Governors Have No Right to Exclude Syrian Refugees
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33726-governors-have-no-right-to-exclude-syrian-refugees
Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: Following the Paris attacks, more than half of US governors have said they will refuse to admit Syrian refugees to their states. But only the federal government has the power to decide if and where refugees can settle in the country.
Involuntary Hospitalization of Drug Users Is Bad Policy
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33719-involuntary-hospitalization-of-drug-users-is-bad-policy
Susan Sered, Truthout: Massachusetts seems likely to adopt legislation that would allow doctors to hospitalize drug users, involuntarily and without a court order, for 72 hours. The policy would violate users' due process rights and open the door for other serious human rights abuses.
The Islamic State's Dream: A Post-Paris "Clash of Civilizations"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33724-the-islamic-state-s-dream-a-post-paris-clash-of-civilizations
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: The Islamic State's goal is "the extinction of the gray zone" in our world. In other words, they seek the sharpening of distinctions everywhere, which means the opening of abysses where complexity and interaction once existed. Their dream is to live in a black-and-white world.
The "Sharing Economy" Is the Problem
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33720-the-sharing-economy-is-the-problem
Brian Van Slyke and David Morgan, Grassroots Economic Organizing: It's unfortunate that the misnamed "sharing economy" is really just a front for millionaires and billionaires to opportunistically ride off the backs of everyday people, while also exacerbating many economic inequalities. The cooperative economy is the solution.
Glenn Greenwald: "Shameless" US Officials Exploit Paris Attacks to Defend Spying and Attack Snowden
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33729-glenn-greenwald-shameless-us-officials-exploit-paris-attacks-to-defend-spying-and-attack-snowden
Amy Goodman and Nermeen Shaikh, Democracy Now!: As France and Belgium move to expand state power in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, top US officials have renewed a push to defend mass surveillance and dismiss those who challenge it. FBI Director James Comey has said officials need access to encrypted information.
Another Money Is Possible: Holland Leads Experiment in Basic Income
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33721-another-money-is-possible-holland-leads-experiment-in-basic-income
Steve Rushton, Occupy.com: The relationship between money and work seems increasingly defunct. Echoing this idea, the Netherlands is seeing a revolution around money that is already getting underway, as the Dutch seek trial schemes that include basic income principles.
Support Strengthens to Stop Oil and Gas Development to Keep Florida's Everglades Wild
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33725-support-strengthens-to-stop-oil-and-gas-development-to-keep-florida-s-everglades-wild
Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog: A growing coalition of Indigenous tribes, environmental groups and concerned citizens are fighting the creation of the River of Grass Greenway, a bike path that would connect Naples to Miami. Stopping the path is a move to keep what is still wild in the Everglades, wild.
On Anti-Refugee Bill, New York Times Embraces Paul Ryan's Spin
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33733-on-anti-refugee-bill-the-new-york-times-embraces-paul-ryan-s-spin
Robert Naiman, Truthout: By embracing Paul Ryan's spin that the bill "technically does not suspend the refugee program, providing Republicans some cover from criticism they were denying refugees a chance for escape," The New York Times' reporting effectively issued a peremptory ruling against the concerns of refugee advocates.
Passing Knee-Jerk Laws in the Wake of Terrorist Attacks Will Not Make Us Safer
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33723-passing-knee-jerk-laws-in-the-wake-of-terrorist-attacks-will-not-make-us-safer
Fiona de Londras, The Conversation: To accede to calls for fundamental legal changes is mistaken. The aftermath of an attack is a febrile milieu in which debate is hampered by the political costs of opposition. In such a context, the virtue of saying the unpopular in defense of the principled is costly.
The Dangers of the Gates Foundation: Displacing Seeds and Farmers
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33722-the-dangers-of-the-gates-foundation-displacing-seeds-and-farmers
Mariam Mayet, Other Worlds: Farmer-managed seed systems in Africa are being criminalized and displaced by a very aggressive "green revolution" project of corporate occupation by big multinational companies. African farmer organizations are outraged because decisions have been made and imposed in a very patronizing, patriarchal way, as if the agrarian vision and solution have been designed on behalf of farmers.

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog:</strong> A growing coalition of Indigenous tribes, environmental groups and concerned citizens are fighting the creation of the River of Grass Greenway, a bike path that would connect Naples to Miami. Stopping the path is a move to keep what is still wild in the Everglades, wild.</p>

The aftermath of an attack is a febrile milieu in which debate is hampered by the political costs of opposition.
