"What should human rights activists do when the nation state-led human rights order is eroding?" One tentative answer is that the human right community needs to rely on each other more. Individual wellbeing matters, and we should level our game to collective resilience. #UNRBHR2025

Autocrats love to smear mass protest and discontent as "foreign conspiracy" or "instigated by Western forces." Well Trump doesn't support democracy and USAID is axed, and autocrats are still scapegoating their failure and arrogance to external force

KontraS have posted this on twitter. Things are bad in Indonesia. Live ammo has been authorised by the chief of police against protesters.

It's been a while since I post becoz work is just overwhelming 🙈 And this is one of the battles @cleanclothes.bsky.social and allies are fighting. This case is crucial because millions of USD are at stake, plus the perpetrator is Malaysian #HongKonger wealthy businessmen. For years he has been...

Our friends in Thailand has been continuously harassed by the art 112 trial.

Today, Thai and #Myanmar CSOs representative held a condemnation announcement of Thai government for extending the invitation to Gen. Min Aung Hlaing to attend the 6th #BIMSTEC hosted by Thailand despite the strong #opposition from the #Thai and Myanmar CSOs.

To be fair, #Signal is secure, when used properly. That's why the UK online safety bill tries to break Signal encryption.

Hear, Hear! If we could handle our feelings, we could handle a lot more. /When you are under pressure for a long time, you have to find ways to cope. I try to face it calmly. I always say that we can’t change our circumstances. We can only change ourselves and how we handle our feelings/

I often feel powerlessness. But in transnational we have the power to narrate our struggle and own our stories - a building block for us to envision an alternative to the status quo and movement building. Thanks @insightmyanmar.bsky.social team for the conversation.

We didn't choose to live in darkness, but we could choose how to deal with it. There is plenty of injustice and desperation in #HongKong enough to shallow every aspect of our lives. We could choose to look for the light, embrace the inspiration and kindness our friends gave us.

When Joshua was escorted away from the court room, he chanted "I love Hong Kong, bye bye!" Gwyneth Ho wrote "It is the strong urge within me to do justice to what I witnessed and experienced, for they constitute part of me and define who I was. And I am now going to define who I am..."

#HongKong Prof. Benny Tai is sentenced to 10 years in jail for organizing a primary election for the pro-democracy camp. 44 opposition figures are sentenced from around 4 yrs to 8 yrs. They simply did something very normal in democratic society. They should be free.

#NGOshitpost Next to my table at a Bangkok coffee place. I overheard an hour long of conversation between two human trafficking NGO folks and one it'l news agency because they talked so loud. I learnt the name of the NGO field officer based in the Philippines, the comms person who is in touch w/

Going through TVB annual returns and CA reports, I was shocked by a few things: 1. The dire state of TVB's finances 2. How effectively local consumer boycotts decimated TVB's advertising revenue 3. How little resulted from so many complaints against TVB (yet so few justified the crackdown on RTHK)

Reading the election result makes me feel disgusted and anxious, though intensity of these feeling are lighter than before. I don't think it is numbness that make things less intense. Like many who have experienced repression and terror, we are still surviving (and sometimes thriving)...
