      A reminder of yesterday, ~200,000 person human chain in Hong Kong on the 30th anniversary of the historic Baltic one. I walked it for an hour, saw no gaps.https://twitter.com/lokinhei/status/1164949408766541824 …

      This Saturday's protest march has been banned. (Same organizers as the one two weeks ago. Organizers say it was 1.7 million—ended without incident). Now the organizer was attacked. Closing of lawful means of protest, bringing in extrajudicial punishment. https://twitter.com/tomgrundy/status/1166979856753553408 …

      This was already one country, 1.5 systems and it’s rapidly going down to one country, 1.25 systems. Hong Kong was never fully democratic, but residents are used to having protest as a key means of political expression. So far, it’s been effectively useless and now maybe banned.

      Tonight in Hong Kong, there are simultaneous screenings of Winter of Fire—a documentary about Ukraine’s 2013-14 Euromaidan protests. Pop-up projectors. They’ve been doing this for weeks. HongKongers are searching for something—anything—that works to express their political will.pic.twitter.com/7aJcYDNM1u

      Yes, the country whose president may have just suggested nuking hurricanes is so omnipotent and well-organized that it can somehow make millions of people across the ocean risk their lives to demand true democracy—the most basic demand for centuries now. https://twitter.com/fartron/status/1167073897843515398 …

      Here’s the screenshot of the tweet the coward claiming Hong Kong’s brave protesters are just a “state department op” that he deleted. (And the next one he will likely delete). The deep racism of such claims is infuriating. HongKongers are risking everything for a freer future.pic.twitter.com/cqpJ9Xh3tx

      These idiots who think the state department can “make” millions risk everything probably could not manage to run, say, a coffee shop with two employees. But they’re so racist that they believe in remote magic wands that work especially on nonwhite people, and by the millions.pic.twitter.com/f4HRbMCHbg

      Maybe the state department tries to interfere here and there. Who cares? The idea that millions demand democracy at the behest of some foreign government (at great personal risk!) is deeply deeply racist. The fight for freedom is no culture’s monopoly. https://twitter.com/a_bad_sign/status/1167083357093670914 …pic.twitter.com/aKlGp3LLXe

      "Maybe Russia tries to interfere here and there. Who cares?" Or no? Stop trying to be post-colonial in your obfuscation of half a century of systematic US machinations around the world. Wokeness for empire apologia.

      I'm touched that you created an account just for me. In fact, that *is* what I said about Russian interference in the US election. It happened and was illegitimate, of course, but key focus for the US is fixing own country. Neither US (nor Russia) are all powerful puppetmasters.

          I'm touched you're touched. What would you say about '53, '54, '73, etc. and the protests that were a part of those coups? Would you have supported them at the time?

          People can have an independent reason and motive to protest, and CIA may have, back then, jumped on that moment and undertook (an obviously illegitimate) coup? What anyone else did after does not post hoc condemn actual protesters (and there were many in 53, less in 73).
