-------- REMEMBERING U.S. SOLDIERS WHO REFUSED TO KILL NATIVE AMERICANS AT
SAND CREEK ----------------------------------------------------------
* Billy J. Stratton
*
/ The Conversation
/
A scholar shares the true story of two men who stood up and spoke
out against the murder of American Indians, and how they are celebrated
today. Native American tribal members pay their respects at the headstone of
Union Officer, Capt. Silas Soule, at the Riverside Cemetery Dec. 03, 2014 in
honor of the 150th Anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre.

-------- U.S. GOVERNMENT REPORT: U.S. SHOULD MANAGE CLIMATE RISKS AS COSTS
SOAR ----------------------------------------------------------------
* Valerie Volcovici

/
The U.S. federal government should adopt a strategy to manage
climate change risks, as their cost to the government may rise as much as $35
billion per year by mid-century, a congressional watchdog office report
released on Monday said.

-------- IMAGINE A PUERTO RICO RECOVERY DESIGNED BY PUERTO RICANS ------------
* Elizabeth Yeampierre, Naomi Klein
*
/ The Intercept
/
Much of Puerto Rico still has no power, people are not able to
work, students cannot return to school, too many are forced to rely on
contaminated drinking water. Under the banner of a “just recovery” for
Puerto Rico, thousands have come together to design a bold and holistic plan
for the island to be rebuilt as a beacon for a safe, resilient, and thriving
society in the era of accelerating climate chaos, spiraling economic
inequality, and rising white nationalism.

-------- THE REAL DISUNITING OF AMERICA AND THE DANGEROUS TREND THREATENING
THE FUTURE OF THE NATION-STATE --------------------------------------
* John Feffer
*
/ Tom Dispatch
/
A country that hasn’t had a civil war in more than 150 years,
where secessionist movements from Texas to Vermont have generally caused
merriment not concern, now faces divisions so serious, and a civilian arsenal
of weapons so huge, that the possibility of national disintegration has
become part of mainstream conversation. Indeed, after the 2016 elections,
predicting a second civil war in the United States has become all the rage
across the political spectrum.

-------- AFL-CIO MUST SHINE LIGHT ON PAST FOREIGN POLICY, ACTIVISTS SAY ------
* Larry Sillanpa
*
/ Labor World
/
Delegates to the Duluth AFL-CIO Central Labor Body passed a
resolution calling on the national AFL-CIO to release sealed documents on its
history with AIFLD, the American Institute for Free Labor Development. In
1992, workers at a Ford assembly plant in Mexico were attacked after a
strike, leaving 12 workers wounded and one dead. Questions remain that have
not been answered about AIFLD's role in what happened.

-------- POLICE ARE THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION ----------------------------
* Michael Hirsch
*
/ The Indypendent
/
The author argues convincingly and in graphic detail that the
problem with police in civil society is not just the lack of adequate
training, police diversity, increased militarization or even police methods
such as the routine brutalization of many people of color, but the dramatic
and unprecedented expansion in the last four decades of the too-accepted
social role of police. The problem, the sociologist-author insists, is
policing itself.
