The crimes of the US police do not stop, where the violations of Human Rights are constant.
Casey Goodson, 23, was killed with his house keys in the lock, shot by a police officer.
A police officer, working for a fugitive unit, shot and killed a black man entering his own home in Columbus, Ohio, last week in a case that is now under investigation by federal authorities.
Casey Goodson, 23, was shot and killed Friday by a Franklin County Sheriff’s Office deputy, identified as Jason Meade. Meade was working for the fugitive unit, looking for violent criminals at the time, but Goodson was not a person on whom there was a search warrant for the unit, Columbus police said.
Goodson had put the keys in the door before he was shot and fell into the kitchen, where his 5-year-old brother and 72-year-old grandmother saw him lying on the floor with a sandwich, family attorney Sean Walton told the CNN.
Construction of the Pebble Mine, a huge gold and copper mine, was officially rejected.
The mining would have destroyed the vast natural area in Bristol Bay, Alaska, and displaced indigenous people.
Where whales sing, seals and walruses live and there are extensive wetlands, a huge mine would have irreparably destroyed the region. Bristol Bay is also known for its extraordinary stocks of salmon, which are the livelihoods of the native Eskimos, but also for food from orcas to thousands of brown bears. Huge mines would destroy the last of the salmon populations, like in Bristol Bay, forever.
After the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ decision last week to reject a key permit for Alaska’s proposed Pebble Mine, it’s clear that federal protection is now needed to permanently preserve this uniquely valuable resource.
The project threatened too much destruction to the immense salmon runs…
The author addresses the ‘cisgenders’ (most people) to denounce that we judge trans people, mistreat them, exclude them or kill them and that we ‘always know what is right’. At the same time, , also in the way identities are lived.

Eight in the morning. I look closely at the pills I slowly pulled out of the box. Seven tablets. Seven pills that in a few minutes, when I finish breakfast, I will take with the help of a glass of water. I think about how many people in this city take as many pills in the early hours of the morning as I do. Surely, at least my age, not many.
Afghanistan: American airstrikes in Helmand leave multiple civilians martyred and injured
Since President Donald Trump announced that he would “lift restrictions in 2017, the United States, its international allies, and the Afghan government have killed an average of 1,134 civilians per year, a nearly 95 percent increase from the average between 2007 and 2016, according to report released Monday.
‘Trump boasts that he hasn’t started wars, but the US military continues its atrocities around the world, Afghanistan is a meaningless everlasting war. Also Trump pulled out of Nth Syria in an agreement to let Turkey invade and carry out ongoing ethnic cleansing by Jihadi mercenaries’.
“What I do is I authorize my military,” Trump said. “We have given them total authorization and that’s what they’re doing and, frankly, that’s why they’ve been so successful lately.”
Last week in recurrent violation of the Doha agreement, American forces carried out airstrikes on a Mujahideen base and nearby civilian homes in Loy Bagh village of Nad Ali district, Helmand – an area quite far from any battleground and where no military activities were happening.
Chile. Amidst widespread mobilizations inside Chilean prisons for the restitution of dignified visits for prisoners, and 10 years since the massacre in the San Miguel Prison, Mónica Caballero, together with two other prisoners from the “Connotación Publica” module, have begun a hunger strike, uniting with the hunger strike already launched in the high-security prison.

Below we share the communique from Mónica, who provides a historical recollection of the different events of resistance and struggle that have marked this prison:
Without doubt, there are places which store thousands of histories. If the high walls of the prisons could speak of the experiences of those who were (and are) locked up behind them, perhaps they would tell us many histories. They would tell us histories where poor people would be the protagonists, or perhaps they would tell us of the immense yearning for freedom that fills the hearts of those who populate the dungeons and cells.
Follow RT on Washington’s willingness to punish WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won’t change with Joe Biden in office – and the UK government will do anything to help the US achieve this goal, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has told RT.
A decision by a British court on Assange’s extradition to the US, where he is wanted on espionage charges over his leaks of classified documents, is to be announced on January 4, 2021.
But Rogers, speaking to RT’s Going Underground, believes the upcoming ruling is quite easy to predict. UK authorities will “continue as they do – poodles as they are – to follow the instructions of Washington DC, which will be exactly the same, I suspect, from Joe Biden as they were from Donald Trump,” he said.
The whole extradition trial, which took place in London in the autumn, was “completely a setup job,” Rogers argued.
Serious concerns over the WikiLeaks founder’s health have been repeatedly raised, with a UN special rapporteur saying previously that there were signs the journalist had been subjected to “psychological torture” during his incarceration.
“The powers that be are hoping that Julian will die in prison,” Rogers told Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi.
Authorities in the UK “take no notice of the universal declaration on human rights… or law, or justice” by keeping Assange, who “committed no crime except a minor bail infringement,” behind bars, he added.
Rogers has long been a strong critic of Trump, but he’s not too excited about him being replaced in the White House by Democrat Joe Biden, who last year labelled Assange “a high-tech terrorist.”
“Biden is the servant of the oligarchy of the US. He’s not to be trusted,” he warned.
The president has changed his hat or his name. He’s called ‘Biden’. He was called ‘Trump’. The policies aren’t going to change.
Indeed, the only likely changes will be superficial, as Biden “won’t be quite as vile in public as Donald Trump was,” the Pink Floyd co-founder suggested.
“Who knows, maybe in four years’ time the DNC [Democratic National Committee] will wake up and will support a candidate that represents the needs and aspirations of ordinary working American people,” he added.
