Uyghurs outside China

lundi 24 décembre 2018 à 01:00

Uyghurs living in Australia and the US say the Chinese government sends agents to question them and threaten them, and treats their relatives in China as hostages.

The idea that China might exterminate Uyghurs seems to be an extrapolation. I would not put that past China, but our condemnation will rest on a stronger foundation if we limit it to what China is known to be doing and refrain from treating possibilities as deeds.

Work requirement in Wisconsin

lundi 24 décembre 2018 à 01:00

Wisconsin Republicans, as a parting shot against the state's poor people, have imposed a work requirement and a drug test requirement on food stamps and Medicaid.

The new Democratic governor will be unable to undo this because Republicans will still control the legislature. However, they may conflict with federal law, so courts might overturn them.

I wonder if Wisconsin allows an initiative petition to undo this.
