How Bobby Jindal Threw Reproductive Health Under the Bus for His Presidential Bid
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33669-how-bobby-jindal-threw-reproductive-health-under-the-bus-for-his-presidential-bid
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Louisiana has some of the nation's highest rates of STDs, HIV/AIDS cases and unintended pregnancies, but this hasn't stopped Gov. Bobby Jindal from blocking Medicaid expansion and attempting to cut off Planned Parenthood from federal funding in hopes of scoring presidential campaign points with GOP voters.
Hillary Clinton Goes Bush League
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33686-hillary-clinton-goes-bush-league
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: One day after the terrorist attacks in Paris, candidate Clinton invoked 9/11 to deflect attention from the ocean of Wall Street money her campaign enjoys. The tactic was not merely disgraceful. It was an insult to the world, and a bad flashback to the Bush years.
"We've Never Had Privacy": Hamid Khan on How the Surveillance State Impacts Marginalized Communities
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33679-we-ve-never-had-privacy-hamid-khan-on-how-the-surveillance-state-impacts-marginalized-communities
Laura Flanders, Truthout: Laura Flanders speaks with Hamid Khan, coordinator of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, about the history of the US surveillance-industrial complex and its profound but poorly understood present-day impacts on our political, structural, economic and social lives.
Drafting a Feminist Constitution
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/33681-drafting-a-feminist-constitution
Katherine Cross, The Feminist Press: Picture a constitutional convention not dominated by landowners, men, colonizers or the independently wealthy. Instead, picture a cybernetic congress harnessing the aspirations of all people, hashed out collectively, rebooting the constitutional enterprise with an entirely new syntax.
How the US and Saudi Arabia Aided Growth of the Islamic State
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33693-how-the-us-and-saudi-arabia-aided-growth-of-the-islamic-state
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Two days after the Paris attacks, President Obama met Saudi Arabia's King Salman for a bilateral meeting at the G20 summit in Turkey. The following day, the Pentagon revealed the US State Department has approved the sale of $1.29 billion in smart bombs to Saudi Arabia.
After Decades in a Food Desert, These Neighbors Are Building a $2 Million Co-op - and They Own It
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33680-after-decades-in-a-food-desert-these-neighbors-are-building-a-2-million-co-op-and-they-own-it
Liz Pleasant, YES! Magazine: For nearly 20 years, the residents of a mostly African-American Greensboro community in North Carolina had nowhere to shop for food. They tried to attract a big-box grocery store; when that didn't work, they started their own.
President Obama's Forum: High Theater on High Drug Prices
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33683-president-obama-s-forum-high-theater-on-high-drug-prices
Dean Baker, Truthout: The Obama administration is sponsoring a forum this week on the problem of high drug prices. It seems likely that the point is to quite literally express concern, as opposed to taking substantive steps toward addressing an enormous problem.
Republicans: Please Stop Helping ISIS
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33678-republicans-please-stop-helping-isis
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: ISIS, like all terrorist groups, thrives on backlash. It isn't just trying to win physical battles. It's trying to win propaganda battles, and for ISIS, the best propaganda victory is when it gets to portray itself as the sole protector of Muslims.
Let's Acknowledge That Russians Love Their Children Too
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33684-let-s-acknowledge-that-the-russians-love-their-children-too
Robert Naiman, Truthout: You don't have to love Russia to acknowledge that we have a common interest with Russia in opposing ISIS, just as you don't have to love Iran to acknowledge that we have a common interest with Iran in opposing ISIS.
AFRICOM's New Math, the US Base Bonanza and "Scarier" Times Ahead in Africa
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33685-africom-s-new-math-the-us-base-bonanza-and-scarier-times-ahead-in-africa
Nick Turse, TomDispatch: Much has been kept out of sight when it comes to Washington's expanding military focus on Africa, including the cascading number of US military missions across that continent, the soaring deployments of US Special Operations forces and the number of US military bases.
How to Tell the Difference
http://www.truth-out.org/art/item/33689-how-to-tell-the-difference
Jen Sorensen, Truthout: Some people want to pin the Paris attacks on an entire religion of 1.5 billion people, so this cartoon lays out the difference between ISIS and Muslims. One small difference: One is a murderer; the other is blamed for the murderer's atrocities.
The Golden Years Gap
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33682-the-golden-years-gap
Sarah Anderson, OtherWords: Ordinary workers under 50 can contribute no more than $18,000 per year to a 401(k). But most big companies offer special accounts that allow their top brass to set aside unlimited amounts of their pay tax-free until they retire.
