The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, stole our land, destroyed our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of democracy. #election
“We are not American. We will die as Hawaiians We willnever be Americans... They took our land. They imprisoned our queen. They banned our language. They forcibly made us a colony of the United States” --Haunani Kay Trask

Hawaii is a Disneyland-like resort built over our indigenous communities & ancestor's graves, made to do bastardizations of sacred dances, in 'sexy feather headresses' & entertain the rich tourists for starvation wages, 12 hrs a day 7 days a week, drinking jet fuel poisoned water
The illegal US occupation of Hawaii results in mass sexual exploitation - Hawaii has one of the highest rates of missing persons, most commonly a 15- year-old Native Hawaiian girl
Since US invaded our sovereign country, Hawaii - tops the US in police killings, disproportionately Pacific Islander - Is by far #1 most economically unequal 'state’ in the US. Worse than LA, NY, and DC by far. - Leads the US in the school-to-prison pipeline - #1 in rounding up children, especially Native Hawaiians. Part of the continued US attempt to destroy us indigenous people and lifeways. - The US banned our Hawaiian language, nearly extinguishing it. Less than 100 kids spoke it in the 80's. Kids are STILL punished for speaking Hawaiian today. My mother's hands were shattered for speaking Hawaiian in school. - Native Hawaiians / Pl have the HIGHEST rate of incarceration in the US (4x whites), and the lowest healthy life expectancy. . - Our Native Hawaiian children are also targeted by the US for child removal to prevent parents from passing Hawaiian language, history, and lifeways down to the next generation. CPS is a tool for cultural genocide.

everywhere there's a British colony, there's a need by the colonisers to break the spirit and the culture of the oppressed population. It happens in USA, in Africa, in Canada, in Australia, in India, in Palestine. I want to see a global movement to recognise and restore these cultures that have been sidelined. Let the global majority show colonism where it belongs.
