728 billionaires now hold more wealth than half of American households. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
A total bombshell. “When a justice’s lifestyle is being subsidized by the rich and famous, it absolutely corrodes public trust. Quite frankly, it makes my heart sink," said Canter of @CREWcrew Incredible reporting by @js_kaplan @justinelliott @Amierjeski propublica.org/article/claren…
Today saw a personal milestone. yay me! That said, I have been replaying the event in my head all day and this is what I wish I had said! <shakes an angry fist at the sky> 😌
Once again the Navy is trying to move the goalposts on shutting down Red Hill. They wanna take 5 years to shutdown while our water is threatened everyday. AND they wanna leave their toxic tanks in place, even after they poisoned 100k people
The Navy is proposing that its World War II-era fuel storage tanks and pipelines at Red Hill be permanently closed by August 2027 and stay in place after they are drained of fuel, according to a plan submitted to the Hawaii health department on Tuesday. civilbeat.org/2022/11/navy-p…

Navy Plans To Close Red Hill Fuel Facility By 2027 But Keep Empty Tanks In Place
It’s the first time the Navy has announced a date for the permanent closure of the facility at the center of last year’s massive fuel contamination crisis.
This woman is an inspiring advocate for justice and clean energy in Prieto Rico. People in Hawaii should follow her. #CleanEnergyforall #climatejusticenow
“We need the federal funds that are available, and could be awarded in response to Fiona, to be directed toward an urgent transformation to renewable energy on roofs.” newsismybusiness.com/queremos-sol-c…
Today, @BWSHonolulu Chief Engineer Ernie Lau briefed me on the recent discovery of petroleum substances in the Moanalua monitoring well. The urgency to shut down #RedHill and protect our precious wai remains my top priorities.
This has to stop
Maunaloa is ablaze. This photo shows the fire spreading from Pohakuloa Training Area where the US Army practices livefire training. Reports say cause is unknown. American empire is scorching our lands then using our water, which they’ve contaminated, to put out their own fires.
The Navy had known for years the Red Hill was falling apart. They knew hours before thousands of gallons of fuel spilled from their facility that catastrophe was imminent and instead of stopping it, they operated as normal and tried to cover up their failure.
A new report shows that the Red Hill facility showed critical system warnings hours before the fuel spill that poisoned Oʻahu's water. This once again shows that the Navy had ample warning that something was wrong and chose to do nothing. They willingly poisoned us.
Is the KEEP SCHOOLS OPEN AT ANY COST crowd gonna start a campaign to raise teachers’ salaries?
The desensitisation to Palestinian suffering is horrifying.
How many times we gotta tell you #shutdownredhill? The fuel plume is moving and now trace amounts are being detected in an adjacent well. The Navy has poisoned an Oahu aquifer and is stalling on defueling and mitigation of risks after multiple leaks and people got sick
Well, I feel validated. I am just curious if anyone is calling the Chamber of Commerce alarmist and extreme for all their sky-is-falling rhetoric about the economy failing if we paid higher wages. How many years did they obstruct progress that most people support?
In exactly 2 months, Hawaiʻi's #MinimumWage will increase from $10.10 ➡️ $12/hour as the first of 4 steps to bring the wage up to $18 by 2028. Overwhelmingly, both business leaders & the general public support this #WorkingFamilies policy win. Source: hawaiibusiness.com/hawaii-tourism…
ironically, working at a defense contractor is, uh, not defensible
