South African rugby player Lindani Myeni was fatally shot by police in Hawaii in April 2021 — now his family is suing for wrongful death (warning: distressing)

The state of Hawaii and the federal government have made it extremely difficult for Native Hawaiians to thrive and prosper in their homeland

I was informed that it is technically not legal for a public servant to use state funds and resources for lobbying. I donʻt know what this is, but a supposedly progressive governor retweeting red herring fallacies is truly disappointing.

We urge @GovHawaii to halt construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea and ensure the human rights of Indigenous Peoples opposed to the telescope project are respected, protected and fulfilled. https://t.co/5gE0iS4zJU

An Open Letter to TMT Supporters,

We don't know how many times we need to say the same things, but we'll say them again:

- We are not against science.
- We are not even against your telescope.

The kiaʻi kuli came to share some sign language with us, they taught us how to sign kapu aloha, eō, ʻeā, and they finished by teaching everyone how to sign Kū Haʻaheo E Kuʻu Hawaiʻi @alakaeeyy

Needed one that's thirty meters to spot a Native Hawaiian 🧐

[Matthew Dekneef @mattdknf]

That pro-TMT rally was so small you needed, like, a telescope just to see it. 👀

Day 11 and counting. @brianschatz

[hawai‘i problems @hawaiiproblems]

Yet when it's the fourth day of standoffs on #MaunaKea and Hawaii's own leaders still haven't sounded off for the indigenous people in their own country.

[Matthew Dekneef @mattdknf]

At @puuhuluhulu university, in a class on Hawaiian holidays, Laiana Kanoa-Wong talked about the erasure of national identity thru Hawaii's post-annexation education system. Was reminded of these haunting images of children during American "flag raising exercises" in 1917.

You can't get to the Mauna (where they have limited internet access) but you want to lend your voice to the movement? This is how.

[Uahikea Maile @uahikea]

Governor David Ige just put out this survey. Tell him that we oppose TMT on Mauna Kea! #KuKiaiMauna #AoleTMT #ProtectMaunaKea https://t.co/dccd2tIk2q

[🔺 AF3IRM Hawaiʻi 💜⚔️ @af3irmhawaii]

MASSIVE demonstration in Waikīkī today. Pretty sure we’re lining Kuhio Ave end to end 😭😭😭 this movement is growing and not slowing down!!! #KuKiaiMauna #ProtectMaunaKea #MaunaKea #AoleTMT #TMTShutdown

[hawai‘i problems @hawaiiproblems]

About 70% of Hawaii's population lives on Oahu. Gathering in one of the most famous parts of the islands. This MUST be the biggest, most visible, and united gathering. Lāhui is counting on us!
