@iamshainamartin Am I trippin?!?! Tell me this ain’t sus!!! Hawaii is literally a “melting pot” where people from all over the world come to visit and many never go back to where they came from. #sus #stopthebullshit #nooneissafe
Are you kidding me?! Hawaii is literally stolen land by the US. Then they are being terrorized by ICE — land that is populated by natives, Filipinos (mostly Ilocanos brought by the Americans to plantations), Japanese, and Latinos. The white people are the immigrants there, idiots!
The anger and terror that they feel are similar to how we felt during the Duterte years. The thing though is that American media is complicit while Philippine media pushed back against fascism. That’s why some colleagues won the Pulitzer Prize. I was also a victim of the Duterte machinery in 2019, all the harassment from trolls and being singled out by some cabinet members after I pushed back against them.
All the media reports and documentation we produced were used to help bring Duterte to The Hague. The diligent human rights lawyers and rights fighters worked nonstop to bring justice to the likes of Kian and countless others who were killed without mercy.
My MAGA uncle is flying here in July with his entire brood and he is asking for help in booking a house and van for rent. I don’t think I’m thrilled to meet up with them. He once declared Trump’s second term is like the second coming of Jesus as he will save America. 🤮
