Planned Parenthood asks judge to halt Texas Medicaid cuts

0

NewsHubAUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Planned Parenthood has asked a federal judge to stop Texas from cutting it from the state’s Medicaid program, which the nation’s largest abortion provider says would reduce health services for nearly 11,000 low-income women.
The request to U. S. District Sam Sparks was filed late Friday in Austin and is part of an ongoing lawsuit filed last year. Texas is one of several Republican-controlled states that have sought to deny Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood following the release of secretly recorded and heavily edited videos by an anti-abortion group last year.
Investigations by 13 states into those videos have concluded without criminal charges, and Planned Parenthood officials have denied any wrongdoing. A Houston grand jury indicted two activists behind the videos over how they covertly gained access inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, but a judge later dismissed the charges.
Federal judges have stopped Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas and Mississippi from similarly excluding Planned Parenthood from Medicaid reimbursements in wake of the videos. Texas is set to cut off Planned Parenthood as early as Jan. 21 unless Sparks grants an injunction.
Sparks had previously set a hearing in the case for Jan. 17.
“Courts have unanimously prevented these terminations and agreed that preventing Medicaid enrollees from obtaining care from the qualified provider of their choice violates federal law,” attorneys for Planned Parenthood wrote in their request for an injunction.
Aides to Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday.
Paxton’s office has said it is still investigating the videos — more than 18 months after launching an inquiry. But Texas health officials in the meantime pointed to the videos in sending a letter earlier this month to Planned Parenthood, which the state accuses of making misleading statements.
President-elect Donald Trump could also move to strip Planned Parenthood of nearly $400 million in Medicaid funds after taking office. Republicans moved through Congress last year legislation to cut taxpayer funds to the 100-year-old organization, but President Barack Obama vetoed it.
Trump sent mixed signals during his campaign about Planned Parenthood but has endorsed calls to defund the group.

An Open Letter to Myself on New Year’s Day 2017

Forebodings
I have a politically active liberal friend who in the aftermath of the Trump victory believes rather fervently that ‘clarity,’ not ‘hope,’ is the opposite of ‘despair.’ To be awake to unpleasant, even dire, realities and resist the temptations of denial demands increasing resolve in the face of the mounting evidence that the human species is facing a bio-political moment threatening civilizational collapse and species decline and fall as never before.
Wakefulness can give rise to mindfulness, encouraging radical choices of right action individually, and even possibly collectively. My friend’s clarity was more narrowly focused—limited to recovering and carrying on in America after the unexpected electoral victory of Trump. For those of us living here, the fear of what Trump will do ‘to make America great again’ is overwhelming and deeply depressing without taking the slightest account of the bio-political crisis threatening the future of the human habitat as well as already producing the extinction of many species that are being swept away by forces beyond their, and more often, our control.
The wonderful Euromed Team that lends valuable civil society support to the Palestinian people and their prolonged struggle, counsels a different spirit in their holiday message: “Keep Calm, Stay Human.” I will do my best to heed this advice. Calmness rather than hysteria, human as profiled by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, especially in the often neglected, yet aptly visionary, language of its Preamble. Treat others, near and far, with the dignity they and you deserve, and do your utmost to protect those vulnerable within your reach whether family, community, country, and world.
Another source of insight relevant to this moment comes from the brilliantly progressive Jean Bricmont, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Louvain and author of Humanitarian Intervention: Using Human Rights to Sell War (2006) and other books, who insist that all positive political action rests on a foundation of ‘hope and indignation.’(p.7) I view ‘hope’ as a matter of informed will as contrasted with optimism, which is often an escapist refusal to acknowledge surrounding risks, harms, and dangers. Optimists too often greet the future with a vacuous benign smile as if there is nothing to worry about so long as you meditate twice a day. To be authentically hopeful under current conditions presents a difficult essentially spiritual challenge, which depends on some form of faith, given the depth of the multiple crises that imperil human and non-human futures. ‘Indignation’ is an appropriate response to the pervasive wrongs associated with corruption, exploitation, patriarchy, and unjustifiable discrimination, and serves as a necessary foundation for raising political consciousness, making mobilization feasible and transformation possible.
Right-wing Populism: A Vehicle for 21 st Century Fascism?
Others are sounding various alarms in anxious response to the rise of right-wing populism in a series of countries around the world, warning us that a 21 st century fascist virus is viciously attacking hearts, bodies, and minds, often with a democratic mandate, giving rise to a new generation of popular autocrats. This virus is dangerously contagious imperiling the body politic of an increasing number of societies. It appeals especially, even if unconsciously, to those escaping from the discontents of and alienation brought about by the predatory effects of neoliberal globalization. In Europe and North America, especially, these discontents are being dangerously aggravated by anti-immigration nativism, hysteria, demagoguery, libertarian gun policies, and monetized politics. Some perceive fascism in different guises emerging in a variety of societies, capturing and magnifying state power, scapegoating minorities, reversing feminist gains, encouraging a science-defying consumerism, and diverting attention from the menaces posed by the possession, development, and deployment of nuclear weaponry, as well as by a planetary temperature that is pushing against thresholds of irreversibility.
I found the following cautionary list composed by the eminent Yale historian, Timothy D. Snyder, author of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (2010) and Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning (2015), perceptive, instructive, and above all, a stimulus of further thought. Pondering Snyder’s list of 20 lessons is to be forewarned. The intended audience seems to those of us living in the West, either Europe or North America.
Snyder List of 20 Lessons (dated Dec. 1, 2016)
“Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so. Here are twenty lessons from the twentieth century, adapted to the circumstances of today.
[Snyder suggests that if this list seems useful, print it out and pass it around!
I find this list of concerns to be suggestive and useful, despite not perceiving quite the same trajectory of political threat. In some respects, the vigilance proposed by Snyder is summarized by Pastor Martin Niemoller’s extraordinary poem written beneath the crushing weight of Nazi Germany:
First They Came
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
**************************************
What seems beyond questioning in the present context within the United States is the political imperative to become maximally engaged. It is crucial that there be many highly visible citizens of conscience and that we all remain on high alert with respect to the dangers posed by a governing process dominated by a media oriented demagogue that has mobilized right-wing populism in the US as never before and is surrounding himself with dedicated reactionary ideologues.
Although this last commentary narrows concerns to American forebodings, the intended and unintended consequences are certain to be much broader. The United States acts as a global state. When Washington makes mistakes they tend to reverberate around the world. This is most obvious with regard to the economic, environmental, and security policy agendas, and also there are likely to be various negative impacts on geopolitical behavior raising risks of international warfare, although this is not entirely clear at this stage. If Trump’s opening to Russia is not thwarted by the American national security establishment, which is how I mainly interpret the Obama move to sanction Russia in retaliation for the recent hacking episode. The American reaction of outraged innocence seems wildly overblown considering our own cyber-attacks on Iran and the many flagrant interferences over the years under CIA auspices with foreign elections and even elected governments. Thankfully Putin is so far repudiating the tit-for-tat game, and would deserve credit, along possibly with Trump, for halting this disastrous push by the deep state in the United States to revive the cold war, this time with high hot war risks.
The Calmer Liberal Option
For still others, for whom political activism in a largely liberal mode is the key to avoiding a deeper descent into a planetary inferno the call is: ‘don’t despair, organize and resist.’ The brilliantly attuned filmmaker and cultural critic, Michael Moore, offers Americans a five-point plan for resistance worth reflecting upon:
1) visit local congress representatives to express concerns;
2) insist on the drastic reorganization of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) taking the form of progressive leadership;
3) form local rapid response teams of 5-10, consisting of friends, neighbors, family that can protest adverse developments as they occur;
4) Participate in the protest events in Washington relating to the inauguration of Donald Trump as the next American president, as well as protests elsewhere;
5) Devise a Plan B because as bad as you think things will be, they will actually will be worse. Moore’s proposal is very much responsive to the peculiarities of the current American political landscape, essentially relying on liberal values and associated procedures for energizing constructive forms of participation in this type of constitutional democracy.
Whether it goes nearly far enough to counteract the Trump surge is a question not likely to be answered by the end of 2017 at the earliest, but I have my strong doubts. Without addressing the roots of the malaise, which are shaped by neoliberal capitalism, militarism, nuclearism, and patriarchy, we are, at best, in my view, playing for time. At worst, fiddling while the planet burns.
The Progressive Case for Trump: Abstractions Lost in the Ruins
I have several admirable overseas progressive friends that continue to rejoice in the defeat of Hillary Clinton, equating the rejection of her candidacy with a major defeat for the US national security establishment. It is important not to dismiss these views. It is well to remember that during the electoral campaign most Republican defense stalwarts and high profile neocons denounced Trump and threw their support to Clinton. Added to this were several substantive issues. Trump’s campaign calls for an end to regime-changing interventions and state-building ventures throughout the Middle East. If implemented, this seems to presage a kind of welcome geopolitical retreat from the region. And, of course, Trump’s much publicized support for a cooperative relationship with Russia, despite the crimes of Vladimir Putin, angered and worried the establishment consensus. It should be appreciated that Trump seems to be stepping back from Obama’s irresponsible diplomacy with respect to Russia, a dynamic that Clinton would certainly have accelerated against a background of Beltway applause.
The most telling opposition of security insiders to Trump’s candidacy arose in my view because he seemed to be proposing an abandonment of what I have in the past called the ‘Global Domination Project,’ which was the grand strategy associated with American ambitions to play a hegemonic security role associated that was to be expected of the first global state in human history. Anti-Trump militarists should not be too discouraged as Trump promises ‘to rebuild the American military’ and has appointed a series of notorious militarists to the most critical security positions, making his ‘America First’ rhetoric unlikely to be translated into policies associated with lowering the American security profile around the world. There are likely to be ambiguous and questionable responses to Trump’s encouragement of foreign governments to invest more in their own defense and his seeming complacency about the further proliferation of nuclear weaponry.
Despite these weighty considerations I feel strongly to that Trump’s ascendancy to power is posing apocalyptic risks that all sane persons should act to avoid. Also Trump’s victory overlooks the likely impact of his domestic policies on the vulnerable (immigrants, minorities, women, especially African Americans, Muslims, Hispanics) and poor, a prospect given frightening potency by an irresponsibly right-wing Congress and a supportive Supreme Court. It also fails to take account of Trump’s counter-terrorist extremism (‘crush ISIS,’ revive waterboarding, and authorizing even worse forms of torture) and seeming casual embrace of nuclearism, both by seeming to tell allies to consider developing their own nuclear weapons arsenal and promising to retain a position on top of nuclear weapons pyramid even if means unleashing an expensive and dangerous arms race.
There is bound to be uncertainty and confusion associated with the early stages of the Trump’s presidency. Despite trembling at the prospect, no one knows exactly what to expect. For one thing, Trump contradicts himself frequently, or restates his most provocative proposals with decidedly more moderate ideas about implementation. For another, there is a tension between his primary persona as an exemplary entertainer of the digital age and his hard line cabinet and staff appointees who seem primed to actualize a reactionary agenda. Whether the president as commander-in-chief will turn out this time to be the entertainer-in-chief is at this point anyone’s best guess. And just maybe, given the alternatives, the world will be better off with an entertainer, especially if the political class steps back to let the show go on! What might be most toxic would be a kind of collaborative governing process that provides media performances as spectacular distractions (bread and circuses of our time) while an unfolding assortment of regressive programs, policies, and practices were being enacted.

NewsHubBad Grönenbach (dpa) – Bei einer Karambolage mehrerer Fahrzeuge im dichten Nebel auf der Autobahn 7 im Unterallgäu sind in der Silvesternacht mehrere Menschen gestorben. Zudem gebe es zahlreiche Verletzte, sagte ein Sprecher des Polizeipräsidiums Schwaben Süd/West am frühen Morgen. Die Lage sei derzeit derart unübersichtlich, dass er noch keine genauen Zahlen zu den Opfern bekanntgeben könne. Nahe Bad Grönenbach waren den Angaben zufolge mehrere Fahrzeuge kollidiert. Zahlreiche Rettungskräfte seien vor Ort. Die Polizei sperrte die A7 in Fahrtrichtung Ulm zunächst komplett.

Viele Tote bei Doppelanschlag in Bagdad

0

NewsHubEin Markt in Bagdad ist Ziel eines verheerenden Doppelanschlags geworden. Viele Menschen wurden getötet, viele verletzt. Noch hat sich niemand zu der Tat von zwei Selbstmordattentätern bekannt.
Auf einem Markt im Zentrum Bagdads sind zwei Bomben explodiert. Bei dem Doppelanschlag wurden mindestens 21 Menschen getötet und Dutzende weitere verletzt.
Die Angriffe ereigneten sich demnach in den Morgenstunden in Al-Sinak, einem belebten Markt, auf dem unter anderem Autozubehör, Lebensmittel und Bekleidung verkauft werden. Zu dem Angriff bekannte sich noch niemand. Auch Details zum Tathergang sind noch unklar.
Die Polizei hatte zunächst mitgeteilt, dass zwei Bomben unmittelbar nacheinander am Straßenrand explodiert seien. Ein Polizeivertreter sagte später, dass zunächst nur ein Sprengsatz an der Straße detoniert sei. Im Anschluss habe ein Selbstmordattentäter seine Bombe in die Luft gesprengt, als sich eine Menschenmenge am Tatort versammelt habe. Letztlich stellte die Polizei fest, dass das Blutbad die Tat zweier Selbstmordattentäter gewesen sei.
Schon während der Weihnachtsfeiertage waren bei mehreren Bombenanschlägen rund um Bagdad mindestens elf Zivilisten getötet und Dutzende weitere verletzt worden. Zu Attacken dieser Art kommt es fast täglich im Irak. Viele davon reklamierte die Terrormiliz “Islamischer Staat” für sich.

Willkommen 2017: Feiern unter Polizeischutz

0

NewsHubHunderttausende haben mit einem Feuerwerk am Brandenburger Tor das neue Jahr begrüßt. Bisher sind die Silvesterfeiern in Deutschland friedlich verlaufen. Tausende Polizisten sind in Berlin und Köln im Einsatz. Am Hauptbahnhof Köln kontrollierte die Polizei 1000 Personen.
Mit einem Feuerwerk am Brandenburger Tor haben hunderttausende Menschen in Berlin das neue Jahr begrüßt. Die Feierlichkeiten verliefen bisher ohne Zwischenfälle, teilte eine Sprecherin des Veranstalters mit. Es gebe viele fröhlich feiernde Menschen. In ganz Berlin sind in dieser Nacht 2500 Polizisten aus mehreren Bundesländern unterwegs, 1700 davon rund um die zwei Kilometer lange Partymeile zwischen Siegessäule und Brandenburger Tor.
Wie in den Jahren zuvor waren auf dem eingezäunten Gelände Böller und Raketen verboten, wie auch Glasflaschen und alkoholische Getränke. Rucksäcke, große Taschen und Koffer dürfen die Eingänge zur Partymeile ebenfalls nicht passieren. Jeder, der mitfeiern will, wird streng kontrolliert.
Nach dem Lkw-Anschlag auf einen Berliner Weihnachtsmarkt Mitte Dezember war die Festmeile zwischen dem Brandenburger Tor und der Siegessäule mit Zäunen, Betonblöcken und Fahrzeugen abgeriegelt. Besucher wurden streng kontrolliert, Feuerwerkskörper und andere gefährliche Gegenstände waren verboten. Polizisten waren auch mit Maschinengewehren im Einsatz.
Am Kölner Hauptbahnhof und am Deutzer Bahnhof wurden am Abend hunderte Nordafrikaner überprüft, wie eine Sprecherin der Polizei Köln sagte. Sie seien angehalten und kontrolliert worden. In Fällen, in denen keine Papiere vorgelegt werden konnten, habe es auch Platzverweise gegeben.
Die Polizei war in Köln mit einem Großaufgebot vor Ort, nachdem es im vergangenen Jahr massenhaft sexuelle Belästigungen von Frauen und Diebstähle durch zumeist nordafrikanische Täter gegeben hatte. 1500 Polizisten waren im Einsatz – mehr als zehnmal so viele wie 2015. Hinzu kamen rund 300 Bundespolizisten. Auch in Köln kommen Betonelemente und große Fahrzeuge als Sperren gegen mögliche Attentäter zum Einsatz.
Auf der Reeperbahn und der Großen Freiheit, auf den Landungsbrücken und am Jungfernstieg in Hamburg stimmten sich die Menschen ebenfalls ohne größere Vorkommnisse auf das neue Jahr ein, wie die Polizei mitteilte.
Diese Orte werden nach den Übergriffen im vergangenen Jahr besonders geschützt. 530 Beamte sind dort im Einsatz. Das sind 50 Prozent mehr als zu Silvester 2015. Entlang der Reeperbahn sind die Überwachungskameras wieder eingeschaltet. Die beliebten Treffpunkte, wo jedes Jahr Tausende Menschen Silvester feiern, werden durch Betonblöcke oder Fahrbahnsperrungen gesichert.
Angesichts der Terrorgefahr hatte auch Frankreich ein Großaufgebot der Sicherheitskräfte zum Schutz der Silvesterfeiern mobilisiert. Im ganzen Land seien mehr als 96.000 Polizisten und Soldaten im Einsatz, sagte Innenminister Bruno Le Roux. Allein in Paris und Umgebung sind es 7000 Polizisten und Soldaten.
In der britischen Hauptstadt fahren erstmals bewaffnete Sicherheitskräfte auch in Zügen und U-Bahnen mit. Barrikaden und Fahrverbote in der Innenstadt sollen verhindern, dass sich Anschläge mit Lastwagen wie in Nizza oder Berlin wiederholen, teilte Scotland Yard mit. Ein Polizeisprecher betonte aber, es handle sich dabei nur um vorsorgliche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. Man habe “keine konkreten Hinweise” auf Anschlagspläne in London. Wie im vergangenen Jahr sollen rund 3000 Polizisten im Zentrum für Sicherheit sorgen.
Auch in Italien ist man wenige Tage nach der Erschießung des mutmaßlichen Attentäters von Berlin in erhöhter Alarmbereitschaft. In zahlreichen Städten – unter anderem in Turin, Bologna und Venedig – gilt Medienberichten zufolge ein Böllerverbot. In Mailand werden die Sicherheitschecks auf den wichtigsten öffentlichen Plätzen verstärkt. Aus den Stadtzentren von Rom und Neapel wurden Lastwagen verbannt.
Im Madrid sind 1600 Polizisten zusätzlich im Einsatz. Zudem wird die Zahl der Besucher für den beliebten Platz Puerta del Sol im Zentrum – wie schon im vergangenen Jahr – begrenzt. Es gibt scharfe Zugangskontrollen.
In Brüssel, wo im März 16 Menschen durch den IS getötet und 150 weitere verletzt wurden, wurde zeitweilig eine Absage des Feuerwerks erwogen. Vor wenigen Tagen gab der Bürgermeister dann aber doch grünes Licht für das Spektakel.
