truly wild watching people outside of Hong Kong praise this opportunistic hack. this fool has been one of the sleaziest, most neoliberal, anti-labor, and homophobic politicians that Hongkongers have been calling out for years.
May 2018 protest against the US and Israel in Hong Kong when Israel killed 58 and wounded 1200+ Palestinians.
Two in this photo are now behind bars—Long Hair and Lee Cheuk Yan; one, Figo Chan, was only recently released from prison.

It's unsettling how few people are willing to express solidarity with both Palestinians and Uyghurs, another pathology of the imperial rivalry which aims to strictly delimit boundaries of compassion.
Respect to Rayhan for taking this risky but principled position
@bobbiharlow Likewise! But have mixed feelings about it cos somehow it’s hard find faith in the integrity of the berlinale again after this year’s shenanigans
📢📢 URGENT: Sue is a Black disabled migrant PhD student & mother in complaint against an abusive supervisor. Now Newcastle University is reporting her to the Home Office in retaliation, fully knowing she suffers from terminal, life & death Stage 5 kidney disease 🧵#WeAreAllSue
@bobbiharlow The fact that ppl outside of hk either refuse or unable to understand how incredibly tone deaf this whole project was simply baffles me beyond belief. My feed is literally showing a film critic that I follow praising this show below ur tweet🙃
@bobbiharlow This might b the opposite direction, but I think AKA Serial Killer shows an interesting portrayal of how cities could b cold and disenfranchising owing to hostile political/social environment.
Also satyajit Ray’s The Big City is great but might b a bit on the nose
Hong Kong now exports refugees, bans and censors films. And Donnie Yen, a cheerleader for the regime that made that happen, was also a highlight at the Oscars, presenting an award. Representation doesn't look the same to all "Asians".
