2 Jul 23: Myanmar workers in Thailand staged a protest outside the United Nations building in #Bangkok to demand an end to Min Aung Hliang junta rule in Myanmar, the release of all political prisoners, progress towards the ASEAN 5-point consensus, and recognition of the pro-democracy National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG) and the People's Defense Force (PDF).

As the 3rd of July is Min Aung Hliang's birthday, this pro-democracy group took the opportunity to hurl insults and death wishes at the junta leader who took power in a coup d'etat in 2021 and met the people's resistance with mass incarceration, air strikes, tortures, hangings, and military operations.

Regarding the change of government in Thailand, a representative of the protesters gave an interview with the press that a pro-democracy government in Thailand would help greatly with the situation in Myanmar.

On the Thai caretaker government's recent attempt to reengage with the Myanmar junta, he commented that noone wanted this to happen. The meeting in Bangkok initiated by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs was condemned by numerous human rights organizations and rejected by most ASEAN governments for ignoring the consensus.

"Prayuth's dignity took a hit for sure. But he's probably used to it already."

"Min Aung Hliang and his cronies must face justice," reads the English statement from the assembly today in Bangkok.

We will build solidarity with people, despite language barriers, despite distance, we will build on shared values & desires. Not because we support a state but because we believe in justice & freedom from oppression.

And it is & will be messy, chaotic, full of contradictions. But if we stand on the side of the egg and listen & learn from each other, do what we can in what little ways we can... we can make a difference & that difference maybe some just feeling heard in their struggle but that matters too.

Anyways wrote something longer along these lines what feels like along time ago...
The #MilkTeaAlliance why does it matter?

https://medium.com/p/8bed98c4098e

And some will say the alliance is gone... the tag & the trend maybe but the solidarity isn't.

@hkjohnsonyeung RT by @laiyanhoeric: We remember each other struggle. ／We, in the #MilkTeaAlliance - FoM, have experienced similar massacres and bloodbath, while perpetrators often enjoy immunities for years, if not decades..All over the world activists are contributing their part to preserve memories of June 4./ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkjohnsonyeung/status/1665351372483579907#m

The latest missive from Albert Wu and Michelle Kuo is a great read. They go on a tour of Taipei's Little Burma and discuss the rise of racist and misogynistic speech in Taiwan's elite educational institutions

The cold-blooded killing of a prominent young political activist in downtown Vientiane sends a spine-chilling message that no one in Laos who criticizes the government is safe.

So like, the new Barbie trailer and character sheets (the template source for all those memes) dropped and poor Simu Liu is getting roasted on my twitter timelines, emphasis on the plural, because sure, film twitter might think he's getting a shellacking because his MCU movie was just so-so but really, is it really his fault that Tony Leung has Movie Star Charisma, or maybe it's because his pre-fame Redditor history went public, but see, the thing is...

Southeast Asians never forgot.

That's why the idiot is being ratio'd.

TLDR: ok, *we* can talk mad shit about Crazy Rich Asians. *You* do not get to erase the main lead's Iban indigenous identity (that he does claim, and aesthetically does resemble) because *you* can't identify other asian phenotypes west of Manchuria. Anyway, that was A Day.
