striking to see how there has already been so much more coverage and discussion of the Open Letter among the many journalists I follow than what is currently going on in Hong Kong
a massive security law that threatens the lives of millions is an actual example of "cancel culture" but that would require many white US journalists to care about a place currently associated with a racist term for Covid-19 despite its complicated status and history
Or even the case of @mariaressa and what is happening in the Philippines: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/audio/2020/jul/09/maria-ressa-and-the-increasing-attacks-on-the-free-press-in-the-philippines">https://www.theguardian.com/australia...
What& #39;s happening in Hong Kong is really scary for a lot of people I know. Like the early days of Covid-19, it feels really sad and lonely to see how little it seems to be registering or worth discussing, especially among people who have a lot of power and influence.
