The place I work. (Light duty), Outrigger or Voyager 47 club room hasn’t had a sound system since the renovation, so I rigged this BT system with an old iPod. 70 years of Hawaiian music from my collection. It works.
Looking forward to seeing to final counts for today’s protests. Heard an estimate of 11m. We need to start planning the next one, we can only count on ourselves. Congress and courts won’t come to our aid.
Always top of mind. Hawaii’s Queen
The last time I saw 1500 Kona people in one place was at the UB40 concert at Swing Zone quite a few years back.
Just saw a post on Mastodon neither Hawaii Senator or Representatives or Governor showed any support for todayʻs protests. Out of Touch.
Hawaii showed up. 1500 I’m sleepy Kona. Many many more giving encouragement driving by. We can’t be ignored
Trump has brought out the radical side of my wife. It was always there, just suppressed. She’s half Native American. Whew!
There is a breath so gently breathing So soft, so sweet, by sighing breezes That as it touches my whole being It warms me in my heart
We’ll be attending the last No Kings protest in the country in Kona this afternoon. Mahalo to Guam for kicking everything off
E ku’u morning dew
I won’t be carrying flags tommorow, but my ancestry hails from Italy, Ireland and England. My bloodlines left England a long time ago (well established in N America by early 1700s), the Irish more recent (late 1700s) and Italian still more recently (late 1800s).
Everything the US government has ever done in Hawaii has been bad. If they aren’t going to return sovereignty to the Hawaiians, at least stop doing damage and leave Hawaii’s people be.
On another note, I’ve worked with immigrants my entire life, most legal, many not. Filipino, Samoan, Vietnamese, Hispanic, Chinese, Japanese, Aussies more recently Micronesians. They work, pay taxes, contribute, volunteer. Their kids go to school and play sports with our kids. Nothing to see here
