Candidates in Hong Kong (who are allowed to run for what limited seats are elected) are pretty clearly signaling their stance—fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong. (Yes I’m back for a bit!)pic.twitter.com/N8GeJ6s4Tv

Okay so these are probably the new Chinese ones.https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1190605331665014785 …
By the way, still a large police presence around Sheung Wan, and no press around. They were chasing someone a moment ago. (A few medics did go along with the chase).pic.twitter.com/ouAAXIdIy2
Another question to follow up: Is YouTube disproportionately recommending Chinese government’s false assertions about Hong Kong protesters? Why is it recommended at all? As usual, independent researchers don’t have the full data we’d need.https://twitter.com/jeremybmerrill/status/1190002705793781761 …
At Sheung Wan, police are arresting a man who had heckled them earlier. (There is one press group filming).pic.twitter.com/CukK4ovLN2
I’ve seen protesters wash off tear gas from dogs and pigeons. A first for a rat!https://twitter.com/mantaichow/status/1190618535371821057 …
This is really dangerous. Hong Kong press is reporting a medic it has been hospitalized with serious burn injuries after one of these new Chinese tear gas canisters hit him in the back. I found one (see upthread), it had crumpled upon impact.https://twitter.com/rachel_cheung1/status/1190619209413251073 …
A video getting shared a lot today. The girl gets caught and yells for the boy to leave. “Go, go.” He doesn’t, steps in between her and the police, and they both get arrested. Hong Kong protest style love.https://twitter.com/crossstreamw/status/1190182045147750402?s=21 …
Another video making the rounds in Hong Kong. Fireman gets upset with the police for firing at his truck. He does a “WTF” and then police start shoving him around. (HK firemen have been acting quite professionally and are generally respected by protesters) https://twitter.com/galileocheng/status/1190617618190757888 …
And this. The guy was driving a Porsche playing the unofficial Hong Kong anthem. Got arrested. (Did someone want to drive it to the police lot??) https://twitter.com/szengaszenga/status/1190530581362118656 …
Just a reminder that @Apple has banned the app that the HongKongers could use to learn that the ordinary shopping mall they’re about to enter has just been stormed (or teargassed!) by riot police. I keep repeating this, but these are not minor decisions.https://twitter.com/woppa1woppa/status/1190944605102985216 …
Sad turning point for Hong Kong. The 22 year-old student, Alex Chow, has died following a fall, reportedly trying to escape tear gas/police. (Sad reminder: @Apple bans apps that people in Hong Kong can use to try to avoid tear gas and police operations.)https://twitter.com/ezracheungtoto/status/1192616323672506368 …
