"Our nations are caught in the middle,” of the massive US escalation in aggression towards China, says Kawenaʻulaokalā Kapahua. Kapahua is the Political Education Chair for Hui Aloha ʻĀina, a Hawaiian independence party originally established in 1893 to resist the US occupation of Hawai’i. To him, the US drive towards war can in fact present “a major opportunity to start building, not just with ourselves in Hawai’i, but also with our Pacific comrades, neighbors, and cousins, to start fighting back.”

    Wait I thought there were several small goofy rightwing secession movements in CA. Are you all saying that there’s actual liberal left groups wanting the state of California to be independent?

      There’s a few different proposals for splitting California into multiple states to increase the overall Senatorial representation for CA. The specific proposals are all different means of gerrymandering those hypothetical states to one party or the other. So you might have right-wingers saying they want to take some conservative chunk of the state and make it a new one, giving the Republicans two new senators. Or you’ll have a lib proposal to split it into five states, three or four of which would elect Democrats.
