      It’s the second spontaneous rally in Hong Kong for me today. First was in the financial and upscale district. Well-dressed white collar workers (well, wearing the protest’s signature black) streamed out of work. This is a poorer neighborhood in the new territories. Same slogans.

      Back to updates. Today, two more people imprisoned for their role in the Umbrella Movement in 2014 completed their prison sentences. That movement was completely peaceful and merely demanded universal suffrage. Ended with no concessions and jailed leaders.https://twitter.com/KongTsungGan/status/1179608235487068162 …

      Very good news: Shiu Ka-chun & Raphael Wong have been released from prison after serving their 8mo sentences for the #UmbrellaMovement. Now Chan Kin-man, serving 16mo, is the only UM prisoner left. Benny Tai is out on bail pending appeal of his sentence. https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1484004-20191003.htm …

      And the high school student who was shot in the chest by the Hong Kong police has been charged with “rioting” which is a potential 10 year sentence here.https://twitter.com/karenklcheung/status/1179614953596051456 …

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Jerome Taylor

      Hong Kong may be planning to ban masks—exposing everyone including journalists to teargas. More importantly though, they may do this by invoking a very old colonial law to completely bypass legislative limits and authoritize anything they want. See thread.https://twitter.com/jerometaylor/status/1179692295580307457 …

      Lots of reports Hong Kong’s gov’t is mulling a ban on face masks, four months into huge public protests. Some thoughts. To do this, they’ll probably have to invoke a colonial-era law that was last used in 1967 during the leftist riots. If they take that route it’s a Big Deal

      Barricades have gone up and the road remains blocked by protesters at Tai Koo Station. Earlier, the protesters reportedly chased of the riot police. Hong Kong is now having nightly protests.

      Well the police have shown back up in the whole place is drenched in teargas. The residents at a nearby apartment complex have opened doors and are taking people in. As usual tons of people without masks are caught in the teargas.pic.twitter.com/csV2y1p28R

      A barrage of tear gas versus umbrellas. A canonical Hong Kong protest. (This is a middle class neighborhood—and I witnessed how the protesters were taken in by many residents).https://twitter.com/mikaljakubal/status/1179811206065872896 …

      Tai Koo, Hong Kong, October 3rd 10pm. Police massed at the far end of the street while protesters took cover under their umbrellas preparing for what has become a routine barrage of tear gas. #hongkongprotests pic.twitter.com/sc8K7GWJbo

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Mary Hui

      It seems the Hong Kong executive will use a 98-year old colonial law to declare, in essence, a state of emergency that gives it unlimited powers, bypassing the legislative, and will kick it off with a mask ban. Remember SARS?😷 Masks are very common here.https://twitter.com/maryhui/status/1179991987056852992 …

      Per Now News, the government's Executive Council has decided to invoke emergency laws to impose a ban on face masks. The law will come into effect at midnight. pic.twitter.com/aQVKEhwsfr

      They need to watch Winter On Fire on Netflix. About Ukraine 2014 and how they did it and what they went thru.

      Many watched that documentary here—outdoor screenings by protesters—but I’m afraid it actually doesn’t apply that much to the situation here.

          Yeah it might not apply, but it sure does give all kinds of hope. To me, there’s no better weapon in situations like this than hope. It’s the absence of hope that signs a death warrant.
