Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Documents obtained exclusively by Truthout reveal plans for Navy SEALs to engage in simulated combat exercises across Washington State, on public and private property, beginning this month.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34350-who-profits-from-the-refugee-crisis
Arnie Alpert, Truthout: Wars, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, fuel migration and extremism.

The cases set the stage for a seismic shift in the battle over reproductive rights.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34363-dawn-of-the-anthropocene-five-ways-humans-have-triggered-a-new-geological-epoch
Mark Williams and Jan A. Zalasiewicz, The Conversation: Is the Anthropocene real? That is, the vigorously debated concept of a new geological epoch driven by humans. Our environmental impact is indeed profound - there is little debate about that - but is it significant on a geological timescale, measured over millions of years?

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34361-north-carolina-coal-ash-victims-blast-state-for-downgrading-duke-energy-dumpsite-risks
Sue Sturgis, Facing South: Activist groups say all 32 of Duke's coal ash pond sites should be considered high priority for cleanup, since all of them are leaking pollution to the environment - and in some places even contaminating drinking water supplies.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34359-syrian-government-to-allow-aid-loosening-the-stranglehold-on-madaya
Katherine Mackenzie, Inter Press Service: The Syrian government says it will allow humanitarian aid into the besieged rebel-held town of Madaya, according to the United Nations, following reports and horrific pictures of residents starving to death.
