At the turn of #newyear2020, 1.03 million #hkers took to the street. As one of the largest demonstration since June last year, #hongkongprotestes want to show our persistent thrust for democracy and freedoms in the city under the tyrannical rule of #CCP. 
1/ We also send a message to those in prison that HKers won’t forget why we are here. We will carry on with our determination in the new year. However, tyranny is afraid of the will of the people. #Beijing chooses not to answer it bravely, but cowardly suppress it.
Pepper and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hats for the astonishing outpouring of support from nearly 500 of you. And now a foundation is offering to match all these donations up to midnight. palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2… #HappyNewYear2020
Most important, I was able to tell Barbara Arnwine, America’s top #VotingRights attorney, that we will meet her in #Wisconsin & rip thru the purge rolls in this key state to expose & reverse the new Death Star threatening young voters & voters of color. gregpalast.com/hunting-season…
I’d say #HappyNewYear! but our fact checker Ms. Badpenny says, we won’t know if it’s a Happy New Year until November. But tonight, celebrate! 🥂🍾
This #NewYear2020 resolve to de-colonize.
There is nothing “secular” about #Welcome2020. This Calendar is Pope Gregory’s (though badly copied from India), the year and date chosen around the mythical “Jesus.”
It erases our own history & traditions.

No, not the planet. The Christian world uses Christian calendar. The Islamic world uses Islamic Calendar. China’s biggest celebration is the Chinese New Year per its own Calendar. But India uses?
How is New Year related to “Jesus”? When Church invented Jesus’s birthday as December 25, they picked “New Year” to mark Jesus’s circumcision.
So, to be accurate #NewYear is a celebration of cut-foreskin day

2019 carries special significance to people of HK. #HKers are all awakened from our ordinary lives and search for justice. We stand up tall to reclaim our city, which is now nibbled by the authoritarian regime. Just a few hours before #NewYear2020, it will be a tough year for us.
When our education minister just put pressure on schools to fire all “problematic” teachers. Teaching materials are now censored. A pregnant lady was badly treated even before #NewYearsEve, and more prosecutions are on the way.
But in newyear, I see hope in HKers & other freedom lovers of the world. HKers do not fight alone. This is a global fight against the authoritarian expansion of CCP worldwide. We don’t want basic freedoms, human rights & democratic systems fall prey to #beijing’s manipulation.
