Much respect to TJ Perenara.

Vocal supporter of the Rainbow Community.

Vegan athlete!

Saw him at a Ceasefire protest chanting “Free Free Palestine.”

An actual role model.

I'm stoked about this, and can confirm the tracks I have heard are exceptional.
IMO as a fellow art-maker, making overtly political art that operates as clear social commentary feels more than necessary in our current context.

We seem to be making an album of woke mind virus, sarcastic, political bangers. It’s not gonna change dick, it’s just an honest to goodness fuck-you to every prick in power. With tunes.

How cool is this cultural merging....

Kanaks dancing the soamako, a dance from Futuna island, with a Ma'ohi Nui flag in the background lol

Moana Nui unite!

And they need their freedom and full Palestinian statehood in line with the 47 UN Resolutions that Israel has ignored for 57 years. No more stateless serfdom

One important aspect of the rule of law is that the law needs to be knowable in advance. Which is why the Minister of Justice is letting ram-raiding youths know about it through LinkedIn.

[Cynthia Nixon @CynthiaNixon]

Young people & people of color want desperately to vote for Trump’s Democratic opponent but won’t commit to someone funding the slaughter innocent Palestinians.

To win, our Democratic nominee must support funding for healthcare, housing & education not Netanyahu’s genocide.

@LukaszBuda I reckon it’s highly likely most of them did, unless they get some kind of exemption.

@cannibality Ah yes, we are all susceptible to the Kowtow trap

Hi Sam @phoenixfound and Con and I are @moniker_band -we do film scores. Last year we finished a big project. An orchestral score to the SpongeBob spin-off “Saving Bikini Bottom”. With songs by @tamineilson It’s out soon! Watch it with your kids. https://t.co/Zlwyuw0lnx

Israel does not have the right to “approve” land seizure because it is illegal under international law.

“Israel stealing more Palestinian land,” that’s your headline.

[Sarah Jane Teurakura Parton @sarahjaneparton]

@cjsbishop A small minority group are also caused “immense hurt and pain” hearing the words “Black Lives Matter”, “Always Was, Always Will Be”, and - in NZ - “Tino Rangatiratanga”.

France has done this to Tahitian/Ma'ohi activists and independence leaders before, detaining them in France or other countries

Also, as someone else pointed out, activists in Algeria were sent to Kanaky previously

@dolphinsutd @AdHaque110 Actors from parties that are not signatories to the Rome Statute can still be prosecuted by the ICC.

International law folks:

I'm updating my Law of War syllabus for the Fall (use of force and IHL, some ICL & human rights).

Please share the best / your favorite papers from the last 2-3 years below.

Articles, book chapters, blog posts welcome.

Many thanks!

seeing people use the Indigenous names for other Pasifika countries (as we SHOULD) but consistently call Māʻohi Nui “french polynesia” is so frustrating lolll

My personal reward for voting Biden in 2020, and paying my 2023 taxes, is that I will have 2000 pound bombs dropped on refugee camps on my conscience for the rest of my life.
