I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
“Apple and Google’s decision to show this made-up name in parentheses to everyone around the world is akin to showing China’s fictionally inflated size of the Diaoyu Islands to everyone in the world . . . There’s a word for this stuff, and that word is propaganda.”
Great, thoughtful piece.

I posted "A dark day for Hong Kong" on Facebook (the only social media my mother and many friends over 60 use). Actually, I should have posted "ANOTHER dark day for Hong Kong". We've had so many since June 12th, 2019. 7/21. 8/31. 10/1. 11/11. And so on and on. June 30/July 1, 2020. Etc.
