Grassroots. Spontaneous. Mobilisation. Ad hoc. Organisation.
What I'm seeing on Hong Kong social media.
All volunteer stations in Tai Po fully 'manned'. All supplies distribution stations, sufficiently supplied. Blood donations, fully sufficient. 'Buddy' support, almost 1-on-1.
This is Hong Kong ๐Ÿงก

Trump administration will reexamine green cards issued to people from 19 countries "of concern" President Donald Trump has asked for 500 more National Guard troops to be deployed to Washington, DC, following the shooting of two guardsmen. The suspect is in custody and the investigation continues...

This makes me very worried for many of my Burmese- American friends (or green card holders from the various nations within Burma that hold a Burmese passport) www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

There's also estadounidense which is the 1:1 counterpart of what the USian people are trying to make happen. Personally, I'm fine with American meaning different things in Spanish and English.

This is a thing among some folks in Central and South America. I was light-heartedly taken to task by my host dad in Bolivia ca. 2002 for the US's somewhat oblivious use of "American" to refer to us alone when it's a word much of the hemisphere claims. That said, neither he nor I lost sleep over it.
