FOCUS: Michael T. Klare | Drowning the World in Oil, Trump's Carbon-Obsessed Energy Policy and the Planetary Nightmare to Come
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch
Klare writes: "Scroll through Donald Trump's campaign promises or listen to his speeches and you could easily conclude that his energy policy consists of little more than a wish list drawn up by the major fossil fuel companies. If, however, you take a closer look at this morass of pro-carbon proposals, an obvious, if as yet unnoted, contradiction quickly becomes apparent."

Klare writes: "In a year of record-setting heat on a blistered globe, with fast-warming oceans, fast-melting ice caps, and fast-rising sea levels, ratification of the December 2015 Paris climate summit agreement - already endorsed by most nations - should be a complete no-brainer.

A Rape on
Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA
Sabrina Rubin Erdely, Rolling Stone
Erdely writes: "From reading headlines today, one might think colleges have suddenly become hotbeds of protest by celebrated anti-rape activists. But like most colleges across America, genteel University of Virginia has no radical feminist culture seeking to upend the patriarchy. There are no red-tape-wearing protests like at Harvard, no 'sex-positive' clubs promoting the female orgasm like at Yale, no mattress-hauling performance artists like at Columbia, and certainly no SlutWalks."
