      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 …

      Just a note of #ff appreciation. I find her Twitter feed to be among the most useful ones for following Hong Kong. She seems to be everywhere, or always come through with explanations and context.https://twitter.com/xinqisu/status/1178501449992400897 …

      At the 45 second mark, you see the Hong Kong police, under no threat, turn right around and shoot directly into the gaggle of journalists, injuring in the eye Veby Mega Indah, journalist with Suara HK News—a local paper read especially by domestic workers.https://twitter.com/_szheng/status/1178348910407897088 …

      Sadly, no. Her goggles shattered (there is video and pictures) and she is unfortunately permanently blinded according to her lawyer and doctors.

      You're making stuff up. Lies like that may work on people trapped in censorship in authoritarian regimes like China, but they don't work in places where people have access to real information. She's going to sue the government, perhaps in international courts as well.

      The reason you make up such obviously stupid lies is that living in censored propaganda environments makes it hard for people to understand that obvious lies don't work. Sure, you can keep lying to yourself or to your friends, but lies are weak foundations for a society. Bye!
