Two Years Since Chinese Doctor Sounded Alarm Over COVID-19
HERO: Today marks 2 years since Dr. Li Wenliang learned about SARS cases in Wuhan. He sounded the alarm. Police summoned him for middle-of-the-night interrogation & under threat of prosecution made him sign a promise not to “publish untrue statements.” He later died from COVID.🕯️ pic.twitter.com/45aWwlrjbI

China Marks Anniversary of Chairman Mao’s Birth
No. Let's recall that Chairman Mao
• slaughtered thousands of his political adversaries in early 1930s
• exterminated hundreds of thousands of landlords in early 1950s
• starved 45 million peasants to death in Great Leap Forward
• murdered 2 million in the Cultural Revolution https://t.co/8I1RRjc8HL— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) December 26, 2021
