America's Lawyer Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire Radio, joins Thom Hartmann. The War on Terror has come home. Back in 2006 - we learned that the CIA was running secret overseas prisons - or black sites - where they indefinitely detained and tortured terrorism suspects. When news first broke about these black sites - most Americans were shocked to learn that the CIA was working with some of world’s most repressive governments to run what were essentially glorified dungeons. But until just a few days ago - very few of us knew that back home - right here in the United States - one of the biggest police departments in the country had a secret dungeon of its own.

Millions of Americans have flocked to theaters to see the film adaptation of the wildly popular erotic novel series Fifty Shades of Grey. At first glance - the film and story seem to be about a woman who becomes filled with lust and desire for a well-off businessman. And - even the book's author says it's just about a simple - albeit very passionate - love story. But - when you take a better look at Fifty Shades of Grey - you see that it's more than just a run-of-the-mill love story. It's actually a great commentary on the role that capitalism is playing in America today. Joining me now for more on all of this is Lynn Stuart Parramore - founding editor of New Deal 2.0, contributing editor with Alternet and Reuters and author of "Whips, chains and capitalism: What ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ is really about."

Right now - there are around 2.4 million Americans sitting in a jail cell - a 500% increase over the past three decades - and a disproportionate number of those inmates are of color. So - how did our jails get so crowded - and what can be done to change this disturbing trend across the country? Joining me now for more on all of this is Maya Schenwar - Editor in Chief of Truthout and Author of the book, "Locked Down, Locked Out: Why Prison Doesn't Work and How We Can Do Better"

So - what are the in's and out's of the new law - and is Washington, D.C going to become America's Amsterdam? Let's ask Dr. Malik Burnett - Policy Manager with the Office of National Affairs with the Drug Policy Alliance.

The Bad! Rep. Sheila Butt (R-TN!) The House Majority Floor Leader is under fire today after apparently calling on Facebook for a National Association for the Advancement of White People. In response to a post about how the Council on Islamic Relations is trying to organize Muslim voters - Butt said “It’s time for a Council of Christian Relations and a NAAWP in this Country.” Butt - of course - denies that her comments were racist and says that by “NAAWP” she simply meant National Association for the Advancement of WESTERN People - which - to be honest - doesn’t sound much better. Oh - and by the way - we already have a “National Association for the Advancement of White People” in this country. It’s called the KKK.

The FCC will vote tomorrow on President Obama's proposed net-neutrality rules. The FCC is expected to adopt rules making broadband providers common carriers - just like telephone companies. The new rules would largely prevent broadband providers - like Comcast - from throttling internet speeds and preventing access to certain websites. Basically - the rules would protect open access to the internet for all Americans...
