For those unable to help the protestors in Myanmar physically, there is at least one thing you can do:
TREND #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar and #SaveMyanmar in your country by simply type it while you share the information. You can also click on the tags to know more. RETWEET.
Friends from #MilkTeaAlliance and democratic countries, I think all of you should be concerned with the latest developments in #Myanmar:
Mass military presence, firing at citizens, internet cutoff… A potential massacre is happening.
Let's keep tweeting and supporting them.

Yes, it's not a perfect platform, but you have to work with the tools you've got.
