WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump, her acceptance of the prize was an “ultimate sin,” said one of the people.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” this person said.

Wrote about the week. How the shooter's ID didn't appear to matter to ppl. How the discourse takes place in very same spaces that incubate/perpetuate hate & violence. How shooters now know that their acts will be flattened, analyzed, argued over & amplified. How all of this feels so dark & poisonous

I am the first MP to be refused entry on arrival to Hong Kong since 1997. Authorities gave me no explanation for this cruel and upsetting blow. I hope the Foreign Secretary will recognise that this is an insult to all parliamentarians and seek answers from the Chinese Ambassador.

Jimmy Lai is on the stand today. This offers a rare chance to have his voice heard. Lai noted that Apple Daily upheld the value of freedom of speech & hoped the #HongKong people would enjoy such freedom. "The more information you have, the more you are in the know, the more you’re free.” Lai said.

未試過寫到自己都揪心，多謝明仔。文章略有刪節，下詳。 // 「我當然有想過離開，我很坦白地說，我有想過離開，但是香港有很多我牽絆的人和事，我覺得我應該為了他們在這裡，這個不是一個 promise，我不需要向任何人 promise，我自己一個人，我不需要向任何人去問責。但是有很多人和事仍然令我覺得我應該在那裡，留到我覺得我自己都不行了，那才算了。」// wavezinehk.com/2024/11/12/m...

黃耀明早前到加拿大卑詩大學與二百名聽眾分享，對於在香港無法開演唱會，他坦言曾想過離開香港，但為著牽絆的人和事，他決意留下，直到不能。但演唱會不一定要在香港，如很多香港人一樣漂流在外，黃耀明闊別加拿大五年後，「邊走邊唱」巡遊演唱會漂到多倫多及溫哥華兩地舉行。
