The War on Terror Is a War on Youth: Paris and the Impoverishment of the Fu=
ture
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33769-the-war-on-terror-is-a-war-on-y=
outh-paris-and-the-impoverishment-of-the-future
Henry A. Giroux and Brad Evans, Truthout: Following the attacks in Paris, w=
e must acknowledge that the seeds of terrorism do not lie simply in ideolog=
ical fundamentalism, but also in conditions of oppression, war, racism, pov=
erty and violent assaults on young people, in the Middle East and the West.
Calling Out the Republican Party as a Hate Group
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33777-calling-out-the-republican-part=
y-as-a-hate-group
Michael I. Niman, Truthout: With leading Republican presidential candidates=
spewing various degrees of religious or racial intolerance, people who mai=
ntain ties to the Republican Party, either through party registration or vo=
ting history, can no longer deny that they are part of a hate group.
Higher Education Is a Key to Decarceration: Let's Pass the REAL Act
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33767-higher-education-is-a-key-to-de=
carceration-let-s-pass-the-real-act
Jean Trounstine, Truthout: College education is a gateway to shrinking our =
prison population and empowering formerly incarcerated people and those beh=
ind bars. At last, legislation is on the table to ensure that state and fed=
eral prisoners are once again eligible for Pell grants, making college acce=
ssible for more Americans.

Neocons Make Rubio Their Favorite
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33770-neocons-make-rubio-their-favorite
JP Sottile, Consortium News: With Sen. Marco Rubio surging in the polls - c=
losing the gap on Donald Trump and easily besting Hillary Clinton in some g=
eneral-election matchups - neoconservatives have found their favorite candi=
date, a fresh face who would put them firmly back in the driver's seat of U=
S foreign policy.

My Mom Fled War, Too: Finding Compassion for Syrian Refugees
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33772-my-mom-fled-war-too-finding-com=
passion-for-syrian-refugees
Yessenia Funes, YES! Magazine: Refugees aren't the ones to fear; they are a=
fraid, too. Like refugees everywhere, my mother, fleeing the Salvadoran civ=
il war, gave her children the gift of a better life - and an understanding =
of what it means to risk everything for it.
The Power of Choice: Chicago's Black Organizers Refuse a Meeting With Mayor=
Emanuel
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33771-the-power-of-choice-chicago-s-b=
lack-organizers-refuse-a-meeting-with-mayor-emanuel
Kelly Hayes, Transformative Spaces: Today could mark the first time in Chic=
ago history that a police officer is charged with murder for an on-duty sho=
oting. As questions swirl around the release of the video of Laquan McDonal=
d's murder, it is clear that young Black activists will not be swayed by Ma=
yor Rahm Emanuel's manipulations, and will remain focused on their larger f=
ight for justice.

Why Are Democrats Running as Republicans?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33768-why-are-democrats-running-as-re=
publicans
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Democrats are losing out to=
Republicans in what have become red states because the people who would vo=
te for Democrats aren't voting whatsoever. It's time for Democrats to embra=
ce and run on their party's core values, rather than parroting the position=
s of the opposing party.
Water Pollution Trading Programs Under Fire as Report Finds Lax Oversight
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33775-water-pollution-trading-programs-u=
nder-fire-as-report-finds-lax-oversight
Sharon Kelly, DeSmogBlog: A little-noticed, federally backed program is chi=
pping away at the foundation of the Clean Water Act, one of the United Stat=
es' core environmental laws. The program is allowing major polluters to eva=
de responsibility for contaminating rivers, streams and other waterways.
Home, Sweet Kleptocracy: Kabul in the US
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33773-home-sweet-kleptocracy-kabul-in=
-america
Rebecca Gordon, TomDispatch: We're not living in the democratic country man=
y of us imagine, but in something like an American klepto-state. Corruption=
, it turns out, doesn't just devour the lives of people in far-off nations.=
Right now, it's busy shoving what's left of our own democracy down our thr=
oats.

ce Department
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33780-chicago-s-call-for-peace-over-laqu=
an-mcdonald-video-does-not-extend-to-police-department
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: As Chicago braces for protests ahead of the re=
lease of video footage of the police shooting of Laquan McDonald, Charlene =
Carruthers, the national director of the Black Youth Project 100, says city=
officials want the protests to remain peaceful, but are focusing on the wr=
ong target; they should be telling the Chicago Police Department to remain =
nonviolent.

The Difference Between Super PACs and Dark Money Groups
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33776-the-difference-between-super-pacs-=
and-dark-money-groups
Melissa Yeager, Sunlight Foundation: Since campaign finance can be a compli=
cated issue, here is a simple breakdown of the key characteristics of super=
PACs (political action committees) and the key characteristics of "dark mo=
ney," in the context of the 2016 election cycle.
Caricatures and Labor Force Distortions
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33774-caricatures-and-labor-force-dis=
tortions
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: If you think that France is a nation where eve=
ryone is either "lazy" or unemployed, compared with the "hard-working" Unit=
ed States, you're not just repeating a caricature; you're repeating a caric=
ature that's been out of date for many years.
