I love this!!! It makes me believe that there really will be a day when everyone is treated equally if we all keep working at it.
His shirt reads “They gave me a medal for killing two men, and a discharge for loving one.”
You are a bad-ass.
I don’t have room for any llamas. OMG.
I’ve watched this video maybe 20 times now.
Look at these fierce ladies performing this hula, transcending the expectations of the hula mu’umu’u. Look at this hula confronting ableism, re-telling the story of Manamanaiakaluea, not as a woman who had struggled, was pitied, and was restored. This is a hula about the grace and power of Hi’iaka and the strength and resilience of Manamanaiakaluea.
This is a hula about survivance.

Greenville, Maine.
To say that her situation is fucked up would be a colossal understatement. I am asking for you guys to spread the word. More so if you are in Maine. Thank you.

NATO: Some Police Refused to Arrest Nonviolent Protesters →
”In a surprising turn of events, reports have emerged that numerous Chicago Police officers openly refused to arrest non-violent protesters – some officers even refusing to show up for work.”
“It’s just not right, ya know? I mean… uh… a lot of people think that every guy with a badge and a gun has a thing for lockin’ people up. But that really ain’t the case most of the time… I became an officer to help people, ya know?
