As a homeless person in the richest part of town, I stand with the native Hawaiians in their fight against the joggers and dog-walkers. When you see them in your neighborhood, you know you've been colonized.

The native Hawaiians were the victims of American genocide and imperialism. If Putin did it you would be screaming to send more weapons.

Create “Indigenous Living Communities” where tourists/part-time occupants can only buy a condo in an area created just for this type of housing. Extra taxes that go towards indigenous peoples community. Oprah can donate her property as a show of good faith.

Seeing how the government has abandoned them, are you planning to visit them over to hear directly from them? Same for East Palestine where Biden has not visited yet?
