  1. Today is #IreiNoHi #慰霊の日 , official end of the Battle of Okinawa, though combat did not stop until 6/26/45. 1/3rd to 1/4th of the civilian Uchinaanchu population was ground to dust under famine and violence. Read the quoted tweet below to learn more about Uchinaa's (Okinawa - #沖縄) continued struggles. US and Japanese imperialism continue to fund active genocides around the word. The only way we get out of this is together. #NeverAgain

  2. it's #ireinohi #慰霊の日
    your yearly reminder that colonialism is *bad*
    at least 120.000 okinawans (more probably closer to 150.000) died in the battle of #okinawa and its aftermath. that's 1/4th of the island population at the time.
