🕯️Today, political prisoner Prince Wong Ji-Yuet 黃子悅 spends her birthday unjustly imprisoned in Hong Kong.
No one should spend time in prison for defending democracy.
We wish her a happy birthday and call for her immediate release, along with all political prisoners in Hong Kong.

Today at the House Triangle, @thecfhk Policy & Advocacy Manager @Frances_Hui joined @RepMcGovern and advocates from the Tibetan, Uyghur, Hong Kong, and Chinese communities ahead of Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington.
Frances spoke about 78-year-old Jimmy Lai, who has spent nearly six years in custody, much of it in near-total isolation:
"Our message is simple: no deals without freedom. There should be no summit deal without the release of Jimmy Lai and political prisoners in Hong Kong and across China. ... Beijing wants these people forgotten. We are here to make sure that never happens."
Amazing. Years in prison. Just convicted for seeking to commemorate Tiananmen, and still smiling defiantly. Chow Hang-tung is an absolute tower of strength.

1/5 #HongKong Alliance leaders Chow Hang-tung & Lee Cheuk-yan were found guilty of inciting subversion over their work that kept the memory of the Tiananmen massacre alive for decades.
Facing up to 10 years, both entered court smiling and remained calm as they heard the verdict.
History remembers the people who refused to stay silent. Jimmy is one of them.
He denounced Chinese communism, defended the rule of law, and gave Hong Kong a free press, knowing exactly what it would cost him.
"I believe that if I do the right thing, the strength will come." — Jimmy Lai

As you stated, Tesla announced this during its Q1 2026 earnings call. For HW3 owners who bought FSD, Tesla said it would offer a discounted trade-in to a newer AI4-equipped vehicle, plus FSD transfer.
But it has been two months, and there is still no FSD transfer option available for HW3 owners. I, along with many others, have reached out to Tesla sales and have been repeatedly told that nothing like this exists.
@elonmusk When will what you said on the call be honored?
@Tesla@elonmusk
Any chance on getting a trade in HW3 w/Lifetime FSD Policy put in place? Would love to do a trade-in for a 2026 Quicksilver Model Y, but according to the current trade-in policy my Lifetime FSD on HW3 is worthless.
@Tesla Do we have any details yet on discounted trade in and FSD transfer into a AI4 vehicle for those if us on HW3 who purchased FSD? Would love to buy a new Tesla.
A son speaking about his father.
Sebastien Lai joined @clayandbuck to talk about #JimmyLai, 78 years old, five years in solitary, heart failing, body breaking down.
His message to @POTUS was simple. Thank you for standing with us. Now please help us save his life.

@China_Fact She's in the opposition party, and her platform doesn't align with the mainstream in Taiwan. If it did, the KMT would be in power—but Taiwanese voters haven't chosen them for 12 years straight.
"I have regretted saying no to that car ride for the last five years."
Claire Lai reflects on New Year's Eve 2020, when her father #JimmyLai's bail was revoked.
Once again, Jimmy Lai will spend New Year's Eve in solitary confinement, separated from his family.
Jimmy Lai's "guilty" conviction under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law is a grave miscarriage of justice. He now faces life imprisonment—for daring to publish a pro-democracy newspaper which criticized the Chinese government.
At 78, with failing health, every day behind bars puts his life at risk. The international community must stand for Jimmy Lai before it's too late.

Thank you, @aliciakearns, for your continued support of #JimmyLai.
Jimmy Lai is a British citizen.
He could have stayed away from Hong Kong.
Instead, he decided to stand by his values: Freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and democracy.
He stayed. He has now been in solitary confinement since 2020.
His health is deteriorating. It's time to #BringHimHome.
