Today is the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, making it oddly timely in light of everything that’s playing out in the United States right now. Congressman Joaquin Castro nailed it when he drew the apt comparison between what the Chinese regime did back then, and what the Trump regime is trying to do right now:

31 years ago today, the Chinese government murdered students who stood up to tyranny at Tiananmen Square. Whether in Beijing then or Hong Kong and Lafayette Park now, we must oppose the use of military force to crush peaceful protesters. The right to free speech is universal.
