Since the night of October 10, 2012, Taide Elena and Araceli Rodriguez have traveled a long road to access justice for Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez. The road has not been easy. On three occasions, the U.S. government has denied them justice. On countless other events, the same government has violated their rights as victims of a crime that has become tragically common over the years: the murder of people -migrants or not- by U.S. Border Patrol agents. In the first trial on April 2018, a jury in a federal courtroom in Tucson, Arizona, acquitted Border Patrol agent Lonnie Swartz of second-degree […]

Philadelphia Victim’s Family Sought Ambulance, Not Police By October 28, 2020 Philadelphia Victim’s Family Sought Ambulance, Not Police2020-10-282020-10-28https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2020/10/philly-e1603897112433.jpg200px200px Above photo: Ada Gray/Twitter.

Keep that in mind as you read it because it shows many of the typical biases found in reports of police murders. It is also notable that the officers involved have not been interviewed. This is typical as officers are given time to craft their story before going on the record. This is one reason why police officers are usually not held […]
Describing the reveal regarding the Biden family’s alleged activities, Stear called it “the biggest political story” of his lifetime. Following the emergence of media reports about Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in the business dealings of his son Hunter during Obama’s presidency, US commentator Christopher Stear recently drew comparisons between the Biden family and a fictional mafia clan from a certain HBO series. While speaking to Sky News Australia regarding the matter, Stear remarked that “it’s a bit like the Soprano family, but probably worse”. “You’ve got Joe Biden on tape, admitting in front of an audience that he blackmailed the Ukranian […]

The owner of two adorable golden retrievers named Lily and Teddy has uploaded a video featuring one of the doggos posing for the camera with a toy giraffe family, who are apparently called Georgia, Gina and Johnny. Judging from the doggies’ page on Twitter, they are extremely fond of their toy, which is only natural given that golden retrievers are highly amicable creatures. Source link
North Dakota authorities are still searching for a 47-year-old mother who went missing nearly two weeks ago after leaving a small gathering on foot—and family members believe her disappearance may be tied to a love triangle. Anne Fitzsimonds, 47, walked away from the party at a farmstead in rural Petersburg—at least 26 miles away from her Inkster home—around 1:30 a.m on Oct. 4. She was wearing only a leather jacket, jeans, and cowboy boots, despite the frigid temperature, which dipped as low as 29 degrees. “There was no reason for her to leave.

Bombshell emails obtained by the New York Post made headlines on 14 October, as they suggested that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s overseas business affairs after all. The rapid spread of the story was, however, impeded by Facebook and Twitter, both of which limited users from sharing it under various pretexts. Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, previously pursued an agreement with a Chinese energy giant that would be “interesting” to him and his “family”, a new trove of emails published by the New York Post suggests.

The brutal gang rape and murder of a 19-year-old woman in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh state has triggered a nationwide uproar. The opposition has been demanding the resignation of the state chief over the scandal. Students from India’s top management institute have written to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the Hathras gang-rape, urging him to ensure that the victim’s family is not “intimidated, but supported to get justice”.

Biden, three years Trump’s elder, tested negative for COVID-19 twice on Friday. “Sending my prayers for the health and safety of the first lady and the president of the United States,” Biden told the audience at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Friday.

Unretouched Ivanka Guardian: She has tried to be the acceptable face of Trumpism while seemingly nurturing political ambitions of her own. But Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, did not emerge from recent revelations over his financial affairs unscathed.

Long before The New York Times began its review of the reporting in her critically acclaimed podcast, the paper was aware of deep concerns about star correspondent Rukmini Callimachi’s work, including from the family of James Foley, the American journalist brutally killed by ISIS in 2014. “She left our family with a lot of pain from her un-professionalism and lies,” James’ brother Michael Foley told The Daily Beast in an email. Last Friday, Canadian law enforcement arrested Shehroze Chaudhry, a 25-year-old Canadian man who claimed for years that he had worked as an executioner in the Islamic State. Chaudhry became a […]
Alas, the truth has done little to dissuade QAnon believers from the fictions of their conspiracy mythology. Unsurprisingly, the “Pizzagate” conspiracy that was QAnon’s forerunner should have fallen apart when an adherent wielded an assault rifle in a Washington pizzeria because he believed Hillary Clinton and her associates were running a child sex ring in its basement. The gunman found no Clinton, no children and no basement – and yet the themes of the conspiracy endure, and internationally. Yes, we have a QAnon problem in Australia now, too. Read more… H.

Amy Coney Barrett, the smart young nominee, accompanied by her young family (including seven children—two of whom were adopted from Haiti), entered the fray today. Noting the number of justices on the Supreme Court, she joked: “I’m used to being in a group of nine—my family.” It was a beautiful scene in the Rose Garden.

Errol Morris is one of non-fiction cinema’s all-time greats, a godfather of modern true crime thanks to 1988’s The Thin Blue Line, which famously got Randall Dale Adams off of death row. So when he says that another murderer is innocent of the crimes for which he’s been convicted, it’s necessary to listen—if not to instinctively believe him. And yet A Wilderness of Error, FX’s five-part adaptation of Morris’ 2012 book of the same name, makes a far from convincing case, raising plenty of doubt about whether the illustrious filmmaker was, in this instance, on the wrong side of the truth.

Breonna Taylor’s family has spoken out to address the decision of a Kentucky grand jury not to charge any officers involved in her killing with murder. The family slammed authorities, saying black people are “never safe.” At a Friday news conference in Louisville, Taylor’s family made it clear they were not happy with Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron or his recent announcement that a former cop involved in Taylor’s March shooting would face charges of “wanton endangerment” rather than murder charges, which activists have been calling for.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a national lockdown on 24 March “to protect the country, and each of its citizens…” in his “decisive fight against the Corona pandemic”. All activities, except certain essential services, were halted to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Exactly six months after India’s national lockdown started, and despite the gradual elimination of the measures, life has still not returned to what it was during the pre-lockdown period amid many curbs and new precautionary rules which are still in place. The latest guidelines issued by the federal Home Ministry on 29 August mandate that schools and colleges remain closed […]

SpaceX’s family of Starship prototypes continues to grow ahead of what promises to be one of the most ambitious test programs in rocket history.

Remember her grandfather Fred, the family patriarch who got arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally? Mary was surprised by that news, but “not because my grandfather wasn’t antisemitic.” Nope, Mary was shocked her grandfather took time away from making money to […]

As reported earlier — Portland has been protesting literally every night since late May. Many of these protests devolve into unlawful assemblies as violent leftists start to throw rocks and other debris at police, and it’s not uncommon for the police to declare these riots.
