The decision by authorities to ban “Glory to Hong Kong” is the latest blow to the international reputation of a city that previously prided itself on having an independent judiciary protecting the free exchange of information, and ideas, says State Department spokesman Matt Miller.

@w7voa That said, as long as our own country crushes protests, we are hypocrites to demand China (or anywhere else) not do it.

We need to lead by example here for once

@w7voa As Tom Lehrer sang:

So join in the folk song army
Guitars are the weapons we bring
To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice
Ready, aim, sing
