    "We speak out – as black people and Americans – to condemn these attacks and support Justice Thomas, because to remain silent would be to implicitly endorse these poisonous schemes as well as his destruction." #clarencethomas realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/…

    Beijing doesn’t have much to lose these days when it comes to its public reputation. If there was ever a time for the regime to decide that it wanted to take extra steps against those who stand for liberty in Hong Kong, it would be now. acton.is/2Wzcdz4

    Jimmy Lai hasn’t been shy about putting his resources behind the pro-democracy protests that have roiled Hong Kong for months. Lai has put everything on the line—his business, his reputation, and, many now worry, his freedom and life. acton.is/2ytoNrH

    In 1800, kings had silk stockings. Today, factory workers have flat-screen TVs, antibiotics, and air travel. That’s the capitalist achievement.
