728 billionaires now hold more wealth than half of American households. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

A total bombshell. “When a justice’s lifestyle is being subsidized by the rich and famous, it absolutely corrodes public trust. Quite frankly, it makes my heart sink," said Canter of @CREWcrew Incredible reporting by @js_kaplan @justinelliott @Amierjeski propublica.org/article/clare…

Once again the Navy is trying to move the goalposts on shutting down Red Hill. They wanna take 5 years to shutdown while our water is threatened everyday. AND they wanna leave their toxic tanks in place, even after they poisoned 100k people
The Navy is proposing that its World War II-era fuel storage tanks and pipelines at Red Hill be permanently closed by August 2027 and stay in place after they are drained of fuel, according to a plan submitted to the Hawaii health department on Tuesday.

Today, @BWSHonolulu Chief Engineer Ernie Lau briefed me on the recent discovery of petroleum substances in the Moanalua monitoring well. The urgency to shut down #RedHill and protect our precious wai remains my top priorities.

The Navy had known for years the Red Hill was falling apart. They knew hours before thousands of gallons of fuel spilled from their facility that catastrophe was imminent and instead of stopping it, they operated as normal and tried to cover up their failure.

A new report shows that the Red Hill facility showed critical system warnings hours before the fuel spill that poisoned Oʻahu's water. This once again shows that the Navy had ample warning that something was wrong and chose to do nothing. They willingly poisoned us.

Is the KEEP SCHOOLS OPEN AT ANY COST crowd gonna start a campaign to raise teachers’ salaries?

How many times we gotta tell you #shutdownredhill?
The fuel plume is moving and now trace amounts are being detected in an adjacent well.
The Navy has poisoned an Oahu aquifer and is stalling on defueling and mitigation of risks after multiple leaks and people got sick

Hauʻoli Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea! Happy Hawaiian Sovereignty Restoration Day!
On July 31, 1843 Kauikeaouli proclaimed “ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono” to mark the end to British occupation and restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s sovereignty. We celebrate this national holiday!❤️🔥

Happy La Hoihoi Ea. If you think climate change should be solved by switching military vessels over to clean fuels, we're not on the same side.

Jon Stewart just now: Republicans “haven't met a war they won’t sign up for and they haven’t met a veteran they won’t screw over.”

"We recommend #NHB... Who would target homelessness by expanding social services; push for clean-energy technology beyond wind and solar; and pursue comprehensive state-level planning to manage sea level rise - another crucial issue in her coastal district."
