Reclaim MLK: Beyond Sanitized Narratives
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34444-reclaim-mlk-beyond-sanitized-narratives
Page May, Truthout: Martin Luther King, Jr. was a radical, intersectional civil rights organizer who was rebranded after his death as a sanitized national hero. But the restriction of his legacy to memorialized speeches grossly misrepresents the movement of which he was a part.
Sparks Fly Between Bernie and Hillary Over Health Care and Wall Street in Democratic Debate
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34455-sparks-fly-between-bernie-and-hillary-over-health-care-and-wall-street-in-democratic-debate
Steven Rosenfeld, AlterNet: In their final debate before 2016 voting starts in Iowa, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton sparred over gun control, health care, taxes, Wall Street reform and their visions of how far government should go to help Americans.
The State of Our Economy: What It Needs vs. What Washington Is Willing to Do
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34452-a-roller-coaster-ride-on-wall-street-looking-ahead-in-2016
Dean Baker, Truthout: The irony is that our weak economy is the result of insufficient demand. The quickest way to get more demand is to have the government spend money on things like infrastructure, clean energy, education and health care. But politicians in Washington have largely put more spending off the table.
How We Misunderstand the History of Black Protest
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33594-how-we-misunderstand-the-history-of-black-protest
Juliet Hooker, Truthout: Conservative critics have claimed that Martin Luther King, Jr. would be ashamed of the Black Lives Matter movement. Wrong. If MLK were alive today, he would be marching with BLM protesters on the streets of Ferguson and Baltimore.
Climate Insurgency After Paris
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34429-climate-insurgency-after-paris
Jeremy Brecher, Labor Network for Sustainabilty: At COP21, the governments of the world made a promise to the people of the world - and immediately betrayed it. The Paris climate agreement doesn't prevent one molecule of greenhouse gas from being put in the atmosphere, but it may provide additional justification for civil disobedience.
Thoughts on Rojava: An Interview With Janet Biehl
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34453-thoughts-on-rojava-an-interview-with-janet-biehl
Zanyar Omrani, ROAR Magazine: Full of admiration, but not without critique, author Janet Biehl shares some of her ideas on the Rojava revolution after her recent visits to the region. "People in Rojava seemed very aware of the danger that a bottom-up system can turn into a top-down system," she says.
A Dream Remembered? Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Grassroots Civil Rights Movement
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34456-a-dream-remembered-martin-luther-king-jr-and-the-grassroots-civil-rights-movement
George Lavender, Making Contact: On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered one of the most famous speeches of all time. But it nearly didn't happen. Gary Younge, author of The Speech, talks about MLK's "Dream" and the story behind it.
Education Department Releases List of Federally Funded Charter Schools, Though Incomplete
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34454-education-department-releases-list-of-federally-funded-charter-schools-though-incomplete
Lisa Graves, PR Watch: The US Department of Education has released a list of the charter schools that have received federal funding since 2006. In releasing the data, the bureau is providing new transparency about charter school grantees, but significant gaps remain.
Our Toxic Failure
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34457-our-toxic-failure
Jill Richardson, OtherWords: Is it really so radical to ask that companies test chemicals for safety before using them? Consumers buy them, wear them, live with them and even perhaps ingest them. Yet we're expected to do so without any knowledge about their potential dangers, because the chemicals are a trade secret.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Low Taxes on the Rich Have Furthered Inequality, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34460-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-low-taxes-on-the-rich-have-furthered-inequality-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Low taxes on the rich have made them much richer and have left the rest of us trying to catch up; Spokane, Washington, is the latest US city to pass its own sick leave legislation; a new bill would withhold funding from any municipality that uses private probation companies that hike up fees and throw people behind bars when they can't pay; and more.
New President, Old Problems: Guatemala Seeks to Turn the Page
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34458-new-president-old-problems-guatemala-seeks-to-turn-the-page
Cyril Mychalejko, teleSUR: If Guatemala is going to continue to tackle corruption and impunity and make democratic gains in the wake of the inauguration of its new president, efforts will depend on the ability of civil society to successfully mobilize in order to pressure a hesitant (if not unwilling) political elite to make meaningful concessions and reforms.
