t r u t h o u t | When you can't trust the mainstream media, your political leaders or even the history books, who can you rely on to set the record straight? That's a huge part of what we do at Truthout, in the stories we publish every day. It's also part of the purpose of each of this month's Progressive Picks. These are books that set the record straight about the connection between climate change and the current global economy, about the sorry state of the corporate media, about the ongoing legacy of colonial genocide and the realities of US foreign policy today. Some of these authors are trusted names that you no doubt recognize, like the redoubtable Noam Chomsky and the famously insightful Naomi Klein. Others may be less familiar - but in each case, these books come highly recommended by Truthout, whether it's the scathing comedy of #NEWSFAIL or the vitally important correction to the historical record provided by An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States. Further inspiration is offered in the form of the latest Peace Calendar from the Syracuse Cultural Workers. For the fourth year running, we're proud to offer this unique calendar - always a popular item with our readers, because it celebrates the values you share.
