http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34282-doubling-down-on-force-with-tasers-makes-police-problems-worse
Alison Flowers, Truthout: The national trend of sanctioning the increased use of police Tasers and stun guns, and the argument that using weapons other than guns may save lives or reduce injuries, ignore the underlying problems of how police use force against civilians.
Bundy Militia Claims Indigenous Paiute Land as Oregon Land
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34284-bundy-militia-claims-indigenous-paiute-land-as-oregon-land
Steve Russell, Indian Country Today Media Network: Some of the same armed "militia" involved in the Cliven Bundy affair in Nevada have occupied federal land in Oregon formerly reserved for the Northern Paiute. Ironically, the "legal" basis for starting a fight with the government is that sovereignty "really" belongs to Oregon.
Why Did Israel Withhold Bodies of Slain Palestinians, Denying the Right to Mourn?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34290-why-did-israel-withhold-bodies-of-slain-palestinians-denying-the-right-to-mourn
Chris Moore-Backman, Truthout: In Hebron, on New Year's Day, 17 Palestinian families started their year by reclaiming the dead bodies of their children from an Israeli government that had withheld them for months.

Income Inequality Is a Health Hazard - Even for the Rich
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34287-income-inequality-is-a-health-hazard-even-for-the-rich
Yessenia Funes, YES! Magazine: Wealth in the United States can buy many things: education, homes, vacations. It can even buy the best doctors and diet, but it can't buy health. A public health researcher explains why life expectancy is falling, and it has to do with income inequality rising.
Wisconsin Board Reboots, Holds Hearing on Changes to Open Records Law
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34289-wisconsin-board-reboots-holds-hearing-on-changes-to-open-records-law
Mary Bottari, PR Watch: An obscure administration board charged with facilitating the retention of records quietly made significant changes to Wisconsin's open records law without required public notice, giving the Walker administration a new way to deny records requests about the use of public resources during his presidential run.
Amid Armed Oregon Standoff, Report Finds "Skyrocketing" Number of Anti-Government Militia Groups
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34294-amid-armed-oregon-standoff-report-finds-skyrocketing-number-of-anti-government-militia-groups

"Creed" Reveals Filmmaker Ryan Coogler's Womanist Sensibilities
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34280-creed-reveals-filmmaker-ryan-coogler-s-womanist-sensibilities
Eisa Nefertari Ulen, Truthout: In "Creed," and his earlier film "Fruitvale Station," Ryan Coogler, a dynamic, young, Black filmmaker, expresses a keen womanist sensibility. While his feature films center men, Coogler's Black women characters anchor the stories and exist as rounded individuals independent of the male leads.
Why ISIS Is in the Minor Leagues of Terror
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34291-why-the-islamic-state-is-the-minor-leagues-of-terror
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: It's easier to fear extreme Islamist movements than to take in two apocalyptic terrors that are part of our own patrimony: climate change and nuclear weapons. To make matters harder, climate change is likely to unfold over a time period that's hard to grasp, and nuclear war would play out under circumstances that are very difficult to predict.
Big Strides for Health-Care Reform
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34292-big-strides-for-health-care-reform
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: One of the remarkable aspects of the politics of health-care reform in the United States is the way that conservatives have managed to keep believing that the Affordable Care Act is unraveling, despite the repeated failure of disaster predictions to come true.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34288-as-us-steps-up-deportations-advocates-push-for-refugee-status-for-central-americans
Danica Jorden, Global Voices: Hundreds of Central Americans and their supporters gathered in front of the White House to protest the US government's plan to significantly ramp up deportations. Protesters emphasized that Central American migrants should qualify as refugees.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34285-four-awful-new-laws-to-start-2016
Robin Marty, Care2: Unfortunately, the changing of the calendar also means the start of a number of disappointing state laws and restrictions. Here are four new ones that are bound to make life harder for those with the least resources.
