http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34628-new-york-activists-hope-to-argue-the-climate-necessity-of-civil-disobedience
Candice Bernd, Truthout: Climate dissidents in the Delta 5 case made a breakthrough in using "climate necessity" as part of their defense, arguing they could only protect themselves and the climate by breaking the law. Now, another trial may hear the same argument, signaling an unprecedented legal shift.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34630-it-begins-iowa-and-an-avalanche-of-mayhem
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: The 2016 Iowa caucuses begin Monday night and the stakes are high, especially on the Democratic side. As for the Republican side of the contest, who the hell knows? One thing is certain: Monday will not be boring.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34632-how-ice-shields-its-financial-dealings-with-private-prison-contractors-from-public-scrutiny
Ghita Schwarz, Center for Constitutional Rights: It seems that private prison contractors not only control an increasing share of our unjust immigration system; they now seek to limit the public's access to government contracting decisions and the reach of FOIA itself.
Half of US Workforce Has No Retirement Plan - but Illinois Has a Fix
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34633-half-of-us-workforce-has-no-retirement-plan-but-illinois-has-a-fix
Marcus Harrison Green, YES! Magazine: The Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program will automatically enroll workers and will deduct an adjustable percentage per paycheck to set aside in an individual retirement account. Economists see the plan as an innovative complement to Social Security.
Campaign Donations Reflect the Sharp Split in Congress Among Republicans
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34634-campaign-donations-reflect-the-sharp-split-in-congress-among-republicans
Derek Willis, ProPublica: An analysis of political fundraising shows conservative House Republicans - including Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy - have less and less in common with their party's leaders, whose donors sometimes more closely resemble those of Democrats.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34635-climate-displaced-persons-deserve-a-dignified-transition-here-s-how-to-make-it-happen
Kayla Walsh, Ensia: As distasteful as it might be to some, the designation "climate refugee" is key to ensuring a planned, orderly transition for the millions facing displacement in the decades ahead. The reality is that climate displacement is a form of persecution.

UN Fiddles While Palestine Burns
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34636-un-fiddles-while-palestine-burns
Nick Everett, Red Flag: After decades of betrayal, Palestinian youth are once again finding their voice. International solidarity with their struggle, especially in the imperialist states that back apartheid Israel, remains a vitally important task.
This week in Speakout: Ken Morris reflects on Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump; John Geyman examines Hillary Clinton's disingenuous opposition to real health care reform; Dr. James J. Zogby argues the Iowa caucuses will prove to be massively important in this year's election; James and Jean Anton wonder why Hillary Clinton is seeking common ground with extremists; and more.
