The Beetles: Eighty-Nine Million Acres of Abrupt Climate Change
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34853-the-beetles-eighty-nine-million-acres-of-abrupt-climate-change
Bruce Melton, Truthout: Abrupt climate change has been ongoing in North America's Rocky Mountains, with higher temperatures contributing to a pine beetle infestation that has decimated millions of acres of forests. This ecological reorganization is just one example of many that will occur globally unless we address climate change.

http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/34854-fighting-to-win-visualizing-contemporary-social-movements-through-art

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34848-florida-legislators-quietly-vote-to-strip-state-funding-from-groups-associated-with-bds
Christine Baniewicz, Truthout: Florida lawmakers are attempting to quash the growing momentum on US college campuses of the BDS movement, which advocates the use of boycotts, divestment and sanctions to oppose the Israeli occupation of Palestine. A new bill threatens to revoke state funding from universities that choose to divest from Israel.
Nickel and Dimed in 2016: You Can't Earn a Living on the Minimum Wage
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34845-nickel-and-dimed-in-2016-you-can-t-earn-a-living-on-the-minimum-wage
Peter Van Buren, TomDispatch: It seems wrong in a society as wealthy as ours that a person working full-time can't get above the poverty line. With all the election talk about the economy, I decided it was time to go back and take another look at where I had been, and where too many others still are.
Bernie Sanders Is a Candidate for - Not of - Today's Movements
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34840-bernie-sanders-is-a-candidate-for-not-of-today-s-movements
Kate Aronoff, Waging Nonviolence: If Bernie Sanders is elected president, will immigration advocates, the movement for Black lives and young people fighting for climate justice make their own push for electoral power within the Democratic Party? Or will they mobilize outside to hold him accountable?
Retail Means Jobs, but Those Jobs Shouldn't Mean Poverty
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34844-retail-means-jobs-but-those-jobs-shouldn-t-mean-poverty
Carrie Gleason, In These Times: It's clear that retail jobs are holding too many women and people of color back. Rather than superficial fixes, we need bold solutions that move all retail workers forward and allow their families to thrive.
Why Americans Like Socialism
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34842-why-americans-like-socialism
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: The argument that democratic socialism is somehow out of step with what the American people want is just flat-out wrong. Studies show Americans do want socialism, even if they've been bludgeoned by decades of Cold War era propaganda into believing that it's an affront to our democracy.
North Carolina Environmental Officials: Too Anti-Regulation Even for Duke Energy?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34846-north-carolina-environmental-officials-too-anti-regulation-even-for-duke-energy
Sue Sturgis, Facing South: In recent weeks, even Duke Energy officials have suggested that the administration of North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory may be going too far in its efforts to undermine environmental regulations aimed at curbing climate change and promoting renewable energy.
Thousands of Former Child Refugees Deported to Afghanistan and Iraq
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34843-thousands-of-former-child-refugees-deported-to-afghanistan-and-iraq
Maeve McClenaghan, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism: A UK official has admitted that over the past nine years, 2,748 young people - many of whom had spent formative years in the UK, forging friendships and going to school - have been returned to the likes of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria.
Inequality in the United States' Political Class
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34847-inequality-in-america-s-political-class
Marc Priester, Inequality.org: The wealth gap between the presidential candidates and average Americans could hardly be more stark. With a more level playing field, we would have a greater number of people of color, women and Americans of all income levels running for office and having their voices heard.
Rebuilding Trust After Flint: What About the Water in Your City?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34841-rebuilding-trust-after-flint-what-about-the-water-in-your-city
Daniel Moss, YES! Magazine: The injuries in Flint, Michigan, will persist well beyond its scarred children. It may be some time before families feel reassured enough to drink from their tap. However, with enough investment and public oversight, water can be managed for the public good.
"Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise": First Film on Writer and Activist Chronicles an Extraordinary Life
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34850-maya-angelou-and-still-i-rise-first-film-on-writer-and-activist-chronicles-an-extraordinary-life
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: In a Black History Month special, we remember the life and legacy of the legendary poet, playwright and civil rights activist Maya Angelou. For the first time, a documentary has chronicled her remarkable life. We speak to the film's creators and to Angelou's grandson.
