How can Brenton Awa be better for Native Hawaiians while carrying Trump—and the GOP’s assault on Hawaiian programs—on his back?

Twenty-five years later, we still mourn the 2,977 lives lost. The Military Industrial Complex mourns nothing—it just cashes the check. My new cartoon on 9/11, the war machine, and the millions of names that have yet to be counted here in the heart of the crumbling empire.

An avatar of empire, clutching the instruments of our destruction, exhaling hurricanes toward the islands. The climate crisis is not natural—it is manufactured, and it is profitable.

When “liberating” Iran starts with bombing school girls, the rhetoric of freedom is exposed as a lie. Examine instead the West’s history of overthrowing democracy for oil, of enabling Israel’s rogue nukes, and of serving the Epstein Class’s drive to crush the last West Asian nation resisting its financial domination.

The U.S. isn’t liberating Venezuela’s oil—it’s poisoning the nation’s future with debt to create a permanent financial slave.

Between President Trump’s tariff chaos, haphazard cuts to government functionality via Elon Musk’s rogue agency DOGE, and Congress advancing $5.1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich on the backs of the rest of us, it’s looking like the U.S. economy and the empire that supports it are headed for a painful, stupid end.
