Social workers in Tai Po fire relief warn of burnout after colleague dies
Lack of communication by government on aid plans often adds stress to heavy workload, they say.
"Government social workers supporting survivors of Hong Kong’s deadly Tai Po fire are struggling to manage their 'indefinite' duties, with poor communication about new initiatives compounding the stress of their already heavy caseloads."

Cette énième affaire est l’occasion de rappeler que la France exporte de longue date des technologies de surveillance à des régimes autoritaires. Ce qui a même valu à l’une de nos entreprises nationales – Amesys/Nexa – d’être poursuivie pour complicité de torture en Libye et en Égypte.

Official concedes 8-year-old who died in U.S. custody could have been saved as devastated family recalls final days
The parents of 8-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez told CBS News that their daughter died in Border Patrol custody because of negligence and discrimination.
In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia
You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Le nombre – provisoire – de morts est en soi absolument effroyable. Mais je ne suis pas sûr que l'on se rende pleinement compte de ce que représentent 330 000 blessé·e·s, et de ce que cela dit de la monstruosité terrifiante et inédite de la répression du mouvement par le régime.

Most of the victims are thought to have been younger than 30. Most casualties were recorded over two days of the most intense massacre carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij militia.

This morning, news from Ajdabia in eastern Libya, supported by visual evidence, reported the discovery of a mass grave in which at least 21 people were killed. They were vulnerable refugees fleeing from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Your policies of blocking safe pathways also killed them.
