☆ Growing fury from Maui residents over the direction of early wildfire recovery efforts
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Alicia Victoria Lozano | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

US President Joe Biden is embraced by Hawaii Governor Josh Green (C) after delivering remarks as he visits an area devastated by wildfires in Lahaina, Hawaii on August 21, 2023. Rebuilding hasn't even started after a deadly wildfire destroyed the historic town of Lahaina, Hawaii, last month, but residents are already angry and frustrated with recent moves by Gov. Now, they say, that pattern could be repeated with the aid of an emergency proclamation signed by Green that could erode their hard-won rights, despite his reassurances that rebuilding would reflect the needs of Maui residents. "It is a real slap in the face when we still have to deal with the aftermath of this fire." Green reinstated the water rules last week, but residents are wary that future proclamations could jeopardize their efforts to restore Maui's streams and wetlands.

For many Muslims, Ramadan means abstaining from food and drink while at work. So, how can non-Muslim colleagues be supportive, while also not accidentally making a micro-aggression toward someone who is observing Ramadan? At one office where Nasr worked, a boss privately asked her if she needed any special accommodations while observing Ramadan. Most Muslims use the Arabic phrase "Ramadan Mubarak," which translates to "have a blessed Ramadan" or "happy Ramadan, to greet each other. Plus, there are many other reasons why Muslims don't fast, like during illness or travel.

☆ Профсоюз немецких полицейских требует запретить протесты против «локдауна»

Председатель профсоюза полицейских Германии Райнер Вендт (Rainer Wendt) потребовал федерального запрета на акции сторонников движения Querdenker («Мыслящие нестандартно»), выступающих против правительственных мер по борьбе с пандемией, передаёт dw.com. По мнению Вендта, во время таких мероприятий «правонарушения запрограммированы заранее», поскольку многие их участники сознательно не соблюдают дистанцию и не носят маски. По официальным данным, во время беспорядков 1 мая в Берлине пострадали 93 полицейских. Власти городов и коммун Германии требуют от федерального правительства единого общенационального плана по выходу из локдауна. «Спустя более года в режиме пандемии объяснить гражданам, почему мы двигаемся на ощупь, становится все сложнее», — добавил он.
