[image text, slides taken from @kānakaautonomy on IG: "Want to know the REAL reason gas and power prices are CRUSHING Hawai‘i families, being told we should 'plan our budget', or be better at 'reducing our total energy costs' despite consuming the lowest amount of energy in the nation, all while paying the highest prices? (verbatim from email sent by Joe Viola, Senior Vice President, Hawaiian Electric) If you guessed THE MILITARY+TOURISM, you are right. Jet fuel accounts for nearly three-fifths of the petroleum products consumed in the state. Because of significant demand from military installations and commercial airlines, jet fuel makes up a larger share of total petroleum consumption in Hawai‘i than in any other state. Residents, who consume just 1/10th of total energy in Hawai‘i (the lowest in the entire 'nation'), are PERSONALLY PAYING EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIVES, often choosing between basic necessities&paying the power bill or putting gas, FOR YOUR MILITARY AND YOUR VACATION. The same jet fuel they use to poison our waters, they use to steal our hard-earned dollars. WHEN WILL THE WAR CRIMES END? Demilitarize Hawai‘i. Hawai‘i is closed." /ID]

a reminder that, at a time of massive evictions across the country due to eviction moratoriums ending, getting your power shut off often also usually means eviction and subsequent homelessness, &being unable to fill your tank on an island with some of the worst traffic in the country thanks to constant overcrowding usually means losing your job.

getting extremely tired of seeing hot takes centered around the idea that not being happy about gas price hikes is somehow a moral failing or inability to focus on other, bigger problems.

& stay the fuck out of Hawai‘i.

there isn't any water, medical structure, gas, OR electricity to spare for your fucking vacay.

On this day, 31 March 1990, the poll tax riots broke out in Trafalgar Square, London, after police attacked 200,000 people demonstrating against an extremely unpopular and highly regressive tax introduced by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government. Police launched a violent assault on peaceful demonstrators, including rapidly driving police vans through the crowd. But this backfired severely when the crowd defended itself, pushed back the police, then went on the offensive, destroying property and expropriating goods from stores (looting). South Africa House, the diplomatic outpost of the apartheid regime, was set on fire. One participant recalled: “The most important thing for me was the way people were prepared to face the riot police. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was incredible to see people running in to pull others out when they were being arrested… The next thing that sticks in my mind was seeing the ordinary pigs in full flight down Whitehall, and the roar of the crowd chasing them… The noise was brilliant, the bravery of people on my side was enough to convince me that we are not so helpless after all.” Police arrested more than 300 people on the day, with around 150 subsequent arrests. Meanwhile leading left establishment figures denounced the rioters promised to “name names” and “root out the trouble-makers”. But the riot helped spur more widespread opposition to the tax, introduced in England the following week, and was eventually defeated by a mass non-payment campaign.

A recent royal tour intensified a spotlight on Britain's colonial history, renewing questions about how much longer a double-digit list of Commonwealth countries — including Canada — will have a monarch as their head of state.

The week-long tour, which wrapped up last weekend, saw Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, visit Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas in a bid to shore up ties between Britain and those countries.

Instead, the trip drew protests and public demands for reparations for slavery, and saw unexpected news from Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness that his country intends to become fully independent.

In doing so, Jamaica would become the second Caribbean country to cut ties with Queen Elizabeth in recent years — following the lead of Barbados, which did so in 2021.

But more countries in the region seem to be considering the possibility.

[...]

A recent poll by the Vancouver-based Research Co. suggests a lot of Canadians would agree.

Slightly less than half of those surveyed said they wanted the country to have an elected head of state, according to the online poll of 1,000 adults that was taken over a three-day period in February.

Mario Canseco, the president of Research Co., said that figure — now  "a whisker away from 50 per cent" — has been climbing in polls he's conducted in recent years.

"It's the highest we've ever had," said Canseco, referring to his prior polls.

A further 18 per cent of those surveyed said they did not have a preference as to whether Canada remained a constitutional monarchy or not. Just 21 per cent of those surveyed said they preferred for Canada to remain a monarchy.

I got a tumblr, it really was quite great

I blog about a lot of things, but mostly what I ate.

I thought it was a sweet gig, it really was quite cushy.

Then they went and banned me, ‘cause all I ate was pussy.
