GOP Candidates Receive Failing Grades on Climate as 2015 Smashes Global Temperature Records
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34090-gop-candidates-receive-failing-grades-on-climate-as-2015-smashes-global-temperature-records
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: With the Paris climate conference concluded, none of the pledges by countries to cut emissions are binding, causing leading climate scientist James Hansen to label them a "fraud." Meanwhile, sea level rise, Arctic melting, temperature records and the climate disruption denial movement - including much of the GOP presidential field - continue to increase.
When the Workers Become the Owners: Taking the Co-op Movement to the Next Level
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34104-when-the-workers-become-the-owners-taking-the-co-op-movement-to-the-next-level
Brian Van Slyke, Truthout: Worker cooperatives - businesses that employees own and run together, democratically - are springing up around the United States. Two key figures from the movement share their perspectives on how co-ops can create lasting social change and build stronger communities.
Thirty Percent of GOP Voters Support Bombing Any Arab-Sounding Nation - Even Fictional Lands
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34115-poll-30-percent-of-gop-voters-support-bombing-any-arab-sounding-nation-even-the-fictional-land-of-aladdin
Sophia Tesfaye, Salon: According to a new Public Policy Polling poll, 30 percent of Republican primary voters nationally support bombing Agrabah, the made-up home of Disney's "Aladdin". Thirty-six percent believe Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claim that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were cheering on 9/11.
Misinformer of the Year: The Center for Medical Progress
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34112-misinformer-of-the-year-the-center-for-medical-progress
Olivia Kittel, Media Matters: While not a traditional media outlet itself, the anti-choice group CMP produced its own content attacking Planned Parenthood. It used that content to infiltrate a fractured media environment and receptive conservative echo chamber, creating a feeding frenzy to broadcast its deceptive message loud and clear.
Note to the Candidates: Don't Forget About the Federal Reserve Board
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34114-note-to-the-candidates-don-t-forget-about-the-federal-reserve-board
Dean Baker, Truthout: When it comes to the Fed and its importance, most of the candidates seem to be failing as badly as Donald Trump did on his nuclear triad test. Any candidate who does not recognize the importance of the Fed isn't serious on economic issues.
Bernie Blackout? As DNC Accused of Targeting Sanders, Corporate Media Ignore Historic Campaign
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34120-bernie-blackout-as-dnc-accused-of-targeting-sanders-corporate-media-ignores-historic-campaign
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Is the Democratic National Committee trying to undermine Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign? That's the charge Sanders' team is making amid a dust-up over a breach of voter information. But Sanders is making history despite being subjected to what he calls a "blackout" in the media.
Lurking Within That Ominous, Omnibus Spending Bill
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34111-lurking-within-that-ominous-omnibus-spending-bill
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: There is a rule in Congress that before you do even a little for the working class you must do a lot for the donor class. So while the $1.1 trillion budget contains some tax breaks for low-income workers, in reality, it's a bonanza for Big Business.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Half of all Americans Are Living in or Close to Poverty, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34123-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-half-of-all-americans-are-living-in-or-close-to-poverty-and-more
In today's On the News segment: A family of four needs an income of at least $60,000 a year to reach a "modest living standard," but 50 percent of all Americans make less than half that amount; for the 12th year in a row, the United Nations Development Index has ranked Norway as the best country in the world to live in; Maine's Gov. Paul LePage has gone to great lengths to demonize poor people in his state; and more.
Make the US Great, Like It Was - When?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34113-make-the-us-great-like-it-was-when
Jill Richardson, OtherWords: Donald Trump's campaign slogan - "Make America Great Again" - plays on this idea of some imagined time in the past when things were better and simpler than they are now. But Trump isn't the only one who evokes this mythical past.
The Logic of the Police State: Waking Up to the Darkness in US Policing
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34118-the-logic-of-the-police-state-waking-up-to-the-darkness-in-us-policing
Matthew Harwood, TomDispatch: There is no war on the police. Violent attacks against police officers remain at historic lows, even though approximately 1,000 people have been killed by police this year. No evidence connects any possible increase in crime to the phenomenon of police violence being exposed.
How Advocates for Syrian Refugees Are Weathering the Storm
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34116-how-advocates-for-syrian-refugees-are-weathering-the-storm
Sarah Aziza, Waging Nonviolence: Syrians in the United States may be safe from falling bombs, but they are never free of the shadow cast by the still-raging war. Many Syrians in the US have sought activism as an antidote to frustration and grief, standing against war and in solidarity with refugees.
