The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated 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 independence
And my thing is like… why would you even wanna go to Hawaii if Hawaiians don't want you there…😭 do you not feel weird swimming and surfing while the residents battle the destruction of their ecosystem
there's been such a crazy shift in my perspective over the last few months and it's changed my life in amazing ways and i'm literally so grateful and proud of myself for finally doing the work i need to do
