I remember having so much hope for Hong Kong when this happened. Heartbreaking

A good reminder not to take for granted things like the right to protest, because there are always people who seek to take those rights away. It always seems like it could never happen, until it does.

Holy shit this was 5 years ago? It feels like it was 2 years ago max.
