Today, International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, is a day to uplift indigenous voices. To reflect on and honor their history, and their future. Follow #WeAreIndigenous
Hundreds of thousands of Native Hawaiians populated these islands when outsiders first arrived in 1778.
By 1780, 1 in 17 indigenous Hawaiians had died.
By 1840, the population had declined by 84%. #Hawaii#WeAreIndigenous
And yet, Native Hawaiians never stopped being the heart of our state.
Today, we celebrate, respect, and recommit ourselves to uplifting indigenous voices. #WeAreIndigenous

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are…
…hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me….
(1/6) Every time this Admin has been asked what the goal of our war with Russia is, using Ukrainians as our proxy, (i.e. how will we know when victory is achieved?) they’ve dodged the question by declaring the president of Ukraine will make that decision & the U.S. will follow...
(2/6) ...his leadership. So, the most important foreign policy position our country has faced in the last 60 years is not being made by US Congress or an American president, but by the leader of a foreign country.
(3/6) “At the end of the day, what this looks like, what end state looks like will be defined by the Ukrainians and not by us. And so we'll leave that up to President Zelenskyy and his leadership to talk about how this transitions.” —Lloyd Austin (Sec of Defense), May 23, 2022
(1/8) Supreme Court’s ruling regarding concealed carry is a strong step forward in upholding 2nd Amendment & our constitutional right to defend ourselves. 10 years ago there was a credible threat against my life by a man who knew where I lived & worked, and wanted to kill me by…
(2/8) …cutting my head off. I informally asked a high-level leader in the Honolulu Police Department whether or not they would approve a concealed carry permit for me if I applied, given the threat on my life. He said, “To tell you the truth – no.” . Like New York, HAW has a…
(3/8) …process to apply for a concealed carry license, very rarely, if ever, are they granted, even if there is a compelling need. Because of the law, I could not defend myself. Capitol Police deemed the threat serious enough to provide me with a security detail until he was…
(1/4) I'm not convinced there are biological weapons labs or biological weapons in Ukraine—that's not what I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about the existence of the 25+ biological labs in that warzone. As i said 2 days ago:
(2/4) “Biolabs”, “bioweapons labs”, and “bioweapons” are 3 very different things. But because these phrases are so similar, there is sometimes miscommunication and misunderstanding when discussing them. I recently experienced this myself. So let me clarify...
(3/4) “Biolabs” are facilities which contain and experiment with dangerous pathogens, ostensibly for the purpose of serving the public good (i.e. vaccines, etc.). “Biological weapons labs” are facilities which exist for the purpose of turning pathogens into weapons...
.@MittRomney, you have called me a ‘treasonous liar’ for stating the fact that “there are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world” and therefore must be secured in order to prevent new pandemics. Bizarrely, ...
... you claim that securing these labs (or even calling for securing these labs) is treasonous and will lead to a loss of life, when the exact opposite is obviously true. The spread of pathogens is what will cause the loss of life, not the prevention of such spread.
Senator Romney, please provide evidence that what I said is untrue and treasonous. If you cannot, you should do the honorable thing: apologize and resign from the Senate.
That’s a question
we should never have to ask
because the answer
should be threaded
through our society
It should be a fact
We take for granted
That we would never…

Or worse -
when she cries out, turn back
Just to protect those who attack her
