Thousands of Haitian expats who live in Central and South America have headed for Texas, wishing to live in the US instead.

They are not (in general) fleeing persecution now, so not eligible for asylum, and probably not eligible for immigration. Nor for temporary protective status, which has been granted to Haitians who are already in the US.

Denying them entry to the US may be correct, but that doesn't justify sending them back to Haiti now, especially if they didn't recently come from Haiti.

Chinese Wikipedians seem to be campaigning systematically and sneakily to slant and censor what it says about recent Chinese history.

Ironically, the article emphasizes the term "open source" whose purpose was and is to draw attention away from freedom (too controversial a topic). In a second level of irony, in this specific case the correctness and quality of articles is about freedom.

My 1998/1999 proposal for a universal encyclopedia dealt with this by rejecting the idea that there would be one official article about a topic. Rather, it allowed for different articles written by different authors and presenting different points of view.

The urban segregation of 1960 persists in US cities, though it has shifted around to some extent. Partly this is maintained by the desire of the wealthier to use their influence and political power to create advantages for cheir children. They take advantage of many political systems to do this.

The Jan 6 attack investigation has sent subpoenas to some of the corrupter's supporters:

*White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, former adviser Steve Bannon, and Kash Patel, a former chief of staff to then-acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller…*

A new New York City law protects a few basic rights for gig workers that do food delivery. However, the companies will continue mistreating those workers in other ways, as the article says.

The food delivery companies do other nasty things. They mistreat their customers by insisting on identifying them via digital payment, and make them run nonfree software. Some of them exploit reataurants, which feel compelled to surrender to the exploitation because customers demand it.

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, there are signs on the street urging people to pick up take-out themselves rather than use food delivery companies. Hear, hear!
