A story American press hasn't reported on yet, so I'll do the honors. In @Lithuania, Chinese tourists desecrated pro-Hong Kong crosses placed at Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai—a holy site for Christians there. More at @resurgent from yours truly theresurgent.com/2019/12/29/chi…
@Lithuania @resurgent What's the significance of this story in #HongKong struggle for freedom? On 30th anniversary of #BalticWay in August, Hong Kong demonstrators recreated their own human freedom chain in a nod to 2M Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians who formed human chain for freedom vs USSR
@Lithuania @resurgent Fun fact: Lithuania was the first occupied country (of 15 nations) to break away from the USSR. "The Rainy Country" - where my family also hails from - serves as a hopeful example of freedom in present day for countries struggling to regain autonomy. Why Hong Kongers visited.
@Lithuania @resurgent Featured in my article are words and tweets from @LeungKaiChiHK @LinkeviciusL @simonshen_glos @WBYeats1865 @YinHo411 @15minlt

People voluntarily choose to join the @NRA. Millions, in fact. We chose to join because we don’t want our fellow Americans to be defenseless or disarmed. We want to educate others on TRUE gun safety. We want to empower others to defend themselves, for last resort. #IAmTheNRA
My dad — who fled Soviet communism — joined @nra several years ago with me after moving from California to Virginia. We simultaneously trained for our CHPs. The NRA fosters safety and rejects criminal behavior #IAmTheNRA
If you conflate criminals with @NRA or law-abiding gun owners, you are doing a disservice to discourse and endangering people’s livelihoods. Members don’t commit heinous crimes. Crux of org’s existence is to combat criminal behavior #IAmTheNRA

Thread: #Chinese government demanded that Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey be fired - “We said there’s no chance that’s happening. There’s no chance we’ll even discipline him.” foxbusiness.com/sports/nba-ada…
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that the league rejected demands from Chinese government officials to fire Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey over his Oct. 4 tweet in support of pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong.
“We made clear that we were being asked to fire him, by the Chinese government, by the parties we dealt with, government and business,” Silver said during an appearance at the Time 100 Health Summit in New York City.

3-year #American toddler going off script. In America Children are sent to a 2-year long sinophobia training camps far away from their parents. They create videos showing happy kids going to "preschool", but some unintentionally go off script as shown in this recovered footage
🙄
Quick, can someone add a sad soundtrack to this and say poor Uyghur kids saying goodbye to their families for the last time. 🙄🙄🙄

This is almost as ridiculous as Arslan's propoganda, but even more unethical considering it's from the head of the American Xinjiang propoganda machine.

Q: Where does US media get their info?

A: From us.

Q: Where do you get your info from?

A: Uhh, uhh, uhh, umm, US media

😳

#HonKong Thread: Hong Kong protesters abandoned Facebook for other platforms - "Facebook is not a useful tool for the movement except for those celebrities and parties, on which they make announcements and deliver statements." euronews.com/2019/07/12/hon…
The 2014 Hong Kong generation was dependent on Facebook. Now, "most young people don't use Facebook anymore & turned to Snapchat or Instagram." At the core of the issue is Facebook's algorithm, which prioritizes posts triggering an intense debate in the comments.
"In 2014, Facebook amplified the disagreements between the various "school of thoughts". EconReporter wrote. "In 2014, the movement had no experience and leaders did not know how to handle it and promote democratic decisions within it," Han Mei said.

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.
#HongKong leader defiant as city gears up for fresh protests, strikes - Carrie Lam vowed on Tuesday to push ahead with the bill tuoitrenews.vn/news/internati…
