I agree that there is a serious public health emergency, but I have no confidence in China given to their track record of concealing information and falsifying records. The outbreak is huge -- and I strongly advise that everyone in the US to be aware.

Too bad to see news about Asians being targetted because they wore a mask.

Let me make it clear: the root cause of the escalation of the use of force by the protestors is the police acting with impunity, so that the protestors have to impose even the slightest deterrence effect. Best way to deesculate: implement democratic accountability on police. twitter.com/KasiaMadera/st…

The "fake election" of Hong Kong made it to the headlines. Less than a quarter of the seats in legislature are voted among ALL pro-Beijing candidates.
The boycott from Hong Kong people shows there's no mandate to this legislature. Beijing is unhappy.

Many celebrities speak up for making money. If they are asked to choose between conscience and big dollar cheque, they will choose later.
But @EnesKanter chooses justice as always. He keeps speaking up after #CCP bans Celtics game as retaliation.

My deepest gratitude is to Chairman @RepEliotEngel, Ranking Member @RepMcCaul, and their House Foreign Affairs Committee for unanimously passing the bill this morning. As we move forward, now is the time for unwavering bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress.

During the New York assembly, a cute dog was biting the Winnie the pooh. Sorry for the cute toy but as an action of opposing Emperor Xi, that’s quite symbolic.

Same thing happened over and over again. It is not a sin for people to fight for their rights and their future. Say NO to police brutality.
We hold hands in the journey to freedom.

While China's actively making friends with Taliban, HKG is arresting students for "advocating terrorism" because of their speeches.
How sarcastic it is.
