Remarkable graphic here via @XinqiSu @holmeschan_ showing the number of “public order events” (i.e. protests) in Hong Kong over the 25 years since the handover, as well as data on arrests and banned protests:

There are some vegetarian options for "two dishes & rice"! Have translated a list from the "Veggie Youth" Facebook group. A few of them are Buddhist, and serve free food to the community several days a month. So, don't be scared by the queue. It moves very fast.

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner. First, an astonishing chart. After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

For many of Hong Kong's underprivileged, 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘂𝗻𝗴 used to be their last, best hope. In his 12-year career as a lawmaker, he had been a constant advocate of minority rights. Yesterday a magistrate jailed him for three weeks. Here's what happened:🧵1/11

Made a #vegan version of @rgay's tomato soup and grilled cheese with some @thekoreanvegan cucumber kimchi on the side. Rarely do all 4 family members enjoy a meal I cook, thanks for the win!

A thread 🧵 about Hong Kong in 15 tweets. In Nov ‘19, during the height of protests in HK, I mailed a copy of Animal Farm to Claudia Mo, then a member at HK’s top lawmaking body, LegCo. It was an anonymous gift. From ‘a Hongkonger’ was how I inscribed the book. 1/15

In 2021, Hong Kong lost at least 59 media / NGO / civic organisations, who dared to voice their support for freedom and democracy. Many were forced to disband due to the National Security Law 🇨🇳. Here’s to 2022… #StandwithHongKong #StandwithHKPress

And so the year ends as it started, with more pre-dawn raids and arrests designed to invoke an absolute sense of hopelessness in Hong Kong. The new year has become something not to be celebrated; instead we brace for what comes next: washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/…

The Pillar of Shame is getting demolished right now in Hongkong. The sculpture has been covered and is heavyly guarded so that no students can document what is going on. This is happening in the middle of the night in Hongkong. Im shoked. #Thepillarofshame😢

The Pillar of Shame sculpture is still standing at #HKU today but apparently not for much longer. It is a season of goodbyes and endings for Hong Kong.

This is why I feel such a responsibility to speak out. Many of my fellow Hongkongers will never get this sort of attention for their case. If the Police are doing this to me, despite all my privilege, then what they’re doing to the powerless and voiceless is much worse.
