Turns out you can not only make good use of a jetski by using some parts of it to build unmanned sea drones - the type #Ukraine is using to turn #Russia's naval vessels into submarines.
With some proper preparation, a jetski can also be used to escape the grasp of an inhumane regime.
Welcome to #freedom, #KwonPyong. One more dissident getting out of #China. Let's see if Beijing will put a bounty on his head as #johnLee did with exiled #dissidents in #HongKong.

(Members of the #HongKongPolice Force, cheered on by their chief, are hauling in medals at the #WorldPoliceAndFireGames in #Winnipeg this week, angering #dissidents in #Canada who fled the #Chinese controlled territory because of a #PoliceCrackdown on #antiBeijing protests.
The organizers of the games say teams from Russia, Belarus and Iran were excluded on the advice of the federal government, but that officials raised no concerns about #HongKong )

For Latino investors and dissidents, Madrid is becoming the 'new Miami'.

The Spanish government has made closer ties with Latin America one of the priorities of its presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Holders of large fortunes; economic migrants; political dissidents and former members of governments; not to mention singers and writers: They are all converging at the Spanish capital.

"Many observers have noted that #HongKong authorities are increasingly using tactics similar to those employed by security forces in mainland #China to intimidate critics overseas. Harassing the families of #dissidents is one such method."

It just occurred to me that one advantage of using a decentralized service like #ActivityPub is that it makes tracking #dissidents much harder. Repressive governments are unable to easily threaten a single entity to reveal data on the dissident.

FBI arrests two alleged Chinese agents and charges dozens with working inside US to silence dissidents

"The agents were allegedly directed by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, or MPS, to create and maintain accounts that looked like they were run by American citizens. Topics of their propaganda machine include US foreign policy, human rights issues in Hong Kong, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Covid-19 and racial justice protests following the murder of George Floyd, according to prosecutors."

It has begun. The purging of #dissidents (As defined by the GOP). This is #fascism at it's very core, and will spread like wildfire until the #constitution itself will be purged.
