By Anabel Hernández for The Huffington Post - I'm writing to make public that I received a threat on Nov. 4 in my home in Mexico City that resulted from my work as an investigative reporter. In Mexico, the brutal truth is that journalists get murdered for doing their work. More than 100 journalists have been killed over the last decade and the vast majority of their killers enjoy total impunity. In 2015 alone, at least seven journalists have been killed: Rubén Espinosa, Gerardo Nieto, Armando Saldaña, Abel Manuel Bautista,Filadelfo Sánchez, Juan Mendoza and Moisés Sánchez.

Indigenous Children Face Extreme Rates Of State Violence

July 13, 2015 Britney Schultz, www.truth-out.org Resist! Capitalism, Children, Indigenous People, State Violence

By Britney Schultz in Truthout - The plight of Indigenous children recently made headlines, as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission released a damning report calling the country's long-held policy of removing Native children from their families by force and placing them in state-funded residential schools "cultural genocide." According to the report, even before Canada was founded in 1867, churches were operating boarding schools for Indigenous children, and the last federally supported residential school didn't close until the late 1990s. In the US, Native children were subjected to similar policies for more than a century.Article VII of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 stated, "In order to insure the civilization of the Indians entering into this treaty … they, therefore, pledge themselves to compel their children, male and female, between the ages of six and sixteen years, to attend school."
