Hundreds of protestors at Standing Rock have been arrested, and the Sioux tribe has asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate abuses\u00a0by police officers against those blocking the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.<\/p>\n

OtherWords cartoonist Khalil Bendib shows how a federal judge gets it wrong on this case, opting to protect big oil at the expense of the planet.<\/p>\n

Also this week in OtherWords,\u00a0Mike Merryman-Lotze tells the side of the\u00a0Israeli-Palestine conflict that’s often left out of mainstream media:\u00a0Every day Palestinian refugees in Gaza live in fear of another Israeli attack.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, columnist Jill Richardson outlines the stark similarities between Donald Trump’s rhetoric and that of an abusive partner. And Isaiah Poole of People’s Action tells us\u00a0how progressives are working to heal the racial divides\u00a0perpetuated by Trump-like politicians throughout the nation.<\/p>\n

Finally, Jim Hightower says it’s not enough\u00a0for Wells Fargo to get rid of CEO John Stumpf when other top executives have helped create a sales culture that’s rotting the bank from the top down. And Josh Hoxie predicts that post-election season, the people will be calling for reforms to inequities in our tax code.<\/p>\n
