YouTube video by Andrew Millison How Hawaiian Rebels are Rebuilding an Ancient Food Paradise

A video on Nation of Hawaii’s restoration at Puʻuhonua O Waimanalo, land won through occupation. This is what #LandBack looks like, we must continue to fight for more sovereign land bases across our pae ʻāina.

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?

#landback means more food to feed our community which is exactly why we are coming for more

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?

Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did Since Texas banned abortion, no one has studied the statewide effects on pregnant women experiencing complications. Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and…

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.

Here’s how we did our analysis.

Hokulea arrives in Kualoa for her 50th anniversary ceremony. When she left on her maiden sail from these shores, she was the first traditional Polynesian Voyaging Canoe built in decades

Today, over a dozen sail in to greet her, a demonstration of the rebirth of waʻa traditions across Oceania. E Ola

Making ready for Hokulea 50th anniversary

Trump orders swathes of US forests to be cut down for timber President’s move to expand tree cutting across 280m acres evades rules to protect endangered species

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.

Aloha mai kakou. No Hawaii mai au, a i imi ia no kekahi punaewele wikio na ka aole like o Twita (X).

I speak Hawaiian, but can speak English also.

Makemake au e olelo Hawaii, no ka mea, ke hoemi nei ka poe olelo Hawaii. Nolaila, e hoomau ai au ka olelo Hawaii, maanei ame kahi e ae.

Auwe nohoi. Kaumaha ko'u puuwai. Ua lele ka hanu o Anakala Kini, he kupuna alakai Puuhonua o Puuhuluhulu ma Mauna Kea. He kanaka kue o ia, a he alii nui pu. Eo. Ea.

Manaʻo shared by the Kupuna of Moku O Keawe reminded us to be prepared to sacrifice for the betterment of Ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi this year.

To not leave if times get tough, find a way to stay, a relative to move in with & offer the same if needed. We need our ʻŌiwi home, paʻa & ready to fight for her 🌱

Ua wehe iā Kū!♦️

We welcome in the season of Kū as Lono departs. The Makaliʻi constellation ✨ is no longer visible at night & the days elongate

Akua of farming, fishing, & politics. A season of productivity, planting & action

It’s the responsibility of the collective to protect each other

The season of Kū has arrived, under the Kūkahi Mahina 🌙 Ola

Let us Kūkulu & continue to build community rooted power in the pursuit of ea & liberation of our national homelands from the American occupation. There has never been a more important time to be involved in community organizing. ʻOnipaʻa

Degrowth should be adopted as a core value of aloha 'āina and the sovereignty movement.

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.

O ka wa ma mua - an independent Hawaiian state and a pae 'āina-wide workers movement.

O ka wa ma hope - an independent Hawaiian state and a mass pae 'āina-wide workers movement. No ka lāhui always.

Indo-Paccom being one of the ONLY federal departments and even military commands to not be impacted by funding cuts should tell you everything about the fact that their purpose is insidious and meant to be subversive. Their role in the new Cold War is too crucial to cut

If our Kupuna saw their food system falling into disrepair they would say “clean em up already, stop complaining no food.” We have the right to seize all state lands protecting forests of invasive trees destroying our ancient agricultural sites. Get em all back into production, da time is now.

Another successful aloha ʻāina day yesterday at Nation of Hawaiʻi

We continue to build rock wall to stand for the next 800 years & 8 generations

Community rooted self determination is our niho stone & foundation as we continue to strengthen our vision of a free & independent Hawai’i for all

The way that employers are nickel and diming workers is crazy. Working at a union I see it every day. It’s not just low wages, corporations are trying to drain and suck every dollar from workers. Was just at a hotel that CHARGES its workers for lunch every shift even if they don’t use the cafeteria

Native ʻOʻopu Fish, Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii

Beginning to see our native ʻOʻopu Nakea (goby fish) appear in our stream at Puʻuhonua O Waimanalo for the first time in recent memory. They’re a “species of special concern” by the American Fisheries Society (AFS) & require cleared waterways to successfully spawn.

Welina mai! Welcome home! ❤️

On this day the Kanaka Maoli fondly commentate da killing of the historic war criminal Capt Cooke, who fucked around & found out

Let that be a lesson to any white nationals getting a little too excited in this moment

We will still crack u & bury u if u step out of line on our shores. Da imu is lit

If you have police officers in your family, the time is now to speak with them about disobeying orders. We don’t have to go along with this shit.

And we need to max tax all the evil billionaires who own prime real estate here.

hell yah, hawaii, get your freedom

We need to stop pretending we are subservient to these Nazis who are trespassing in our great Nation and stand up for our people.

If not now, when?

Our Alii understood our strategic geographic power in the world, the major port between Asia & the West. Our location remains our greatest asset.

It’s imperative that we exercise our inherent right to self determination & rebuild our society while the empire collapses around us.

It’s cowardly & a disservice to our people to not implement our full sovereignty to our maximum benefit in this moment. Which, per Public Law 103-150, Native Hawiians have never relinquished.

We are not DEI, the American’s visas should be revoked.
