Congratulations to 🇹🇻’s Foreign Minister, @SimonKofe, for his nomination for a #NobelPeacePrize! Hon. Kofe’s speech at @COP26 in knee-deep water brought international attention to the #climateinjustice & struggles of small islands in the Pacific. 👏👏

The Ponce Massacre was the most violent example of the execution of Pro-independence Puerto Ricans by command of US appointed Governor of Puerto Rico Blanton Winship. Then he used the media to stage these photos with “fallen officers” to convince the world Boricuas were violent.

Lets go with the No Fuel 0% no parts per billion TPH In the precious wai of our islands And #shutdownredhill @oahuWP

How much fuel is too much in drinking water? The Honolulu Board of Water Supply says the state health department has been too permissive. In 2017, DOH increased the allowable limit of diesel in drinking water from 160 parts per billion to 400 ppb. civilbeat.org/2022/02/hawaii…

Elder 77-year-old Native activist Leonard Peltier tested positive for COVID-19 today. Peltier has diabetes and an aortic aneurism. His condition is worsening, and his defense committee is asking he be transferred to a hospital immediately. huffpost.com/entry/leonard-…

Reminder that there are 28,788 Native Hawaiians currently on the waitlist to receive land meanwhile the US military gets to lease for $1 while poisoning us

The US Military pays $1/year for the privilege to desecrate, bomb and poison thousands of acres of Hawaiian Lands with total impunity so yeah, let’s ‘reignite that debate’

Plenty words on UH football and (mis)placing blame. But dead silent on Red Hill pollution to our drinking water. #leadership priorities? staradvertiser.com/2022/01/22/spo…

This is eco terrorism on occupied land.

This is what Pu'uloa (Pearl Harbor) looks like after the @USNavy flushed millions of gallons of water through their fuel-contaminated water lines out into the sea in an effort to clear the pipes. #shutdownredhill

Native Hawaiians pay more on their leases individually than the entire US military does collectively and I think that's criminal.

It's been a century since the passage of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. But now lawmakers seem to have the political will to invest in the program, potentially helping thousands of people get off the homestead waiting list. kitv.com/news/local/law…
