I’m extremely delighted to announce that, despite my disqualification by Beijing, my backup candidate Kelvin Lam has won in South Horizons West with 57% of the vote. The incumbent, Judy Chan, is a protégé Regina Ip who supports police violence and calls protesters “cockroaches”.
Words can’t express how happy Hong Kong-ers are today ! This is our victory ! Proud of Hong Kong ! Meanwhile, we will never forget the ones who sacrificed for hk #StandwithHK#StandWithHongKong#FreeHongKong

The #HongKong District Council elections (sort of like city council elections in US) are less than 12 hours away. This will be major test - will #China continue to interfere? Beijing has already intervened to keep pro-democracy candidates off the ballot. The world is watching
President Xi & the Chinese Communist Party cannot silence the US Congress. In case they aren’t familiar with how our Constitution works, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act passed the House and Senate by overwhelming veto-proof majorities and it will become law.
Trump: "If it weren't for me, thousands of people would have been killed in Hong Kong." He says Xi is only not killing thousands of people and implementing a "police state" because Trump is telling him not to ruin their trade talks.
Hi everyone , do you know what’s the best job in Hong Kong ?
The answer is hk police ! #hkpopo#HKPoliceTerrorists
They have high salary with low education level , they beat whoever they want , they don’t have to control their emotion, and their boss always support them!
DO YOU need to hit someone 7 blows on the leg when that person is already in restraint and unresponsive even after repeated blows. The govt doesn't even bother to condemn this incident. The cop should not be in any force at all. #PoliceBrutalityHK#StandwithHonKong#手足科勞
After my #HongKong bill passed #China warns us to “rein in the horse at the edge of the precipice” & stop interfering in an internal affair
But its Beijing which is at“the edge of the precipice” & special treatment for Hong Kong is a U.S. internal affair https://t.co/KRMQgSbBxI
"I think China needs to stop interfering in the internal affairs of the United States because our treatment of Hong Kong is an internal matter," says @MarcoRubio.
#HKPoliceTerrorists kept pouring cold water on an injured arrestee. It has absolutely nothing to do with constraining a suspect or taking care of the injured.
