Ya tiene la 4T su tragedia tipo guardería ABC. Negligencia de seres humanos a tu cargo quemados. Lo ocurrido en Ciudad Juárez es inaceptable. Hacinados dejaron a los #migrantes morir encerrados, 39 muertos y 29 heridos, algunos graves

Borders kill. All love and rage to the families of the migrants killed & injured in the migrant containment center in Ciudad Juarez (part of the US's border outsourcing policies, with full complicity of Mexican govt) nbcnews.com/news/mexico/fi…

The recent St Lawrence drownings and the Juarez fire are tragedies but not accidents. They're predictable outcomes of restrictive #migration policies, like the closure of #Roxham rd.

Juárez fire and St Lawrence drownings are tragedies, not accidents. They are predictable outcomes of anti-#Immigration policies, incl '#SafeThirdCountry' Agreements. The latest is the closure of #Canada's Roxham Rd. The Conversation Canada joe_belliveau theconversation.com/tragedies-not-…

Today is one month that a preventable fire at the INM detention center in #Juarez led to the death of 40 migrant men--many of them indigenous youth. Media attention has now vanished. However, people are still camping outside of the facility demanding answers and justice.

"It was a tragedy," he said. "Everyone in Europe must not accept this situation. We have to do something. Everyone has to do something so it doesn't happen again." Manolis Makaris, bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

It's so awful to watch this knowing that hundreds of people on that boat might be alive today if Frontex & Greece had used all possible means to rescue them

Lärarna och vårdpersonalen har redan sagt sitt: De kommer aldrig ange människor på flykt. Regeringen måste stoppa angiverilagen i papperskorgen. agera.skiftet.org/campaigns/stop…

We are horrified by the recent Israeli bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. It is absolutely unacceptable...

Nothing justifies this shocking attack on a hospital and its many patients and health workers, as well as the people who sought shelter there. Hospitals are not a target. This bloodshed must stop. Enough is enough.

The longer version of the video of Egyptian podcaster Rahma Zein confronting CNN reporter Clarissa Ward at the Rafah crossing. It's raw, sincere, and powerful. Much respect for Rahma, she expressed our collective pain at the Western media's dehumanization of the Palestinians.
