This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out! we give you a lowdown last week on oil pipelines – but what about natural gas? Safer, right? Not so much. Here's the explosive reality of the natural gas pipelines criss crossing our nation. Next up, mining companies have been given a green light to pollute on your dime and the profession with the highest suicide rates in the country will surprise you. Finally, Mickey Huff from Project Censored joins us to talk about corporate media, truth in a post-truth era and stories you didn't know you didn't know.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.
