Power Plan Isn't a Death Knell for Coal
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32653-why-the-clean-power-plan-isn-t-a-d=
eath-knell-for-coal
Cally Carswell, High Country News: President Obama's plan isn't a certain d=
eath blow for the oldest power plants in the Western United States. That's =
partly because a number of those units are already slated for closure. Any =
shutdowns after 2012 will count toward the 2030 targets and could go a long=
 way toward helping to meet them.

Web of Secrecy Surrounds Federal Half-a-Billion Handout to Charter Schools
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32655-web-of-secrecy-surrounds-federal-h=
alf-a-billion-handout-to-charter-schools
Jonas Persson, PR Watch: The US Department of Education is poised to spend =
half a billion dollars to help create new charter schools, while the public=
 is being kept in the dark about which states have applied for the lucrativ=
e grants, and what their actual track records are.

esident
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32659-nobel-laureate-rigoberta-menchu-ce=
lebrates-jailing-of-ex-guatemalan-president
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonz=C3=A1lez, Democracy Now!: In Guatemala, Otto P=C3=
=A9rez Molina has been jailed on charges of corruption only hours after he =
resigned as president, bowing to massive popular protest. Mayan activist Ri=
goberta Mench=C3=BA, is calling for Molina to be tried for commanding troop=

Job Growth Weakens in August
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32657-job-growth-weakens-in-august
Dean Baker, Center for Economic and Policy Research: The Labor Department r=
eported that the economy added 173,000 jobs in August, somewhat less than m=
ost predictions. However, the prior two months' numbers were revised upward=
 by 44,000, bringing the average gain over the last three months to 221,000=

The GOP Is Taking the Texas Women's Health Crisis National
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32652-the-gop-is-taking-the-texas-women-=
s-health-crisis-national
Andrea Flynn, Next New Deal: Texas lawmakers might have blazed the trail in=
 steamrolling reproductive health access, ignoring the cost to the health a=
nd lives of their constituents. It's clear that others are eager to follow =
the same path, methodically whittling away at the reproductive health infra=
structures.

Trump's No Outlier
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32654-trump-s-no-outlier
Donald Kaul, OtherWords: Trump is the quintessential Republican politician =
- he's just willing to say out loud what the rest say only in private. Thin=
k Mitt Romney and his infamous "47 percent" remarks, which Romney intended =
for a fat-cat Republican audience only.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32650-when-not-to-listen-to-a-columnist-=
the-dyett-hunger-strikers-must-be-heard
Alan Mills, Transformative Spaces: Eric Zorn, an op-ed columnist and daily =
blogger for the Chicago Tribune, wrote a piece criticizing the tactics and =
aims of Chicagoans who have gone on a hunger strike to save Dyett High Scho=
ol. His dismissal of the issues facing the community reeks of white privile=

Central American "Springs" Foregone
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32658-central-american-springs-foregone
Cyril Mychalejko, teleSUR English: The international media is portraying th=
e recent wave of anti-corruption, pro-democracy protests in Guatemala and H=
onduras as part of a Central American spring. This so-called spring is figh=
ting against structural corruption, violence and impunity that is largely d=
ue to US meddling.
