he-future-of-the-police-war-on-black-lives=E2=80=A8William C. Anderson, Tru=
thout: The future of policing in the US could be even more distressing than=
the current injustices people of color face at the hands of police. In a s=
ociety where Blackness equals risk, technology will reproduce the defining =
characteristics of anti-Blackness.
The Plutocrats Are Winning. Don't Let Them!=E2=80=A8http://www.truth-out.or=
g/opinion/item/34149-the-plutocrats-are-winning-don-t-let-them=E2=80=A8Bill=
Moyers, Moyers & Company: The plutocrats are selling off the republic, pie=
ce by piece. The vast inequality they are creating is a death sentence for =
government by consent of the people. This is the fight of our lives - and h=
ow it ends is up to us.

er, Truthout: The medical establishment rarely engages substantively with h=
istorical or contemporary evidence of medical racism. Thus, medical school =
professors and doctors from the dominant culture are more likely to misread=

of medical students and patients of color.

thout: In Chicago, organizers of a recent direct action highlighted the con=
nection between the city's corrupt, violent, racist police practices and it=
s neglect and marginalization of poor communities of color. The protest its=
elf was a love letter to everyone who has brought their energy and creativi=
ty to movements against state violence during the last year.

teleSUR: Mark Zuckerberg's extreme wealth and his extreme philanthropy exem=

drew Gavin Marshall, Occupy.com: It's not a bank, an insurance company, fin=

often in the background, yet there is scarcely a company, country or region=
of the planet that the world's largest asset management firm does not touc=
h or influence.

truth-out.org/news/item/34151-what-is-the-war-on-terror-and-how-to-fight-it=
=E2=80=A8Marilyn Vogt-Downey, Counterpunch: The "war on terror" was launche=
d in 2001. Fourteen years and trillions of dollars later, it is alive and w=
ell, and so are the "terrorists." Moreover, there is not the slightest doub=
t that these escalated military offensives will neither end the former nor =
destroy the latter.
