      That's the context in which, the Hong Kong protesters tell me, they've turned to more confrontational tactics. There's a lot of discussion here about what might finally make the government respond to the people. After this morning's press conference by Carrie Lam, a muddier path.

      There is a bizarre desire to racialize protesters into a hierarchy. I've seen protests up close in a range of countries, and Hong Kong's protesters are definitely brave, persistent and smart—and use almost identical set of tools on the ground as did those in Middle East.

      For the record, this is the key difference I’ve noticed between protest technology *on the ground* between Hong Kong and Middle East: saline is used more here. Otherwise it’s mostly the same: helmets, masks, gloves, water and a lot of heart and bravery.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1168734985315999744 …

      And they are not. It's water. The only difference I've seen is that they use (the more expensive) vials of saline to wash tear gas from eyes rather than diluted Maalox which everyone else uses. I know, because I've been close enough to be tear gassed everywhere. Saline is nicer!

          So we got tear gassed again. Ugh. In the middle of the shopping district. This woman was caught in the middle, and very badly affected. I watched a Hong Kong journalist give her his mask. He went out to work again without a mask. (We got her a medic.) #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/lBrfzYmNEZ

          Hong Long protesters ended up marching anyway, despite the teargas. They had a contingent with United Nations and world flags. I also watched the Hong Kong police shoot rubber bullets and tear gas canisters directly at the protesters. Their weapons are made in Pennsylvania, USA.pic.twitter.com/WVoq34rAWd

          Some classrooms in China are equipped with AI cameras and brain-wave trackers. While many parents and teachers see them as tools to improve grades, they’ve become some children’s worst nightmare. #WSJWhatsNow pic.twitter.com/q1wyQcWdZw

          I was very near this—police disguised as protester was discovered, pulled gun. Live round reportedly fired. People rushed towards us to tell us. Hong Kong protesters keep coming up to me to plead with me to tell the world what’s happening.https://twitter.com/lokinhei/status/1178286307061055488 …

          Today’s theme in #HongKongprotests was global anti-totalitarian solidarity. There was a lot of posters on that.pic.twitter.com/lJBfqSN9Se

          Also, Hong Kong protesters are pretty clear in their demands. They have five enumerated ones, of which they already won one. It mostly comes down to preserving their autonomy as promised under two systems one country. But they also want universal suffrage.pic.twitter.com/KsowGOSkKw

          Here’s a great investigation of the Pennsylvania factory and its poorly-paid workers brewing teargas that is being used on Hong Kong protesters. I took that picture of that canister here in Hong Kong. #HongKongProtestshttps://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosalindadams/tear-gas-hong-kong-made-in-usa …

          Sad news! Seems the Indonesian journalist shot in the eye by the Hong Kong police may have permanent damage.😢Hong Kong police are using tear gas/rubber bullet rifles made in the USA. Same time as she was shot, I witnessed them shoot directly at people.https://twitter.com/Bruno_J_Navarro/status/1178355997225697280 …
