Trump's Love Affair With Violence in the Age of Fascist Nihilism
https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-love-affair-with-violence-in-the-age-of-fascist-nihilism/
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: The ghosts of a fascist past have erupted into a new
American nightmare as violence becomes the new normal under Trump. This
administration has created a social order and political movement that views
violence as a tool for social and racial cleansing and is pouring fuel on a
fire that produces endless assaults on those considered vulnerable, disposable
and worthy of extermination.
Meet the Health Care Industry's Favorite Democrats
https://truthout.org/articles/meet-the-health-care-industrys-favorite-democrats/
Michael Corcoran, Truthout: Although polls show 82 percent of Democrats support
Medicare for All, some of the most powerful Democrats in Congress -- including
much of the leadership and key committee members -- have resisted it. To
understand why, we only need look at the money the health care industry has
been funneling to Democrats, including the record $197 million for this midterm
election cycle. Here's a list of the industry's favorite congressional
Democrats.
A Fraction of the GOP Tax Cut Could End US's Water Affordability Crisis
https://truthout.org/articles/a-fraction-of-the-gop-tax-cut-could-end-uss-water-affordability-crisis/
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: An estimated 15 million people in the US experienced a
water shutoff in 2016 because they could not afford the rising cost of tap
water, according to a new study. This water affordability crisis that
disproportionately affects low-income households and majority-Black cities can
be easily solved by reversing just a fraction of the GOP's tax cuts for
corporations and the wealthy.
Marriott Workers Stay Tough on the Picket Lines
https://truthout.org/articles/marriott-workers-stay-tough-on-the-picket-lines/
David Bacon, Truthout: It's been three weeks since workers at Marriott hotels
in eight cities around the US went on strike, and they are showing no signs of
wanting to go back to work before their grievances are resolved. Using the
slogan, "One Job Should be Enough," workers are demanding a living wage and a
less punishing workload. This photo essay documents the lively picket lines in
Oakland and San Francisco.
Demonstrators Block Trump During March for Love and Solidarity in Pittsburgh
https://truthout.org/articles/demonstrators-block-trump-during-march-for-love-and-solidarity-in-pittsburgh/
Jake Johnson, Common Dreams: Donald Trump arrived in Pittsburgh on Tuesday amid
opposition from local officials and activists who argued the man responsible
for stirring so much racist hatred should not visit the site of a deadly mass
shooting motivated by anti-Semitism. Thousands of peaceful demonstrators
flooded the streets, forcing the presidential motorcade to take another route.
As Bolsonaro Threatens Crackdown on Protest, Resistance Emerges in Brazil
https://truthout.org/video/as-bolsonaro-threatens-crackdown-on-protest-resistance-emerges-in-brazil/
Amy Goodman and Juan González, Democracy Now!: Brazil is continuing to reel
from the election of its far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, who has often
praised Brazil's former military dictatorship, which ended just 33 years ago.
Bolsonaro has promised to appoint many military officers to his Cabinet, spoken
in favor of torture, and threatened to destroy, imprison or banish his
political opponents.
Latinos Born Outside Hospitals Face Scrutiny Over Citizenship
https://truthout.org/articles/latinos-born-outside-hospitals-face-scrutiny-over-citizenship/
Miriam Zoila Pérez, Rewire.News: Gwyneth Barbara was born in the United States
-- in her parents' Kansas farmhouse, to be exact. In April, Barbara received a
letter from the US Passport Agency telling her that because she was born
outside of an institution, her birth certificate was not enough to prove
citizenship. Her case isn't the only one, and the process of finding
supplemental documentation can be time-intensive and costly.
Teachers Promise a Show of Power at the Polls
https://truthout.org/articles/teachers-promise-a-show-of-power-at-the-polls/
Negin Owliaei, Inequality.org: Teachers and their allies are not just pushing
politicians to adopt their proposed policies -- they're becoming the
politicians themselves. Nearly 1,500 current or former educators are running
for state office, and thousands more are galvanized as part of a grassroots
movement pushing for drastic priority shifts in state politics.
San Francisco Grants Non-Citizen Residents Voting Rights in Local Election
https://truthout.org/articles/san-francisco-grants-non-citizen-residents-voting-rights-in-local-election/
s.e. smith, Care2: San Francisco just became the largest US city to allow
non-citizens to vote in local races, giving people who live, work and raise
their children in the area an opportunity to weigh in on the school board
without requiring citizenship.
