“This is, for us, genocide.”
Keʻeaumoku Kapu headlines a rare piece in a sea of reporting about the Maui wildfires. @McKayJacqueline’s article in @CBCIndigenous examines it in relation to the erasure of Kānaka Maoli & Hawaiian land rights. A must read.

Reports suggest 93 people are dead, 1000 people missing still, and 2700 structures destroyed. To consider this an economic opportunity to acquire land for development & profit is beyond the pale. The colonial speculation of disaster capitalism is happening right now in Lāhainā.
Lahaina residents worry that rebuilt homes in their Maui town could slip into the hands of affluent outsiders seeking a tropical haven rather than homegrown residents who give the Hawaiian island its spirit and identity. apnews.com/article/hawaii-ma…

"Lahaina is not for sale." Maui resident Tiare Lawrence talks to @KatyTurNBC about real estate investors reaching out to residents after the destructive fires on Maui.

Post statehood indifference to Kanaka Maoli struggle encapsulated in a report I'm reading re: Sand Island evictions in 1979, wherein instead of letting fishing families stay in their homes, proposals to instead install an exhibition on the history of the bathing suit.

Our archives are so political, it's a wonder the colonizer hasn't lit em on fire. Our archives are the antithesis to the occupier's attempt to "obliterate the past". Come connect w your kūpuna and help bring this 'ike forward.

Its come to my attention that Matt Gaetz — alleged pedophile— has said that it’s always the “odious.. 5’2 350 pound” women that “nobody wants to impregnate” who rally for abortion.
I’m actually 5’11. 6’4 in heels. I wear them so the small men like you are reminded of your place

Hawaii public schools need to do better.
Kanehoalani posts a horrible example of white-washed miseducation of Hawaiian history.

In addition to “nation” or “gather together,” the term lāhui also means “to prohibit, forbid, lay a taboo, proclaim a law.” We keep the kapu because that is what defines us as a people. #layingdownthelawhui #kapualoha – at Honolulu, HI
