A huge protest just went by on Queen Street in Toronto calling on the “media to tell the truth” after a video went viral of the Dalai Lama kissing a boy.
Show me what resiliency looks like?
Without any context the videos and photos of H.h interacting with the boy is being ciruclated inside Tibet. That has only caused a burst of joy and happiness for Tibetans, for they are now able to look up His name and get a jey-ka.

Beijing has no business hosting the 2022 Olympics. My homeland བོད Tibet is a media blackhole and the CCP is hellbent on trying to eliminate the Tibetan identity.

Love & Peace, it’s our culture.
Hundreds of Tibetans in TO peacefully marched for media accountability on coverage of H.H.D.L and to spotlight the Tibetan freedom movement.
#FreeTibet
We must hold CCP accountable for the millions of Uyghurs in concentration camps, hundreds of thousands of Tibetan children being forced to learn mandarin instead of their mother tongue, the assault of HK’s democracy & list goes on.
Thank you

She & other Chinese dissidents met with a Canada-China relations parliamentary committee this week
Today as hundreds of Tibetans, HKers, Uyghurs and allies gathered to UNwelcome Xi.
The Chinese govt thugs attacked us during a peaceful protest by pulling our banner from the floor below almost pulling us over the edge of over 4 floors.
On 11/15, a group of four peacefully protesting Tibetan youth activists were brutally surprise attacked by a gang of over 20 masked Chinese operatives. They stole our banner, assaulted our activists, and fled the crime scene.
Watch the following video to see the attack.
Over a week has passed and this is the first TV media interview im doing to share the Tibetan perspective on this late internet craze.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
SFT unfurled a giant banner on an overpass above Xi’s motorcade as he was arriving in Paris. In China, Xi may be able to ignore the plight of Tibetans, but in France we are going to expose his lies and guarantee that Xi cannot forget us.

Every moment Xi was in SF, we held our Tibetan flags& told our truth.
Truth of Xi's dictatorship & how his time is UP!
Your paid protestors & thugs will not silence us. We r the mountain people, we are the tsampa eaters that will never give up until we are FREE.

Saw some suspicious polling data today. Remember downplaying a candidates support is a political tactic. Polls are often inaccurate and not a good way to make your decision. Vote for the candidate that aligns with your values and who will take on issues that matter to you.
Currently in Budapest, where Chinese police were allowed to patrol the streets. Where we were and are being followed by secret agents, where the police ID us for over 30 mins whereas the “Chinese’s welcomers” are liaising with the police.

says China's record on Tibet, Hong Kong, Uyghurs, civil liberties are reasons to boycott the games.
Former Olympian & professor Bruce Kidd says that's unfair to the athletes.
Grateful for this feature. 🙏🏽
I dedicate this recognition to my parents, mentors, and our community, without whom I’m nothing. My community has raised me and given me the opportunities to serve, this victory is ours. ✊🏽
In broad daylight, they covered me up with flags so no one could see what happened underneath. I watched the elder woman and the young girl who were piercing their elbows and flag poles into me, quietly switch to the thugs i've seen the past few days attack and follow us home.
One of the highlights of our campaign has been connecting with youth who are excited to take ownership of our backsliding democracy & build a future they believe in.
Meet Jenushan. Grade 9. His first day canvassing with me, in the rain.
Our victory march to the Chinese embassy entailed the voices of Uyghurs screaming “Long live Dalai Lama”, Tibetans screaming, “East Turkistan belongs to Uyghurs” and all of our communities demanding that “XI: step down.”
We have love, solidarity & the truth on our side. ✊🏽

It's so rare that someone with such a gigantic platform who is part of an organization notorious for toeing the party line of the Chinese government (the NBA) is so publicly calling for a Free Tibet.
This is not just an Instagram post, it’s symbolic of the change that is coming!

While holding the Tibetan flag proudly over the tourist site that was in clear sight of the Erzsébet Bridge, I saw a familiar face yelling and cursing at me….this face was one that I saw in SF during APEC.
This thread hits hard. Cycling isn't about just staying active, for some ppl it's the only way they can afford to get to around. Shame that this is how the govt depletes our resources instead of building safe communities.

Chemi was arrested & detained for successfully disrupting the Beijing 2022 Olympic Torch Lighting ceremony in Greece this past week in protest of China’s human rights abuses.
Tonight, tenants of 130 Jameson met out front of their building to plan their fight against their landlords — Myriad Holdings & Brownstone Developments — after being served with eviction notices for having air conditioners.
knowing Hindi and Tamil growing up as a Tibetan kid, I always told ppl it was a blessing and a curse. A curse bcuz it reminded me of how many times my parents struggled and a blessing for interactions like these around the world 🥹💕
Such a beautiful moment.

From dancing to food, Tibetans in Canada are determined to hold onto their traditions. But thousands of kilometres from home, will their unique culture survive?
This is the story of Canada's 'Little Tibet':

The security conveniently left out of scene and there were 20+ Chinese mobsters who attacked us.
Here they are… who are these coordinated and trained looking ppl?
