Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #942 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY June 4, 2024: ‘Fentanyl Frontline’ by ZUMA Partner newspaper The Albuquerque Journal photo-journalist Chancey Bush and story by staff writer Matthew Reisen: Several teens in recovery illustrate their addiction using colored pencils in a room at Serenity Mesa Youth Recovery Center in Albuquerque. Maddie, 18, uses a sharpie to write words like ”manipulator,” ”loss” and ”save me” in jagged letters swirling around a girl covering her eyes. All of the teens at Serenity Mesa had to detox, often undergoing serious withdrawals, in a mental hospital or jail cell. At first glance, you wouldn’t guess most of them have already been homeless, locked in a jail cell, overdosed on drugs and seen someone die from an overdose or shooting. Jennifer Weiss-Burke, executive director at the 14-bed facility in New Mexico, said the hurdles faced by youth suffering from an addiction are many. the state ranks second worst in the nation for youth suffering from a mental illness and among the worst for youth suffering from an addiction. Welcome to ‘Fentanyl Frontline’

May 1, 2024, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A: Pro-Palestine/Hamas protestors on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus wave flags above their tent encampment. The students built walls around the tent city with plywood and refuse to allow Jewish students and reporters entry. Many are calling Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel ‘Fake News’ and the protest seems more about the call for the downfall of Western governments and the eradication of Israel, which they deny has a right to exist, than about compassion for the Palestinians dying in the war Hamas started. Tens of thousands of dollars of building, medical supplies and protective equipment were flooding into the camp today. (Credit Image: © Amy Katz/ZUMA Press Wire)
