The Black woman-founded school burned down in the #Lahaina fires because the US restricted water to Lahaina, kept lines electrified in high wind, and the US' colonial-capitalist overtourism, destructive agriculture, and climate change caused by US-led profit seeking over people and planet.

🌺Really enjoyed our postponed from last summer getaway to Maui last week. It was especially a nice reprieve from the anxiety inducing fires and inauguration b.s. that was happening. Here’s a clip snorkeling with a turtle with phone in a waterproof bag. A highlight of the trip!🤙🏻Aloha!

Why is prolonged #drought a problem for Maui? In my photo I shared, you can see a large mountain that is covered in invasive grasses that are highly flammable. It was just a year ago that Maui had the devastating series of fires that reduced Lahaina to charred rubble. We are just as vulnerable to another serious #wildfire event as we were in the summer of 2023. Frontline had a fantastic #documentary that covered the #Lahaina fire.
