1/ It's late here, but I want to provide quick thoughts on the Hong Kong govt's 110 page Article 23 "national security" legislation release.

My heart sinks reading every page of this. There is no moderation--this law will crush HK's remaining freedoms. https://t.co/uo0JGCAPu5

美國眾議院外交事務委員會通過了《香港經貿辦認證法》，要求美國總統在香港不再享有高度自治權的情況下，取消對香港經濟貿辦特定的特權和豁免。該法將進一步提交到眾議院繼續審議。

Noa was partying in the south of Israel in a peace music festival when Hams terrorists kidnapped her and dragged her from Israel into Gaza.

Noa is held hostage by Hamas.

She could be your daughter, sister, friend.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Today marks the 1,000th day of Jimmy Lai’s detention. Hundred of politicians and thousands of Hongkongers are still behind bars with an unjust legal procedure. Political prisoners must be released immediately.

As @GayGamesHK2023’s reckless leadership team barrels forward with plans to gather 2,000 people for a political cause in a city where political gatherings are illegal, the gov’t issued an ominous warning today that hosting events in private venues won’t protect participants.

I utterly condemn the #CCP thugs who defaced London’s Brick Lane with their regime’s vile hate-filled propaganda

I wholeheartedly applaud, support & stand in solidarity with the brave mainland Chinese who stood up against this and responded with counter-graffiti in Brick Lane!
