3/ On Oct 24, a Taiwanese bar owner in Shanghai posted a video stating that police warned him not to host any Halloween-themed events or display any costumes, otherwise risk shutdown.

Here is why this year #Halloween in China have become as politically sensitive as #June4th:

‼️RSF is alarmed by reports that #ZhangZhan was apprehended by police when visiting her hometown & taken to Shanghai, where she’s been heavily surveilled since her May release from prison. Her location is unknown & she has not been heard from for 2 days. We ask: #WhereisZhangZhan?

Yes, it's just like dating a woman, except that if you refuse to date her, or want to see other people, you go to jail.

Also, even if you get married, if it doesn't work out, not only is divorce illegal, but even saying you want one will get you arrested.

THREAD: A year ago, I interviewed Professor Noam Chomsky about Russia, Ukraine and not only. He said I didn't let him talk and at some pointed left the interview. I finally got around to posting parts on interview here: (considering the limit, will do it in parts)

Disturbing footage showing police violence against two unarmed Black men in Madrid has gone viral on Spanish social media. This has sparked widespread outcry and calls for an investigation into the alleged racist police actions.

In the video, a police officer is seen repeatedly hitting a man on the ground with a baton. He then forcefully knocks down a second young person standing nearby with punches and grabs to the throat.

Official police statements tried to justify the violence by saying the two men were "undermining authority."

Local media outlets report that the two victims are actively involved in local charity groups.

In response to the police violence caught on video, protests broke out in Lavapiés plaza on Sunday. Protesters demanded investigations, accountability, and an end to racist police violence.

These protests, along with the work of anti-racist groups and left-wing political parties, pressured the Ministry of the Interior to start investigations into the case.

Madrid's right-wing mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has shown support for the police after the incident.

I think about this a lot. Most of them grew up in the same HK as everyone else, so they know what happened on June 4, how the CCP rules China, the promise of universal suffrage in HK etc. So they must know HK ppl never wanted HK to be like China in terms of totalitarian rule. 1/3

Turns out the paint covering them since the 2019 demos had worn off.

A neutral, dispassionate observer would conclude that the foreign regimes Western "leftists" support -- the CCP, Hamas, Putin -- are right-wing regimes. They have every characteristic of rightism -- ethnocentrism, traditionalism, corporatism, etc.
