If you're a Veteran or care about the care Veterans receive, please pay attention to the attempts to privatize Veterans' care.

Charles Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: “Antonin (Short Time) Scalia had another attack of burlesque ‘originalism’ in the concurrence he insisted on reading Thursday morning when the Supreme Court found against the president in the case of Canning v.

Movement to Social Reconstruction
Nathan Schneider, Al Jazeera America
Schneider writes: “I’ve often found myself on the receiving end of people asking, ‘What happened to Occupy, anyway?’ Now, more than two years since the movement faded from the headlines, and in the wake of French economist Thomas Piketty’s bestselling diagnosis of economic inequality, the urgency of these questions is mounting, not diminishing.”
