Revisiting Hurricane Katrina: Racist Violence and the Politics of Disposabi=
lity
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32629-revisiting-hurricane-katrina-ra=
cist-violence-and-the-politics-of-disposability
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we were l=
ed to believe that the tragedy was the result of a natural disaster and gov=
ernment incompetence. Ten years later, such an assessment seems shortsighte=
d. Katrina launched a new era, rooted in racism, of the politics of disposa=
bility and the undoing of the social state.

Ladydrawers: ... Like Lupus
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32686-ladydrawers-like-lupus
Anne Elizabeth Moore and Sheika Lugtu, Truthout: This month, The Ladydrawer=
s' "Growing Season" looks at race and autoimmune disorders, focusing on the=
 illness known as lupus. The comic strip highlights the disproportionate im=
pact of lupus on women of color, and examines the role of Big Pharma in per=
petuating the condition.=20

The Revolution That Was Not Televised: Lessons From the Vietnam Antiwar Mov=
ement
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32692-the-revolution-that-was-not-televi=
sed-lessons-from-the-vietnam-antiwar-movement
Kar=C3=ADn Aguilar-San Juan and Frank Joyce, Just World Books: The US war i=
n Vietnam was the first televised war, but television alone did not create =
opposition to it. The antiwar movement, which included civil rights and rac=
ial justice activists, fomented and channeled opposition to the war, both f=
rom ordinary people and elites.

The Daunting Task of Decarceration
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32683-the-daunting-task-of-decarcerat=
ion
Nancy A. Heitzeg, Critical Mass Progress: We face enormous challenges in di=
smantling the sprawling prison industrial complex. Beyond the difficulty of=
 converting political rhetoric into any sort of legislative action, there a=
re the daunting realities of numbers, of focus and of profit. In confrontin=
g these problems, we must look beyond small reforms that reinforce the stat=
us quo.

How the Billionaire Kingpins of School Privatization Got Stopped in Their O=
wn Backyard
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32682-how-the-billionaire-kingpins-of-sc=
hool-privatization-got-stopped-in-their-own-back-yard
Kali Holloway, AlterNet: Following the introduction of a bill which would h=
ave expanded the potential for privatization of Arkansas' public school dis=
tricts, a unique coalition committed to public education mobilized. Recogni=
zing they were outspent, the collective out-organized the Walton lobby, kil=
ling the bill before it even passed out of committee.

How Neoconservatives Destabilized Europe
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32687-how-neoconservatives-destabilized-=
europe
Robert Parry, Consortium News: The neoconservative prescription of endless =
"regime change" is spreading chaos across the Middle East and now into Euro=
pe. Yet the neocons still control the mainstream US narrative, and thus hav=
e diagnosed the problem as not enough "regime change."

Montana's Fossil-Fuel Resistance Centers on Stewardship of Land
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32685-montana-s-fossil-fuel-resistanc=
e-gives-hope-at-the-edge-of-change
Sarah van Gelder, YES! Magazine: Montana ranchers, grandmothers, professors=
 and tribes are building ways of life that can sustain them, as well as the=
 land, water and soil. Unlike the hit-and-run companies looking to exploit =
the land, these people are taking responsibility to protect what's sacred.

Day of the Disappeared: Mexico Remembers the 43 Abducted Students
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32689-day-of-the-disappeared-mexico-r=
emembers-the-43-abducted-students
Cornelia Gr=C3=A4bner, The Conversation: Many states have renounced respons=
ibilities to their citizens to such an extent that they have created - or h=
ave failed to prevent - conditions that leave particular sectors of the pop=
ulation vulnerable to "enforced disappearance." The case of the 43 students=
 abducted in Guerrero, Mexico, is a perfect example.

Scientists Track Energy's "Fugitive Emissions" From Above
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32684-scientists-track-energy-s-fugitive=
-emissions-from-above
Sarah Tory, High Country News: Scientists are trying to understand what's r=
eleased from the nation's biggest energy-producing regions. By tracking "fu=
gitive emissions," such as methane, that leak into the atmosphere, research=
ers want to quantify those emissions and their effects on everything from t=
he quality of the air we breathe to how much and how fast the planet will w=
arm.

Mantra for 9/11: 14 Years Later, Improbable World
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32688-mantra-for-9-11-14-years-later-=
improbable-world
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: Fourteen years later, isn't it possible to thi=
nk of 9/11 as a mass grave into which significant aspects of American life =
as we knew it have been shoveled? Of course, the changes that came, especia=
lly those reinforcing the most oppressive aspects of state power, didn't ar=
rive out of the blue like those hijacked planes did.

Abby Martin, The Empire Files: This first episode of teleSUR's new series e=
