He was accused of shooting an FBI man at a shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation, but even the prosecutor in his case admitted "we don't know if he did it, but someone's got to pay" on the court house steps.
read the case files? or going off of Incident in Oglala and In the Spirit of Crazy Horse? I used to believe his myth but then I read everything. For decades, courts have denied his appeals and two administrations have denied his pardon. He murdered Agents Coler and Williams.
Wow !!! What an outstanding human being. I would love to see your closet !!!!!!! That is the coolest. Fashion is a most wonderful art form. Fabulous to meet you !
Wow !!! Those pieces are wonderful ! You selected superbly. They can coordinate with sooooo much and you were able to not only connect with a tremendous artist but continue to tell her story while living your beautiful life! I just LOVE that. Bsky is abundant with sisterhood !!!!! Rock on !!!
Why would maga allow news of an "immigrant" being released when they're busy tweeting about the ones they've reported? US news isn't news, it's propaganda.
Christ, if we go that far back, aren't we all immigrants from Africa? I will never know why people care so much, aside from hate. We're all humans. End of.
I have to wonder, at what point will Trump supporters realize that, THEY, are the ones destroying our country? I'm sure it will be too late. I think it already is.
Does anyone know how to remove the feature that automatically changes what you ACTUALLY write to what IT THINKS you mean cuz this is really pissing me off. BlueSky really needs an EDIT feature. This is NOT Twitter.
Good he got released for that, but he was still a criminal that shot at FBI agents and had previously assaulted a police in another state attempting to take his life. He's done some good activation, but he wasn't a great person
I personally don't want to advocate or equivocate for a justice system that locks up people for decades for being "not a great person"... Is this really what you want your public reaction to be
Yes, I want to help spread the truth about him. The people here where I'm at know the story, know him, and understand he wasn't a great person and that him and the other two put many lives in danger that night and caused their community a lot of hardships after the fact. They only made things worse
You very clear don't understand. I'm glad he got pardoned for this. He still tried to kill people and put his whole community in great danger. That's not a good thing btw since you guys don't understand. I've only spoken the truth. Not my fault if you're not smart enough to understand
I'm thrilled. I've been following this man's struggle since I was in my teens. I'm 60 now and cannot describe how satisfying this event is for me. #LeonardPeltierFreed
Also, I understand your skepticism. Given all the bs out there, it’s understandable. Check the rest of my feed. Also, we now live in a world where we have to convince each other we’re people. Jaysus.
Not a bot nor scammer. Not a 501c3, not setting one up unless I can’t find a suitable one to give to. I included “or social safety net nonprofits” as a backup incase that proves unworkable, then could give to United Way or similar.
G'wan. I've worked for NFPs and Development Depts my entire career. I've donated 10s of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours to many, many orgs.
I never made a penny off of anything. NEVER.
How do you spend "hours" to do pro-bono work. Did you show UP anywhere??? Cuz, I fucking SHOWED UP.
You’re replying to a bot. Bots making fake t-shirt links to scam money out of people is something that went on back on Twitter for years and now it’s made its way here
Yeah, big fucking deal. Biden should’ve released him at the beginning of his term instead of the end. Furthermore, those goddamn J6 protesters got full pardons, and all Peltier got was a commutation.
But sure, this isn’t a racist country
Such a happy event, though it would of course be happier had he had been completely freed! Does anyone know how “home confinement “ is defined? Assuming he can step outside for some sun and exercise (that’s allowed even in prison), what range is he allowed?
Leonard Peltier on kodus! Kes ei tea, kes see on ega viitsi uurida, siis lühidalt: Ameerika põliselanike vabadusvõitleja 1960-70ndaist. Sai eluaegse FBI agendi väidetava tapmise eest. On järjekindlalt oma süüd eitanud.
Tont seda nüüd teab, kellel õigus on, Saepuru seal kohal polnud. Kui päriselt ikka tappis, siis küllap oli see pikk vangistus õigustet (vaatamata kogu mu poolehoiule põliselanike võitlusele), aga vana mehe koju surema lubamine on ikka õige.
Kui räägib õigust ja tegelikult polnud tema tapja (sest uurimisele ja kohtule on mõndagi ette heidetud), siis muidugi igavene jama, et nii kaua kinni istus, Aga seda parem, et lõpuks kojus sai. Kuigi sisuliselt koduaresti.
His sentence was commuted, which is part of the Pardon Power. Even if the Pardon Power weren't absolute, reversing that decision would violate the 5th.
I remember when my grand and great grandmothers would whisper his name as I grew I screamed it now I scream rejoice on the behalf of my loved ones and what he stands for
Thank you for publishing the letter and reminding us of Leonard Peltier. I was fortunate to spend Thanksgiving of 1981 with Russell Banks at the Lakota encampment in the Black Hills. The encampment challenged US corporate takeover of the Lakota mineral rights.
Welcome home! I hope you eat well, enjoy the beauty of your home and your people all the days of your life! We never stopped thinking of you and hoping for your release!!
God bless, I wish him good health, boundless love, and much peace!
And goddamm; 50 years, more than half his life. There is no justice in the US justice system.

Justice? Not if you're red in the US.
Welcome home, Leonard.

At this point I just hope the US has elections in 4 years, but he already said they wouldn't.

I want to make sure you're doing what you say you're doing.
Else, I would rather just support the charities directly...
That's their schtick.
I'm 64 and haven't fallen for any bs scam yet. But, I will call them out. I also fuck around with telescammers 'til they run crying for their mummies.
Your initial post was very, "I want YOUR money, so I can do thing"
I am a very seasoned contributor. I've worked for many NFPs and NGOs.
Making a t-shirt is not WORKING.
It's not hard to find a charity to work for.
Hence, you are in it for the cash. Kinda desperate.
Cash grab? Hardly. I thought people might enjoy them.
I never made a penny off of anything. NEVER.

Thanks for the info. I thought I discerned a scam. If I see it again, I'll report it.
But sure, this isn’t a racist country
Earned a life sentence? Also no.
He is a political prisoner, put behind bars in an attempt to quash the Native Rights movement.

Evergreen was a spot o' green.
About goddamn time.
I don’t think Trump ever gave a pardon that wasn’t quid pro quo.
My love is with Peltier.
