For all the reasons, looking at China and East and Southeast Asia; for the moment, looking for a reason to be back on social media. Officially at Amnesty International; when not in suit pants (and sometimes even in suit pants), parent to a toddler.

A Hong Kong court just handed out heavy sentences to 45 democracy activists. The pro-Beijing government is taking a hard line against anyone who would challenge it.

We (@badiucao.bsky.social and I) started a graphic novel in the final months of Trump’s first presidency, not expecting its release four years later to be timed to his comeback. YOU MUST TAKE PART IN REVOLUTION is about imagined totalitarian futures. 🫠 Now set for pre-order. COVER REVEAL:

I was asked today about whether I thought #JimmyLai was “public enemy #1” for #Beijing.
Sure, Lai is a symbolic target.
But the list of “enemies” (critics, lawyers, activists, folks who like Winnie the Pooh) is long; rather than debate who’s #1, let’s make sure we don’t forget anyone.

Jimmy Lai’s rags-to-riches-to-prison story mirrors Hong Kong’s path from outpost to hive of unbridled commerce and now battleground for Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s determination to stamp out dissent.

He Rose to Riches in Hong Kong. Now He’s a Symbol of China’s Crackdown.
Media baron Jimmy Lai, who protested for democracy, faces possible life sentence.
