That Irish-American anti-racist you heard about. Queer and mad.
Anyone can choose to be an anti-racist, but time is running out. Please, fix your hearts if you want to live.

You need to get over yourself and accept that you keep losing because you keep backing racist losers with nothing to offer but reheated white grievance politics, in a primary that lives and breathes by the votes of Black and Jewish people lmao.
This might actually be my finest work.

When I traveled by car through Washington State and Oregon for the first time, I asked Black woman at the desk in the motel what towns to avoid on my trip.

This is the part they neve4 address. If you sat out or didn't vote for Harris, whst did you accomplish? I'll answer. Not a damn thing. Nothing. Killed more people if killing people was the red line. That is fact.
Your red line did absolutely nothing in 2024 and, in fact, actively made things worse in every way.
So you're deciding to do all that *again*?
So you're deciding to do all that *again*?
the burden is on the people and a big first step is refusing to vote for people who violate red line issues like advocating for continued funding to Israel and reforming ICE. if you vote for them regardless, what’s the point of having a red line?

Because, oddly enough, Anglo-Saxon colonialism is a cause pretty fucking near and dear to my heart, you fucking harpy. I support a united Ireland. I support Land Back movements in North America. Hawaiian independence. Palestinian independence. It's all of a piece.

So, your argument against the dignity, self-determination, and agency of the Hawaiian people boils down to "there are more of us than there are of them."
Pathetic.

Hawaii is not a 1950s African colony where there's a tiny white minority of elites repressing an ethnic majority against their will. It's a diverse polity with universal suffrage which fairly and democratically voted for statehood in the United States.

This is just the hand-wringing of every colonizer when the people they've displaced and repressed begin to push back. Land Back and restorative justice for Native peoples are inherent goods worth pursuing.
Given that your proposed alternative is an ethnonationalist state where a tiny minority rules over an oppressed majority, it is, at this point, a virtuous position. The only other alternative is ethnic cleansing.

Every independence movement is a ridiculous dead end, until it isn't.
Your entire position on this subject boils down to "colonialism won, we're here now, get over it" which is transparently self-serving, cowardly, and cruel.

it’s quite funny when people pretend to be offended by the obviously correct statement that the modern Hawaiian independence movement is a ridiculous dead end
By "Hawaii independence dead enders," are you referring to the Hawaiian Natives at the heart of the ke ea Hawaiʻi campaign? Cuz, uh, yikes.
What if I told you that Native sovereignty and self-determination aren't the sum of a pro/con list, and are actually inherent goods worth fighting for?

The sheer level of know-nothingness in this skeet is a sight to behold. No historical understanding, no understanding of Hawai'i's tourism industry, no perspective from Native Hawaiians. Just vibes alone.
my favorite part of the Hawaii independence dead enders is that they are also almost universally anti-tourism
and it’s like, you realize that as an independent country Hawaii would have to be *even more reliant on tourism* to sustain its economy and standard of living

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

This is extremely dishonest rhetoric. Notice how this person is trying to imply similar conditions to slave uprisings in places like Haiti, despite the fact that slavery was banned in Hawaii. Notice how they try to reframe this from a colonial takeover to a class struggle. Notice the fucking racism.
The majority of Hawaiians are descendants of the workers imported to run plantation agriculture on the island (Hawaiian nobility working hand-in-hand with white businessmen) and statehood was a popular revolt against said aristocracy. There's no reason to discount their opinion except gutter racism.

Plausible deniability and innuendo are the cover that a lot of whites like to operate within. Jeffries and Schumer have robbed that from the GOP going into this vote and I think that is something of some strategic value.
Like, listen to what the GOP is saying. They've taken the bait. They're out here calling the most lukewarm set of law enforcement reforms imaginable "unworkable" and a "nonstarter" and are accusing Dems of holding the country hostage for an agenda.
The GOP is not taking any of these compromise funding bills. Jeffries and Schumer know they won't. So this is a strategic exercise.
I think there's more rhetorical value in getting them on the record rejecting the milquetoast reforms right now.
