Another jet fuel spill in Hawaii by the US Navy The 4th known serious spill of toxic chemicals into our ecosystem since ‘21 Red Hill. The US Military is the greatest threat to life in Hawaii How many more times will we allow this before the Hawaiian people expel them for good?

The US Gov is looking to slash $500M in Federal funding for Dept of Hawaiian Home Lands. They are coming for every single Native Hawaiian program. If we’re no longer benefiting from federal funding what’s preventing us from reestablishing a sovereign Hawaii & rebuilding our own national wealth?

hey so, um, all this is terrible, but the *1st* thing we need to halt is this: Trump's EO to clear cut 280 million acres of trees in National Forests and protected public lands. our forests are irreplaceable. we need folks on the ground to stake out, track logging companies, create roadblocks, etc.

The real travesty in the firings of *promoted* probationary federal employees is their probationary status at all. That is a topic of bargaining and sadly something that has apparently been settled for by the union and it's members. It is truly absurd.

Hawaii is in position to call for the eviction of all US Troops unless all leases, not just those that expire in 2029, are renegotiated at a premium. As Federal programs disappear we would be well funded & positioned to reimplement our own Dept of Edu, Universal Healthcare & other social services

As the US Federal Gov freezes funding it’s important to remember the State of Hawaii has not been fulfilling its obligation to provide Office of Hawaiian Affairs with 20% of annual revenues generated off (stolen) Hawaiian Crown Lands/ Public Land Trust (PLT), $78.9M annually. This is $ owed to us

Nearly 1 in 3 #Hawaii households are struggling with food insecurity. In 29% of households with children, one or more keiki are food insecure. Food insecurity is the lack of access to enough food for a healthy life, don’t have enough to eat & don’t know where their next meal will come from.
