Missouri passes Trump-backed redistricting plan to help the GOP in the midterms


Opponents say the plan dilutes the power of Black voters around Kansas City and vow to block it in court or with a referendum. The governor, who's expected to sign the plan, says it reflects the state's conservative values.

A special tribute to Hawai'ian History, Culture, & Music.

First time in 20 years Hawaii’s renowned genealogical chant to be performed


At the legendary Iolani Palace, home of the last King & Queen of the Hawai'ian Islands.
I guess many will recognize this as the iconic "opening credits" scene for the longtime TV series, "Hawaii 5-0"

This is in honor of "the last Queen" Lili'ukalani

KAPOLEI (HawaiiNewsNow) - For the first time in more than 20 years, the Kumulipo, Hawaii’s renowned cosmogonic genealogical chant, will be performed in its entirety, all 2,102 lines, by five hālau in a historic cultural gathering at Κ»Iolani Palace.

The 2025 Kumulipo Showcase will be held on Sunday, Sept. 14, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on the Palace grounds as part of Kamaʻāina Sunday.

This rare and moving performance honors Queen LiliΚ»uokalani during the month of her birth and pays tribute to her enduring legacy, including her historic translation of the Kumulipo.

Known as one of the most profound expressions of ancestral wisdom, the chant traces the origins of the Hawaiian people from the birth of the universe to the genealogy of chiefs.

β€œHearing the Kumulipo in its entirety is a profound gift for our lāhui. It is a chance to stand in the presence of our kΕ«puna, to honor our Queen, and to carry forward the wisdom that has guided our people for generations,” said Kumu Mehanaokalā Hind, senior advisor to the CEO at the Hawaiian Council and Kumu Hula.

Yes - but camper and truck not a van. The obstacle I ran into as a White man is that our government upholds or core American values of greed, cruelty, brutality, and violence. It requires proof of citizenship via home mailing address for any meaningful participation in society (like voting and having a job.) Thus the conditions which led me to being without home (no job during a pandemic) were also the same conditions that our government refused to permit me to seek relief from.

As a kid reading sci-fi in the school library I'd watch the librarian assistants laminate cards and imagine human sized lamination machines that would laminate space suits and hostile weather gear onto people.

In Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space the Demarchie is using a similar technology. They have a "suit wall". You walk through and wear a standard space suit.
