Oppressive regimes inspire resistant forces. The terror begins and ends with the state. Any response (aggressive or otherwise) is a consequence of empire and conquest. Address the root cause or shut the fuck up with your critiques of liberatory struggle. #deoccupypalestine #freepalestine

ʻOnipaʻan over the years 🖤✊🏾 today I’m Celebrating more than 131 years of resistance to American imperialism and white supremacist bullshit. Wishing everyone a powerful day of commemoration of the 131 anniversary of the illegal overthrow of our kingdom. Let us not forget that to resist American control here means we must resist American (and European) imperialism and militarism everywhere. Remember that when Kumu Haunani said “we are not American” she also spoke of the wrongful occupation of Palestine in the same breath. Remember that our ea is tied to their ea. that none of us are free until all of us are free.

Free Palestine ✊🏾 Hawaiʻi as been an “essential” and “strategic” component of the United States military operations since the United States first leased Pearl Harbor in 1875. Following the US BACKED overthrow of our sovereign constitutional monarchy, US military operations have only expanded. With a rigorous eye towards the mechanisms of that proliferation, it is hard to imagine that any expansion of American (or western empire) has been achieved or maintained since the 19th century without some sort of connection to Hawaiʻi’s ongoing Military Occupation and the training readiness and weapons testing taking place in our home. With this history and present in mind, as Kanaka, we must face every aspect of US military violence and US backed military intervention (including the ongoing genocide in Palestine) as being intimately connected to the creation and maintenance of Hawaiʻi as a military state. Our liberation as Kanaka Maoli is intimately tied to the liberation of our Palestinian ʻohana— and any other ʻohana struggling under the weight of American and western military prowess. Understanding this history (and studying at the feet of my beloved Kumu, Haunani-Kay Trask and Teresia Teaiwa) has informed my own internationalist approach to the liberation of our peoples. We must learn that in the specters of war and death we should be both concerned with where and how weapons are used for war to kill and control– and where and how they were developed, tested, and trained. At both end of this spectrum are Indigenous people suffering under the violent power of imperial forces. This violence is cyclical. Our intimate connection and commitment to each other through an international approach – is the only thing that can transform the world and save our lives. In the brilliant words of Maya Angelou, “none of us are free until all of us our free” It is from this position that I say unequivocally and without reservation— we must not only end the genocide but also commit fiercely to ending the ongoing occupation in Palestine. From Hawai’i to West Papua, from the Congo and Sudan to Palestine— liberation for all peoples living under oppressive regimes.
Free Palestine forever &free Hawai’i from these Eurocentric dreams
Free Palestine. End the occupation. Stop the US FUNDED genocide. Cease fire now!

Main moral of this story o Noho’anaapiapi: Get the navy out of pu’uloa 💥& watch out if your wahine meets a surfer 🫠🙃. I mean — if the mele bellow can overcome the charm of a surfer.. nothing can 😂 O Līhuʻe ke hele ʻia (O līhuʻe she has gone) Honi aku i ke ala o ka mauʻu (Sniff the sweetness of the grass) i ke ala o ke kupukupu (the sweet scent of the wild vines) E lino ʻia ana e ka Waikoloa e ka makani he Waiopua lā. (Twisted about by the stream Waikoloa and by the winds of Waiʻōpua) Kuʻu Pua (My cherished flower) Me he pula lā i kuʻu maka, ke ʻoni i ka haku ʻōnohi (It is as though there is a mote in my eye, that blurs the vision) Ka wailiu i kuʻu maka, auwe auē (that turns to tears, I am lost, I am lost) 🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀 How lucky am I to get to teach beside this brilliant man? What a blessing to watch my students cherish him and the ‘Ike he offers them. This is a semester I’ll never forget ❤️
Happy 2nd birthday to my favorite kia’i of all time. Thank you for choosing me and @malialia to be your parents. You make life more precious than I ever could have imagined. And you insist to remind us every moment of every day what we must continue to fight for. What a tremendous gift to be your māmā ❤️✊🏾💥
We fund genocides on the opposite end of the globe. We enlist our children and aina in endless wars. We let our people fall crushed under the weight of racial capitalism. Our kin are rotting away in cages. Our loves are suffering while tourists post up in hotels and short term rentals that could offer housing and stability to families. The world is on fire and the waters are rising. The settlers and occupiers are settling and occupying. This is the reality of our world— whether we wish to see it or not. Most days I am overwhelmed by grief. And yet I feel no despair. This little one puts everything into perspective. Most of all she reminds me of the preciousness of life — not just hers —but all of ours. The fight continues. For her. And for her whole generation. I believe that we will win. 🖤
From Turtle Island through Oceania and across the globe to Palestine: All oppressive / colonial regimes must fall. solidarities and aloha must be built and extended across colonial and militarized borders in order to do so. A fight against colonization and occupation at home requires siding AGAISNt colonization and occupation EVERYWHERE. (It’s just simple math, y’all) We must End the genocide and century long ethnic cleansing In Palestine. We must condemn any one / any government that would finance and support such violence (looking at you USians and Hawaiians). We must fight relentlessly against state violence and terror with the principled faith that will we win. Because we will. Because we will. Because we will. “Say it in your heart, say it when you sleep”, I believe that we will win ❤️ Sisterhood and solidarity forever ✊🏾🇵🇸. 📸 somewhere in the bay. Sometime around 2019– A pack of radical sisters shared stories of love and resistance from their homes in Oceania, Palestine, and turtle island.
