Juan Cole | Top 3 Signs Bill Clinton Didn't Kill Himself to "Give" the Palestinians a State
Juan Cole, Informed Comment
Cole writes: "Former President Bill Clinton on Saturday claimed 'I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state,' and maintained that he secured an agreement, which the Palestinians turned down. In fact, no such text was ever presented to the Palestinian side, and then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak kept flaking out on commitments previously made, leaving the Palestinian negotiators with nothing to agree to."

Alice Ollstein, ThinkProgress
Ollstein writes: "For decades, Oregon has been at the forefront of making it easier to vote. Two decades ago, the state began offering each and every eligible resident the option to vote by mail. Oregon later became the first to conduct all its elections by mail. Then, in 2015, Oregon became the first state in the nation to automatically register voters every time they visit a Department of Motor Vehicles."

Against the Crowdfunding Economy
Keith A. Spencer, Jacobin
Spencer writes: "Which people get to live their dreams and which do not? In the art world, as elsewhere, success is often tightly correlated with pedigree and acceptance into elite institutions. Simpsons writers are likely to be Harvard grads; musician and writer Leonard Cohen purchased his Greek artist's retreat with his trust fund; Lena Dunham's debt-free college education gave her the financial freedom to make her first film."

Sharon Lerner, The Intercept
Lerner writes: "Until recently, the fight over Roundup has mostly focused on its active ingredient, glyphosate. But mounting evidence, including one study published in February, shows it's not only glyphosate that's dangerous, but also chemicals listed as 'inert ingredients' in some formulations of Roundup and other glyphosate-based weed killers."
