"We have broken hearts. Everyone is traumatized and nervous," says Mariel Martinez, a social worker met near the shooting site. "Here, in this neighborhood, we work hard. We place great importance on family life. The fact that this happened in the middle of several schools, at 4 p.m., is shocking." New York has social workers, police officers, and local agencies capable of ensuring our protection. We do not need ICE. It brings us nothing. It only breaks families and inflicts trauma on our children and communities," adds Mariel Martinez. #JusticePourLesImmigrés #NewYork #Fusillade (translated)

Press Briefs reported, citing Le Monde, that Eden, 14 years old, had lost the ability to speak after being hit in the face by a tear gas grenade fired by a police officer on September 28 in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône. The projectile was allegedly fired at point-blank range and nearly broke all of his upper teeth, tore part of his gums, and caused a double jaw fracture. The police officer had been charged with violence resulting in mutilation or permanent disability and placed under judicial supervision. The publication added that students and teachers at the Château-d’Épluches high school remained in shock. A teacher was wondering how to support the students after the incident, while Ryan, a friend of Eden, had hung a sign reading "Justice for Eden" on the school gate and sent a photo to his friend. Eden had replied to him with a heart emoji. https://t.co/B2wcjxMAPH #JusticePourEden #ViolencesPolicières #LibertéDexpression (translated)

Kadima The law relayed, on the occasion of World Mental Health Day, a message from national deputy Christelle Vuanga. She reminded us that taking care of our mental health is also about taking care of our lives, and that this health deserves as much attention as physical health. She presented the act of breaking the silence, listening to others, and asking for help when needed as essential gestures for well-being, adding that taking care of oneself is not a weakness, but a necessity. #SantéMentale #BienÊtre #PrendreSoinDeSoi (translated)

Andris Kulbergs (AS) wrote that he, together with the representative of Estonia, Kristens Mihals, and the representative of Lithuania, Mindaugas Sinkevičius, submitted a proposal to the European Union to ban the transit of Russian grain on behalf of Latvia. He pointed out that this was to be decided by the EU leaders at the meeting in Brussels on October 15, and thanked Baiba Braže for the coordination and work. https://t.co/JFpVXfsrtO #EiropasSavienība #Krievija #graudi (translated)

Joueur du Grenier indicated that he played Squadron 42, the single-player mode of Star Citizen, in advance and had a good time. He praised the immersion, the richness of the environments and life scenes, which he compared to his walks in Night City, in Cyberpunk. He also enjoyed the first-person combat, the visual effects, the sound design, and the music. According to him, the interface was polished and seemed simpler than that of Star Citizen, perhaps in anticipation of a release on consoles. However, he believed that the game would not be suitable for everyone: out of five hours, about three were devoted to cutscenes, with also long sequences where the player followed characters by walking. He described it as a story-driven game rather than a space simulation or gameplay. Joueur du Grenier also reported issues with finishing, lighting, and textures, but said he encountered neither crashes nor significant blocking bugs. He found the artificial intelligence uneven, with some enemies helping each other or throwing grenades, while others seemed unresponsive. He ultimately compared the game to a dream version of Wing Commander and was pleased to have seen Mark Hamill. #StarCitizen #Squadron42 #Gaming (translated)

The riots are no longer a demonstration. BE-Alert has asked merchants to close. Businesses have been looted, windows broken. Independents are paying the price for violence that has nothing to do with their shop. It is unacceptable. For our party, and as the Minister of the Interior has already indicated: those who destroy must pay! On my side, I want to relieve the cash flow of merchants. According to Eléonore Simonet, "the riots are no longer a demonstration." #Liège #commerçants #manifestations (translated)

Russia is bombing Ukrainian ports and preventing Ukrainian grains from reaching the world market, but at the same time wants to profit from transporting its grains through the EU. Our infrastructure must not help Russia finance its war. We must increase pressure on the aggressor and help Ukraine deliver its goods to the world market. Mihals plans to raise this issue at the European Council meeting next week in Brussels. #Ukraina #KrievijasAgresija #Tirdzniecība (translated)

The author wrote that, three years after the Hamas terrorist attack, his thoughts were with the victims, their families, and all the people wounded that day. He added that their pain remained and that the victims and the shattered lives should not be forgotten.

Cerfia reported, citing Le Grand Continent, that a 28-year-old technician died of a fulminant pneumonia after accidentally breaking a test tube in a Russian laboratory in Irkutsk that may have contained the agent responsible for pneumonic plague. According to Cerfia, nearly 200 people had been placed in quarantine, several hospitals had taken preventive measures, and a large aluminum factory had mandated the wearing of masks. The technician reportedly did not immediately report the incident and went home before being hospitalized a few days later. Cerfia specified that the presence of pneumonic plague had not been confirmed and that no other cases had been either. #PestePulmonaire #SantéPublique #Quarantaine (translated)

David Lisnard praised a presentation and analysis that he deemed to be in the public interest. He believed that the degradation of public finances went hand in hand with the impotence of the state and threatened the future of France and future generations. According to him, under Emmanuel Macron, French public spending even exceeded that of Ceaușescu's communist Romania, while the country taxed and indebted itself more than others, often achieving poorer results. He called for the New Energy movement to put an end to this spiral, which he attributed to an elite that has been in power for decades despite its failures. #France #Politique #Avenir (translated)

There is not a word for the infrastructure costs for Latvians, not a word about some magical 300%, not a word about how difficult it is in Brussels, Africa, in life and the fate of the era... You see, through Estonia, the occupier's grains are not being transported right now. It is easier not to get on the needle than to try to get down. #Igaunija #infrastruktūra #politika (translated)

Seriously... The young man is a minor, his name is Mael, and his life is shattered because he participated in a more than legitimate mobilization considering the state of high schools in France. It’s a shame. The government must explain the instructions given to suppress the children of this country. #Éducation #Mobilisation #Gouvernement (translated)
