With the Oppenheimer movie getting all the garbage attention, unfriendly reminder that the US occupied Okinawa after WW2 and decades later "returned" it to Japan. Not only is there still an American base there, but Okinawa is an independent nation, not an Island of Japan. Neither Japan nor the US should have at any point taken control of the island.
Both governments are currently complicit in the unlawful occupation of Okinawa. Anyone who wants to learn more can check out Rob Kajiwara on YouTube, who is an Okinawan activist pressing for the return of the island to it's people.
#nobody clown on this post#japan is still working against the ryukuan and ainu people#and the us actively discredited okinawa as an independent nation for 80 years#okinawa#ww2

Their onyx feathers glistened in the eerie light,
woven in ebony nests, entwined and eternal.
Kunigami [国頭村],
Okinawa, Japan
[These two beautiful feathered souls shared a moment of pure adoration. I was blessed to capture this adorable encounter. 🖤]

On April 1, 1945, U.S. Marines from 2nd Battalion, 22nd Marine Regiment, exit their amphibious vehicles onto Green Beach One on the island of Okinawa. It was both Easter Sunday and April Fools when American forces landed that day.
