The police are a state-sanctioned gang. They don’t keep us safe.

Giving credit to my dad to who told me this years ago. He was someone heavily in the criminal legal system. He knew firsthand what the police and jails were.

What makes me sad is that a lot of people don’t know the feeling that your homelands are sinking and could, one day, no longer exist. That the lands that your ancestors called home and fought for could cease to exist because of neocolonial powers that refuse to acknowledge climate change is real. And that their bottom line is more important than you and where you came from. You don’t matter.

And that your land isn’t big enough for others to care. And that your people are too foreign for others to care. Yet you’re flooded with well meaning but useless advice to consume less individually, while corporations destroy homelands, poison waters, and release toxic fumes. No one blinks an eye.

The takeaway here is that climate change is a form of colonialism. Yet again, the richest nations in the world destroy and control the sovereignty of smaller nations. And take away vast resources and land from indigenous people.

I keep forgetting it’s #AAPI month and then remembering that #AAPI month always forgets Pacific Islanders

Anyways, if your #AAPI month doesn’t include Melanesians, Micronesians or Polynesians please stop gaslighting us

Also if you want to fully represent us, stop aggregating data as #AAPI. As Pacific Islanders we have our own specific needs that sometimes conflict with AAs. For example, Asian settler-colonialism in Hawaii and other Pacific islands.
