friend just send me this

we are doing a human chain across hong kong tonight and someone brought pepe with us~💖

nice chance for me to explain that please understand pepe had a whole different meaning to us. before the movement im sure not many people in hk have seen or know what pepe is. it was just an other meme. during the last two months it became popular with other chatacters especially we are at a time that used to msg stickers.

some of us are aware of its meaning in the west so would only draw pepe as the government and police and such. while some of us think that, well it was not a familar character to hk, we could always give it new meanings because we really like it!

and thisss!!! on Lion Rock!!

its a sentimental little mountain for us hongkongers.

Truly thankful for the call for #magnitskyact sanctions, Sen Housakos. Itt’s a matter of the entire global community indeed as CCP is extending their claws everywhere, threatening everyone. Appeasement is no longer an option. #StandWithHongKong #StandwithUyghurs https://t.co/MU7je78TDQ Watch the full speech calling for Magnitsky sanctions against Chinese officials for their oppression and false imprisonments of Hong Kong pro-democracy fighters: https://t.co/FIb6w4onO2 PATHETIC: Trudeau Statement Refuses To Say 'Islamist,' Pushes Political Correctness Instead https://t.co/SbZbfTrnpN Why should Canadians have to put up with such pathetic cowardice from someone with zero leadership skills? MENU   SPENCER FERNANDO NEWS & COMMENTARY PATHETIC: Trudeau Statement Refuses To Say “Islamist,” Pushes Political Correctness Instead NEWSSPENCERFERNANDOOCTOBER 29, 20200  Why should Canadians have to put up with such pathetic cowardice from someone with zero leadership skills? Justin Trudeau has issued a statement on the Islamic Terror Attack in Nice, France. In his remarks, both on Twitter and at a virtual press conference with European leaders, Trudeau failed to say the words “Islamist Terrorism,” or “Islamist Attack,” yet again showing a sick obsession with political correctness and an attitude of gutless cowardice. And here’s what he said at the press conference: “They were heinous, criminal acts, unjustifiable by any circumstance and an affront to all of our values. The criminals, the terrorists, the cold-blooded murderers who perpetrated these attacks do not represent Islam. They do not get to define Muslims in France, in Canada or anywhere around the world.” This is the same tired rhetoric we hear from corrupt politicians. https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8v3Q-Avhe/?igshid=jsm4x1h1w9q2

Sergei Magnitsky was a 37 year-old tax lawyer and auditor who worked for the Moscow legal and audit firm, Firestone Duncan. He was married and a father of two. Sergei was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1972, and emigrated with his family at the age of 9 to Southern Russia. As a child Sergei loved to read. On family vacations, while the rest of the family and friends would be splashing in the sea, Sergei would sit under a tree with a book. His studiousness was quickly recognized and at the age of 15, he won the Republican Physics and Mathematics Olympiad. When he was 18, he moved to Moscow and attended the prestigious Plekhanov Institute.

As President Putin bungles his country’s response to the current coronavirus, and tries wheedling his population into granting him another 16 years of unquestioned power, here’s the bio of a real Russian patriot: Sergei Magnitsky. Unlike the Russian president, Magnitsky knew the difference between right and wrong, which ultimately cost his life. Read this moving biography of the accountant and lawyer, who discovered an unbelievable tax fraud scheme and dared to name the perpetrators. The Magnitsky Act aims to punish those responsible for the false arrest, torture, and murder of Sergei Magnitsky, as well as punishing human rights abusers worldwide.

Essential documentary for those interested in Russian corruption. Bill Browder explains (prior to Magnitsky’s torture and murder) how Hermitage Capital was stolen by Russian criminals and used as a vehicle for a $230 million tax fraud plot.
