Military Targets Workers as Repression Escalates in Myanmar | Labor Notes

At least two union members were confirmed killed by the Myanmar military this week and at least six workers were shot dead at the Xing Jia shoe factory in the Hlaing Thar Yar industrial zone Tuesday, according to union leaders.

The factory workers, including the woman leader, were shot after the employer called the police when they demanded unpaid wages. Seventy workers were arrested and loaded onto two prisoner trucks.

Union leaders say the police and military violence against protesters in the industrial zones is much worse than is being reported because nationwide internet service repeatedly has been cut, including on Sunday before a violent crackdown.

Autism screening guidelines used worldwide providing incorrect information, report warns

Could countless people actually be on the autism spectrum and not know about it? Researchers at the University of Bath say an internationally-recognized system for diagnosing autism is providing bad information. The results may have led to many people going without the proper care over the last decade.

The team of psychologists says when general practitioners screen patients for autism, they use the Autism Spectrum Quotient before referring them to a specialist for official diagnosis. Doctors around the world use this ten-point scale (AQ-10), which asks patients to agree or disagree with statements like, “I find it difficult to work out people’s intentions.”

Germany: Merkel, state leaders agree on strategy to jump-start vaccinations | News | DW | 19.03.2021

  • Germany’s new motto is “vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate,” she said.
  • The goal is to vaccinate “faster and more flexibly” starting in April.
  • “We want the proverbial and tried-and-true German thoroughness to be expanded with more German flexibility, too.”
  • The chancellor said she would be willing to take the AstraZeneca vaccine, but “would like to wait until it’s my turn.”
  • Merkel said Germany could use Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine pending EMA approval, adding Berlin would order the jab if the EU does not.
  • “I think we have a good chance of offering a vaccine to every resident by the end of the summer,” she said.
  • Looking at rising infection numbers, Merkel said Germany must not hesitate to return to a hard lockdown if necessary.
  • “I had hoped that we would manage without using this emergency brake, but that won’t be possible, if I look at the development of the past days,” she added.

How Anti-Asian Activity Online Set the Stage for Real-World Violence – The New York Times

The Telegram group was a sign of how anti-Asian sentiment has flared up in corners of the internet, amplifying racist and xenophobic tropes just as attacks against Asian-Americans have surged. On messaging apps like Telegram and on internet forums like 4chan, anti-Asian groups and discussion threads have been increasingly active since November, especially on far-right message boards such as The Donald, researchers said.
