Sexism Runs Rampant Among GOP Contenders in the 2016 Presidential Race
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34530-sexism-runs-rampant-among-gop-contenders-in-the-2016-presidential-race
Veronica I. Arreola, Truthout: While the brunt of sexist remarks littering the 2016 presidential campaign trail is being launched at Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, Republicans have also mocked GOP candidate Carly Fiorina, accused women candidates of playing the "gender card" and questioned other candidates' masculinity.
On the Corrupting Influence of Money in Politics, Bernie Sanders Is Dead Right
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34528-on-the-corrupting-influence-of-money-in-politics-bernie-sanders-is-dead-right
Eliza A. Webb, Truthout: Bernie Sanders has initiated a national debate on the corrupting influence of money in politics. Rejecting Hillary Clinton's claim that partisan infighting is the major roadblock to change, Sanders says the real problem is a Congress controlled by large corporations.
Reclaiming Democracy From a Rogue Supreme Court
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/34523-reclaiming-democracy-from-a-rogue-supreme-court
Mark Karlin, Truthout: Derek Cressman, author of When Money Talks, discusses how money in politics affects who wins elections and even who runs for office, and how a constitutional amendment may be Americans' best chance to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling.
Organizing to Resist the Corporatization of Higher Education
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34531-organizing-to-resist-the-corporatization-of-higher-education
Malini Cadambi Daniel, New Labor Forum: Being a professor was once a stable profession, but is now increasingly characterized by low pay, minimal benefits and no job security. However, contingent faculty are confronting these changes to their profession by organizing and forming unions.
"Gene-Editing" Produces GMOs That Must Be Regulated
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34532-gene-editing-produces-gmos-that-must-be-regulated-as-gmos
Janet Cotter and Ricarda Steinbrecher, The Ecologist: The EU is considering the exclusion of gene-edited plants and animals from GM regulations. However, gene-edited organisms present real risks to the environment and human health - and must be regulated like any other GMOs.
Obama Administration Enables Billionaire Takeover of US Public Schools
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34533-obama-administration-enables-billionaire-takeover-of-us-public-schools
Dustin Beilke, AlterNet: The Department of Education's charter school agenda matches that of the billionaire-funded anti-education, pro-privatization movement that funds and promotes so much of the misinformation about public education.
To Fight Back Against Companies Like Uber, Workers Need Organizing - Not Technocratic Fixes
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34534-to-fight-back-against-companies-like-uber-workers-need-organizing-not-technocratic-fixes
Jonathan Rosenblum, In These Times: New business models like Uber have profoundly slanted the playing field in favor of employers and against workers. Solutions must tackle the power differential between gig economy workers and the big businesses that control their labor.
Obama Should Quickly Forge Strong Diplomatic Ties With Venezuela
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34535-obama-should-quickly-forge-strong-diplomatic-ties-with-venezuela
Mark Weisbrot, Tribune News Service: President Obama could make a decision to have normal relations with Venezuela, and at least try to prevent the vast bureaucracy from pursuing regime change. But he has not even accepted an ambassador from Venezuela, something he has already done for Cuba and which does not need congressional approval.
Saudi Executions: Beyond the Numbers
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34536-saudi-executions-beyond-the-numbers
Halim Shebaya, openDemocracy: Let us not get lost in an argument about who executes more or fewer individuals every year, as if a lower ranking signals an achievement. It is unfortunate that we do not have wide condemnation of abuses, wherever they occur and whoever the perpetrator.
This week in Speakout: Dr. Dennis R. Koehn reflects on Martin Luther King's major antiwar address, delivered at the Riverside Church in New York City in 1967; Naqi A. Jaffery examines the scandal of the DNC data breach, and how the company housing its servers has deep ties to the Clinton family; Corporate Europe Observatory staff offer a new report on how the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership will allow bureaucrats and big business to attack the public interest; Ramzy Baroud looks at the complex reality of "home" for Palestinians; Brian D. Williams argues the Sanders campaign undermines political revolution; and more.
