Join us! This (and every) Thursday to Crush ICE! 5-6 pm Honolulu: corners of Ala Moana Blvd and Atkinson
This is BS. $321k a year to “live comfortably” in Honolulu is super inflated. Seems like more fodder for aggrievment politics drumming up more MAGA “American dream” is dead anger.
ICE (and the other DHS goon squads) are stepping up their horror show at the command of the White House House. We need to step it up as well. Join us in Honolulu to Crush ICE!
Someone tried to stop our No Kings protest at the Hawaii state capitol building today by calling in a bomb threat. We just moved to another location. There were about 7 thousand of us and many, many more cheering us on with their honks and their shakas! We will defeat Trump.
Some asshole has called in a bomb threat at the site of the No Kings protest in Honolulu. Cops moving us away
Look! *Calladita, te ves más bonita (I don't look prettier when I'm quiet")* by Ita, shown at the International Women's month exhibit, *Cosechando Nuestra Rabia (Harvesting our Rage)* at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego. Thanks, Ita, for incorporating *Home Rule* into your work!
Hanno Brankamp's important new book: Occupied Refuge: Humanitarian Colonization and the Camp in Kenya! Marking a much-needed shift within refugee studies, it situates the politics of refugee camps + their neoliberalization in a broader discussion of colonialism, postcolonialism, and decolonization.

More kudos to students at Mililani High in Hawaii as they organize an anti-ICE protest!
Another day: another protest against ICE activities in Hawaii. Shout out to students at Leilehua High!
Castle High School students in Kaneohe, Hawaii walk out to oppose ICE trying to destroy their communities. Multiple levels of bravery from bullies in the school admin who threatened to suspend them and in their peer groups. #Solidarity
5 years old Liam Conejo Ramos-physically forced by ICE to act as “bait” to nab his father-is jailed in the same ICE camp in Texas where a migrantized man was recently killed by guards. Enough! People in Minneapolis need reinforcements. Senators and congresspeople must join the frontlines!
ICE arrests in Hawaii are up about 300% in the first 6 months of Trump's "mass deportation" police state, and are intensifying Get involved in a rapid response coalition. Act in solidarity with those targeted by ICE Let's expose their horrors and offer support to those attacked Join us on 12/29
@lunavives.bsky.social wrote a great book about the workers and union of a small spanish maritime agency that resists the state’s order to abandon people at sea. Much needed in this time of countless horrors caused by national border controls!
Just got my copy of this new children’s book about an abolitionist hero of the ages. Based on the book by @marcusrediker.bsky.social Need more for all the beautiful tots in my life!
Support for Israel in the U.S. Dramatically Declines, Times/Siena Poll Finds
National Citizenship-and more so, ideas of "national belonging" - have always been a mighty tool in the hands of fascists Hitler began his "final solution" by stripping Jewish people of their German citizenship, making them deportable. Farage (and most others in the EU) following the playbook.
The fairness doctrine imposed a duty on licensees to devote airtime to fair and balanced coverage of controversial issues that were of interest to the people in the places they broadcast. Repeal of it by Reagan in 1987 enabled the rise of hate radio and Fox that shamelessly adds "news" to its name
Crush ICE: No Secret Police protest, starting today and every Thursday from 5-6 PM until we turn this fascist tide! Honolulu: corner of Ala Moana Blvd and Atkinson Dr.
They are building the gulag infrastructure. All by spreading nationalist, anti-migrant politics. Don’t think we aren’t *all* going to come under the power of DHS/ICE and be subject to incarceration. They’ve already incorporated the National Guard and Marines. Let’s not wait to see what’s next
