In the US legal system: Not Guilty ≠ Innocent He could still be guilty but there wasn't enough evidence presented to prove to the jury. That evidence may or may not exist but to say that people are found "Innocent" in this country is false.

since starting the Credit Card Points and Miles game 3 and a half years ago I've redeemed $16000 of free travel accommodations for myself + friends + family. i think that's pretty good for the scoreboard. only about $200 in "effective" annual fees so far, set to go way down later this year.

Using FOIA I managed to compile as much of my travel records as I could but it’s still incomplete (don’t have all my old passport numbers and they only save data from border crossings, no data on domestic travel). These are most of the trips I’ve taken in my adult life.

These are just flights. I’ve done many border crossings on land which is not recorded here. Mostly Europe and China.

At a protest of President Xi Jinping, Chinese citizen Junliang Jiang says that back in 2015, he wrote an article on WeChat but then got a call to show up to the police station and was allegedly told that he and his family would be arrested if he did it again.

Those who choose money over freedom and security deserve none of it.

黎智英出身广州商人家庭。中共建政后家产被没收,父亲先逃往香港,母亲被送去劳改,他被划为「黑五类」。 幼年在火车站帮人搬行李维生。据说一次香港旅客给他一块巧克力,说:“去香港,那里的东西都这么好吃。” 12岁他藏在渔船货舱,偷渡到认定「天堂」的香港。身无分文,在深水埗手套厂当杂工,月薪仅8港元,常睡工厂桌上。自学报英文,后升至销售、管理人员。二十多岁以炒股所得开办针织厂,为Polo等品牌代工。这段经历常被视为「狮子山精神」典范:从内地难民、童工白手起家。 1990年创办壹传媒,推出《壹周刊》;1995年创办《苹果日报》,迅速成为香港发行量最高报纸之一。《苹果》以敢揭权贵、敢骂中共著称,1990至2010年代是香港最具影响力的中文媒体之一。 他后皈依天主教,结合信仰与自由民主、反威权理念,长期资助泛民主派,并亲身上街。2014年雨伞运动、2019年反送中均公开参与,2019年赴美会见副总统彭斯、国务卿蓬佩奥。 庭审中他说:“我12岁来到这里,拥有的一切都是香港给的。”为心中“自由且甜”的香港,他选择留下,背负心中的“十字架”。 20年重刑对78岁老人无异于死刑。一个人为民主自由向死而生,一个自由时代无声的落幕。 了解更多请关注:@ChinaTruth

图片中红圈内的人物为美国纽约华社侨领陈善庄(John Chan)。他长期活跃于纽约布鲁克林,深度参与当地华人群体及社团活动。 他频繁组织华侨社区活动,在政客竞选及外部政要到访期间(包括习近平访问旧金山,以及2026年9月23日至25日习近平访美)扮演组织动员角色。 在2024年3月,陈善庄作为少数受邀的海外华侨代表之一,前往北京列席参加了中国人民政治协商会议(全国政协)第十四届全国委员会第二次会议。 《纽约时报》等媒体曾发表专题报道,称其为亲中共的纽约“权力掮客”(Power Broker)。他掌控福州同乡会等多个非营利组织,长期向其支持的纽约两党政客输送政治献金,并动员社区选票。 @FBI

The Russian propaganda machine would have you believe the flash mob of support for Russia is organic , like everything else that emanates from dark places, it isn’t. It’s a lie.

It's hard to get somebody to understand something if their financial wellbeing is dependent on them not understanding it.

中国体育最恶心的地方在于,把1000个孩子集中在一起训练,连文化课都耽搁了。这1000个孩子中,有一个得了奥运会冠军,就大力宣传,企业给钱,政府给奖,让这个冠军赚得盆满钵满,名满天下。而其余的999个孩子就地解散,爱干嘛干嘛去!这999个孩子这些年没有知识,没有技能,连工作都很难找到。
