Will We Raise Funds or Challenge Injustice?
What will tomorrow bring, a day of scratching together funding or a day of dedicating the organization's efforts to challenging the injustice that affects our daily lives? We need 600 Donations to finish. 600 will visit RSN in the next 20 minutes.
With respect and a modicum of urgency.

Glenn Greenwald | To See the Real Story in Brazil, Look at Who Is Being Installed as President - and Finance Chiefs
Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept
Greenwald writes: "It's not easy for outsiders to sort through all the competing claims about Brazil's political crisis and the ongoing effort to oust its president, Dilma Rousseff.

Panama Papers Include One of US's Biggest Wartime Military Contractors
Adam Weinstein, Catherine Dunn and Miriti Murungi, Fusion
Excerpt: "Triple Canopy was one of military contracting's 800-pound gorillas, formed after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 - and even its formation was a stroke of boldness. Since then, it had become a major player, inheriting many of embattled contractor Blackwater's responsibilities when that company fell out of favor in Iraq."

Kaveh Waddell, The Atlantic
Waddell writes: "Automatic license-plate reading technology isn't just used by police.

Crash and Burn: Confronting Capitalism's Toll on the Environment
Kate Aronoff, Jacobin
Aronoff writes: "If climate wonks have a Holy Grail, it's decoupling rising greenhouse gas emissions from a rising GDP. Paths to economic growth have historically involved digging up and burning massive stores of carbon held in fossil fuels."
