Been so busy today that I almost forgot to say the following on this particular day:
To hell with the #CCP.
You cowards sent in the #PLA to massacre the brightest young people in #China.
To hell with all of you.
#TiananmenMassacre
#unforgiven #unforgotten #fucktheCCP
36 years ago #Chinese #military ended the #uprising of tens of thousands people fighting for more rights
After having to retrieve the first time the #PLA went to the #Tiananmensquare to destroy the main place of #protest
Though depicted as a #studentprotest in the west, it wasn't only #students , it was #workers and many others, too
#Repression hit them brutally afterwards

Since today marks the 35th anniversary of the #TiananmenMassacre committed by the #PLA it's important to reiterate: From #Beijing to #HongKong, people deserve to live in #freedom and enjoy #civicrights. And governments of free countries should stop courting the murderous #CCP regime and its new Mao #XiJinping. #freedoms #FarEast #humanrights

The lead withdrew while touring in China. The original director & a cast member also quit due to fears for the safety of family in China.

Some striking images from @ScottishHK's #June4 #TiananmenMassacre commemoration this weekend past, one of dozens worldwide that show the #CCP & HK government can't snuff out memory or the desire for justice & freedom. (Plus, we love the #光復香港 tattoo.) https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1666515809089232916#m

Good @RadioFreeAsia compilation of many of the 32 detentions of #HongKongers on June 3 (8) & 4 (24) for flowers, candles, t-shirts, etc. HKers won’t forget either the #oppression in HK or the #TiananmenMassacre. (Part 1; see part 2 below) https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1666398158451101696#m
A *pro-#Beijing carnival*? The #CCP's attempt to brainwash its underlings and make them forget about the #TiananmenMassacre not only in #China but also in #HongKong are reaching new levels of infamy.
To hell with this ghoulish regime, the Chinese deserve better than that.

As a personal friend of #ChowHangTung for many years, I feel so proud of her. She's so courageous to stage a hunger strike even in such difficult situation. Hope that more people can help to spread this message.

@JohnShirley2023 @toomas_ilves
in #1989 the prison of nations #USSR of #sovietrussia began its dissolution. It was time to help russia's victims with their need to reindustrialize. Along with all the countless developing countries seeking progress. "Yes, but with democratic values and rule of law, ok?"
Yet, immediately after #CCP again revealed its nature with #tiananmenmassacre, democracies lined up to finance and reindustrialize that #dictatorship instead. With honorary #WTO membership to manipulate at will.
You can look at *any* tinpot dictatorship or strongman today and ask if he would be in power without #CCP's support and *example*. That includes #putin and the magas he groomed
