We are optimists. We have to be. It took 72 years of grit to win the vote in 1920. We've got more work to do empowering voters. We're convinced we can get it done defending democracy. History proves that persistence pays off. Bring on the new year. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Kona, Hawaii was the final protest in the US. It was pouring rain but we still had about 1,500 peaceful patriots.

We're calling for a special session of the HI Legislature to pass bills to protect us from the Trump regime. Call your State Rep & Senator and demand a special session. Prohibit masks on law enforcement. Provide funding to fill cuts. Discuss all funding decisions in public.

The Park Service had removed the installation, saying that it was out of compliance with its previous permit.

I don't know who made this and would love to give them credit for it but it sounds about right.

ICE has kidnapped people from Kailua Kona, including a student who had all his papers in order. He was sent from Hawaii to California and then to Texas.
Shame on ICE.

Today we had people showing up with signs to make good trouble in Waimea and Kona on The Big Island in Hawaii. The attendance at just these two was more than 1 % of the total population of the island. Resist!

Economic experts today don't understand what Trump hopes to gain from the Tariff War, but it is really simple. Throw on big tariffs that hurt US corporations and foreign countries and then negotiate to grant relief if they put money in Trump's pocket. That is basic Dictator economics.
