    Activist Fleco Mo Kai-hong, in a post on Facebook, says Tony Chung of the now disbanded Studentlocalism group has been arrested for violating the state security law. Few details at the moment, no official announcement, seems like it will be a developing story through the night.

    Someone purchased every copy of today’s Apple Daily from the Circle K in Sai Ying Pun and left them out for people to take for free. (Even attached the receipt as proof of purchase.)

    Blaming your country's ills on colonialism, but suppressing your peoples' freedoms with colonial laws. A favorite play of so many leaders in Asia.

    Absolutely say no to the TIME Magazine cover story if you are a leader in Asia.

    Appears unis will again be a focus of protests in Hong Kong today. The govt's prediction that students returning to school would kill the energy of protests was totally wrong. The Sept. CUHK rally remains one of the most remarkable events I've attended:

    High Street in Hong Kong is always jammed with motorbikes as drivers wait to pick up from the Deliveroo Kitchen. Over the past week nearly every one has been adorned with these stickers for the Indian farmers' protest.

    “In the 20 years that this shop has been open, the past half year has been my happiest time here. When people buy my products they tell me to ‘add oil.’ It’s touching. I’ve never experienced anything like this.”
