      Hard to put into words what I’m witnessing in Hong Kong. The movement is in its fifth month. Thousands arrested, many facing 10 year sentences. And yet I’m *again* in a sea of thousands of protesters, many wearing masks—telling me they will keep fighting. Tear gas out already.pic.twitter.com/8qmxsrOAVG

      I’ve been interviewing Hong Kong protesters for months now, and today is among the most defiant I’ve heard them. It’s quite remarkable given the escalation in crack down. And it’s clear from the interviews that they realize the risks, but not willing to give up. Also a big crowd.

      Made it to the Edinburg rally, which is legal, with thousands of others who walked around the police blocks. This, too, was a big and defiant crowd, chanting Hong Kong slogans, still asking for universal suffrage. But now the police—well raptors—have arrived so moving on again!😬pic.twitter.com/EEqVJMWXKt

      So I’ve been observing the Hong Kong protesters for months now, and the so-called frontliners don’t looked thinned out or younger to me. At least not today. If anything, even though they still “be water”,l quickly, they are perhaps the least skittish I’ve seen.

      The app @Apple banned after being criticized by CCP mouthpiece? It’s useful for avoiding surprise tear gas. Medics have been treating these two bystanders caught in tear gas for 20 minutes. At one point she was convulsing. Someone surprised or inexperienced can end gulp a lot.😡pic.twitter.com/WtEY6fPQpu

      For example, I just walked out of a restaurant into a surprise cloud of teargas. That’s the kind of thing that the Hong Kong app banned by @Apple is useful for—not ambushing police like the ridiculous claim since it just isn’t that granular.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1190582383348719616 …

      No they are submunitions. Apparently the new ones they got from China!
