Last week a black pickup truck plowed into a large crowd of anti-racist demonstrators protesting the police killing of Breonna Taylor in Hollywood. Video of the incident shows the driver hit a young man, subsequently accelerating over his body to escape a crowd converging on him. In Seattle, a man in a black sedan car barreled into a large

Cómo AOC desafió el mito de Yitzhak Rabin, el pacificador

Cuando se publicó que AOC se retiraba de un monumento a Yitzhak Rabin, el agente de relaciones públicas de Peace Now en Israel lo llamó “un guerrero con esqueletos convertido en pacificador, una descripción que traiciona su sangriento pasado.

If it wasn’t for Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), not many people would have heard about the memorial event being held to commemorate 25 years since the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. AOC was invited by Americans for Peace Now, or APN, to participate in this event. Although she initially accepted the invitation,

The U.S. government is indicting the Australian living on the other side of the world under its own Espionage Act, with the case widely seen as setting an important precedent for freedom of speech and of the media worldwide. Yet as the case reaches its pinnacle, a

Fianza de $ 15,000 para Breonna Taylor Killers. Fianza de $ 1 millón para personas que protestan contra la violencia policial

El trato indulgente que han recibido Brett Hankinson y otros policías asesinos contrasta directamente con los que protestan contra la violencia policial.

Brett Hankinson, the sole Louisville police officer indicted Wednesday over his role in the killing of African-American ER technician Breonna Taylor, posted his $15,000 bail within hours of being booked. Hankinson is being indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment over the March 13 incident, where a squad of police conducted a no-knock raid

Lee Camp: Woodward revela accidentalmente que no es diferente del "supervillano" Julian Assange

La próxima vez que veas a una cabeza parlante de los principales medios de comunicación adular a Woodward, solo recuerda que si tuvieran alguna columna vertebral, algún núcleo moral, estarían adulando a Assange.
