*DON'T BE WALMART SHOPPERS AT RSN: People go to WalMart because they want things cheap, fast and convenient. That's not what we do at RSN. RSN is about confronting injustice and commitment to improving our lives. Using the WalMart shopper approach to acquiring your news and information may seem cheap, fast and convenient but it will not achieve the basic goals, it will only eliminate a strong independent voice. If you accept WalMart logic, that becomes the way you live your life. Yes, there are many places outside the US where people do not cave in to WalMart logic.

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch
Engelhardt writes: "The United States has been at war - major boots-on-the-ground conflicts and minor interventions, firefights, air strikes, drone assassination campaigns, occupations, special ops raids, proxy conflicts, and covert actions - nearly nonstop since the Vietnam War began.

The Only 'Privilege' Afforded to Campus Rape Victims Is Actually Surviving
Jessica Valenti, Guardian UK
Valenti writes: "Rape victims get called a lot of things. Sometimes it's 'slut.' For the 11-year-old gang rape victim in Texas, it was that she was a 'spider' luring men into her web. It's not all bad, though - thanks to anti-violence activists, those who have been attacked also get called 'survivors' and 'brave.' The last word I ever expected to hear to describe a rape victim is 'privileged.'"

The One Thing Obama Didn't Say About Student Loan Repayment
Anya Kamenetz, National Public Radio
Kamenetz writes: "Pay As You Earn has been around since 2012. It's inspired by the higher ed finance systems in countries like Australia, where university students pay nothing upfront and a percentage of their income after graduation."
