If you are traveling to or through Hong Kong, here is a new thing to consider when you are deciding whether or not to take your devices with you and how you should set them up.
I went to an anti-Trump protest today. There were a wide variety of different issues represented there; several Ukriane flags, tons of anti-war messages, a few trans rights, some general queer rights, some BLM signs, two or three pro-Palestine (very little Palestinian representation), many woman's rights, many pro-Democracy, only two anti-DOGE, and more.
I brought a sign with "Who is the administrator of DOGE" and a trans pride flag.

Judge for yourself, but I think this criticism misses the point - intentionally - of the resolution.
Also, it *was* an atrocity lasting 400 years and impacting millions of victims. No atrocity is good or should be understated, but some atrocities have more impact than others, and this had a massive impact.
