Since the US banned our Hawaiian language, it nearly went extinct. Less than 100 kids spoke it in the 80's. Kids are STILL punished for speaking Hawaiian today. The fact we've 30,000+ Hawaiians speakers now is testament to our struggle to preserve our culture from eradication.

Hawaii also leads the US in the school-to-prison pipeline - #1 in rounding up children, especially Native Hawaiians. Part of the continued US attempt to destroy us indigenous people and lifeways.

Since US invaded our sovereign country, Hawaii also tops the US in police killings, disproportionately Pacific Islander, and Hawaii is by far #1 most economically unequal. (I worked with homeless/at-risk kids in that tent city in Honolulu).

Native Hawaiians / PI have the HIGHEST rate of incarceration in the US, and the lowest healthy life expectancy. Settler colonialism is ongoing as we're being cleared from the land for resorts, used to make maitai umbrellas, etc. in the prison-industrial complex.

Our Native Hawaiian children are also targeted by the US for child removal to prevent parents from passing Hawaiian language, history, and lifeways down to the next generation. CPS is a tool for cultural genocide.

More on Hawaii that had the world's highest literacy rate, world's first Universal Healthcare, invented submarines before Jules Verne published 20,000 leagues, before the US invaded, banned our language and culture, ghettoized us, and buried the history.

A thread on my game Neofeud about my life as an impoverished Hawaiian, social worker and STEM teacher for other poor/homeless, living in slums beneath billionaire mansions. My experiences refracted through the lens of satirical cyberpunk.

The entire US 'state' of Hawaii is a fraud - the vast majority of Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiians) were against becoming a territory and then state of the US, but there US did a military coup, and later a sham referendum using US soldiers to rig the vote.

Do not vacation in Hawaii. The majority of Native Hawaiian businesses do not rely on tourism, whereas foreign colonial-capitalist ones do. We're also running out of water and land that the US military is rapidly destroying.
