I have nothing to skeet, and I am skeeting it.
Sarcasm, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes, satire, sensible shoes -- if we don't got it, you don't want it.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I find myself remembering how Chris Tang once said that any art can potentially be clandestine "soft resistance" if the govt thinks it could be interpreted that way.
In case you missed it, government authorities banned the selling of T-shirts with an image showing the hand sign for "LGBT+" in HK Sign language for no apparent reason at the Pride Event last Sunday.

Oh please. There is literally no way tearing down a few posters can "sabotage" an election, let alone one with this much promotion.
I'm guessing this is less about sabotage and more about GovHK interpreting public disdain for the election as a direct challenge to its authority. Which, you know, 🤷
