The Intelligence from The Economist - Rwanda-on-Thames: Britain’s asylum proposal

BRITAIN’S GOVERNMENT has proposed sending asylum-seekers to Rwanda. The plan has been widely criticised as expensive and ineffective—but the greater danger is that the plan works. New research suggests that diversification, rather than boosting domestic production, may keep supply chains resilient. And our correspondent considers the legacy of Charles Mingus, an American composer and bassist born 100 years ago today.

The Daily Signal - NBA Player Enes Kanter Freedom Stands Tall for Justice

Although he gained initial attention for speaking out against the genocidal Chinese Communist Party, pro basketball player Enes Kanter Freedom has been a human rights advocate for nearly a decade now.

Freedom says he believes that due to his status as a famous athlete, having played for five NBA teams, he has a responsibility to speak up for causes he's passionate about.

"If you are an athlete, you can inspire millions of people out there, especially kids, especially our young generation," says Freedom, who was born in Switzerland to Turkish parents. "If you are well educated enough, if you know what you are talking about, yes, it is important to stand up for things that you believe in."

Freedom, who became an American citizen last year, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to share his story of getting involved in human rights activism. He also offers advice for those of us who want to make a difference in the world.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden announces that the U.S. is sending $800 million worth of military assistance to Ukraine in its ongoing resistance to Russia's invasion.
  • A group of Republican lawmakers asks the Biden administration to protect the rights of women and girls in sports.
  • Entrepreneur and investor Elon Musk announces he has $46.5 billion lined up to buy Twitter.

Consider This from NPR - California Is A Step Closer To Reparations. Not All Black Residents Will Qualify

California's Reparations Task Force is preparing to release its first report on the impact of racism on African Americans in June. It's the next step for the Task Force, following a narrow vote late last month to exclude some Black residents from being eligible if and when a reparations plan becomes law.

Under the current proposal, only those who can trace their lineage to enslaved or freed Black people before the end of the 19th century will qualify for reparations from the state.

Some Black Californians are fine with that for now. State residents Derika Denell Gibson, Taiwo Kujichagulia-Seitu, and Kaelyn Sabal-Wilson discuss what reparations would mean to them.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
