Hong Kong now exporting its protest techniques, especially in Catalonia.
Two pro-Hong Kong bills passed the House on a voice vote. The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, H.R. 3289 enables sanctions against officials “responsible for undermining fundamental freedoms and autonomy in Hong Kong" and the Protect Hong Kong Act would halt tear gas and rubber bullets from being exported to Hong Kong. I'm actually surprised to see this move so fast. I have my reservations about HR 3289, and also given Elaine Chao's Chinese business connections, doubtful that Mitch McConnell will actually take it up for a vote. But we'll see.
Anyway, Boston Celtics player Enes Kanter says he won't be silenced over Turkey. Pointed implicit critique of Lebron James's Twitter statement here.
