Why Is the US Military Still Burning Its Explosive Waste in the Open Air?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34477-why-is-the-us-military-still-burni=
ng-its-explosive-waste-in-the-open-air
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Explosive materials in the US military's massive haz=
ardous waste stream are still being destroyed at "open burns," which enviro=

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34491-politifact-sanders-is-wrong-abo=
ut-pentagon-spending-because-understanding-the-pentagon-budget-is-too-hard
Robert Naiman, Truthout: During the last Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders =

for putting money into elections that cannot be traced and is often hidden=
under layers of opaque networks.

Victoria Law, Solitary Watch: New York's Special Housing Unit Exclusion Law=

sh-impact-on-poor-and-communities-of-color
Brian Bienkowski, Environmental Health News: Too often, toxic coal ash - a =

A Community Solution to Cash Bail
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34481-a-community-solution-to-cash-bail
Jonah Newman, The Chicago Reporter: People with means can buy their freedom=
; those without access to money sit in jail - sometimes for months or even =
years - while their cases work their way through the system. However, a new=

ns who can't afford it.
Playing Games With War Deaths
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34483-playing-games-with-war-deaths
Nicolas J S Davies, Consortium News: There's a double standard in how the U=
S mainstream media report civilian deaths, depending on whether the US mili=
tary is fighting the wars or not. Reports often accept absurdly low numbers=
when the United States is at fault, and hype death tolls when US "enemies"=
are involved. It's a manipulation of human tragedy.
