I had a little sleep. Woke up to find the police have pulled back (probably aware that a million person march is on the way here later and escalation would be bad for them). Protestors are extending barriers again on Lung Wui Rd.pic.twitter.com/gXoY3IvtnC

This happened about the same time, or just before, the push on Harcourt Rd in my livestream. Seems there was movement on Lung Wui Rd (the next road over to our left) concurrent with our attempt.https://twitter.com/kongtsunggan/status/1145531851936653312?s=21 …

The police had pepper spray, batons, riot shields and helmets. The protestors had shields made from swim floats. That, and courage.pic.twitter.com/dUV3afgdVj

This was the scene just before the livestream. Protestors using a barrier to attack Member’s Entrance 2. Heard unconfirmed reports Claudio Mo was seen unconscious. Police now on Lung Wo and in Tim Wa Ave.pic.twitter.com/BCloW0fUdw

Latest is that CHRF has said the march will go on as planned, and to the planned destination. Then heard cops said it has to go to Chater Garden, but the area between Wan Chai and Chater NOT covered by letter of no objection. This kids could really use that backup right now.

Sitting on Harcourt Rd watching kids scurry to make more barricades between them and the Tim Wa Ave cops. Those police seem happy to just hold ground, and overall still seem aware a ton of people are coming soon from Causeway Bay.

I couldn’t see past the umbrella wall, but protestors were using a trolley to go at the LegCo entrance. One of the panels back there is heavily cracked, but that laminated glass takes a lot to break.https://twitter.com/denise_tsang/status/1145566331841867776?s=21 …

Haha, after all that effort to defend the flagraising at the fortified exhibition centre, protestors went in afterwards and raised the Black Bauhinia there too. https://twitter.com/xscmp/status/1145568449780826112?s=21 ….

Harcourt Rd, 15:30. Police commanders appeared over the rise and protestors stand to, before the cops withdraw to their unit on the opposite side.pic.twitter.com/eJfzSO6iCB

Real air of tension right now. Green vest cops Connaught Rd end of Harcourt flyover. Green vest and black suit cops below us in Tim Wa. Large numbers of blue shirts over in Lung Wo. They seem to be at ease, but every small movement they make gets scrutinsed for intent.

Leaving the flyover. Can hear the march approaching.pic.twitter.com/lxX1IzZXEp

The July 1st march arrived at Admiralty. Some of the head of the march turned into Harcourt Rd and were met with thunderous applause and chants of “add oil”. Out on Queensway others were beckoned in, climbing barriers to join.pic.twitter.com/f1nQRQdP7C

Further up Queensway, those who chose not to go to Harcourt Rd directly, or to accept the first invitation to join, are offered a second chance. Everyone who crosses over in solidarity is applauded.pic.twitter.com/zaRybpiP3u

Every Hongkonger on the march now faces a choice. Choose to stand together, or just walk on by. More than half are choosing solidarity.

The police told them they couldn’t come to Harcourt Rd, but they came anyway. Filling up nicely now, the crowd spilling over into Tamar Park. Dads, aunties, grandparents, babies. The kids will now be safe for the next several hours as the police will not dare risk a clearance.pic.twitter.com/PJ4vblIs5l

Sudden calls for umbrellas on Tim Mei Ave.

Threading a livestream. Protestors spent 2 hours battering away at the glass walls of LegCo under the drum. Signal quality varied, finally dropped at the end. One glass panel already broken.https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1145622551453814785?s=21 …

Taking a walk around, trying to re-hydrate. Cops pulled back from Tim Wa Ave and that belongs to the protestors now. Heading round to Tim Mei.

Still very young kids, lots of elders, out on occupied Harcourt Rd.

This is a mullet protest. Business at the front, party at the back. Still somehow a selfies and carnival atmosphere out on Harcourt while at the main LegCo entrance it’s a war zone.pic.twitter.com/f4B6Qb4r6X

We were told the fence to Civic Square was down. That’s a lie. All intact, just festooned with umbrellas and barricades.pic.twitter.com/O8hCMTXbhn

Tear gas fired at the LegCo breach. Protestors didn’t run.pic.twitter.com/tFUhUTfaDM

Clapping and cheering as more supplies go forward. The kids have cardboard shields. Literally folded pieces of corregated cardboard taped up with zip tie arm straps. The mismatch in equipment between us and them is heartbreaking.

The tear gas is an assumption, it being white smoke and cops had masks and helmets on. So don’t quote me on it until someone confirms it wasn’t just a smoke grenade etc.
