In Hong Kong, a law has passed banning the wearing of masks in protests. This appears to have breathed new life into the pro-Democracy movement.

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam announced “sweeping emergency laws” in a press conference where she denounced the protests as “riots” and “lynchings”

This is a draconian power grab by Lam. She used an emergency law that hasn’t been used in over 50 years. I suspect the protests will grow to record levels.

Calls for strikes & protests for June 12th in #HongKong. That's when the extradition bill is scheduled for a second reading. Carrie Lam, the HK head of government is under pressure to resign. She is doing the bidding of #China's #CCP government.

HK leader Carrie Lam says the extradition bill was not proposed by Beijing. "We are doing it," she says. Not true. She is China's stooge in H.K. Why HK people elected these leaders? It's because China has veto power over the candidates. Only pro #China candidates can run.

A thread on the long running rebellion that eventually forced the government to call a referendum to #repealthe8th - photo is us on the February 1992 X-case march - the point at which the tide turned & lead to the #Together4Yes to get rid of #8thref this May
