"Leonard Peltier’s Emotional First Interview Since Release"
by IndianCountryToday
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a5wIU7j1jhs
Quote by ICT:
"Mar 9, 2025
"I could tell he was trying to fight back tears..."
After 50 years in prison, Leonard Peltier speaks out. What does freedom mean to him? What’s next in his fight for Indigenous rights?
Watch the full interview with AP’s Graham Lee Brewer— about his exclusive one-on-one interview with Leonard Peltier only on our channel." [If you can find it, send me a link JdeB]
D'où le prix, certainement 🤔...
#art #pinceau #Leonard #aquarelle #madeinfrance
Chouette, mes nouveaux pinceaux pour l'aquarelle sont arrivés 😃!
Le pinceau à lavis tête ronde a désespérément besoin d'eau. Il est archi dur 😅!
En revanche, le pinceau plat Aquarellys est extrêmement souple... Et tellement dououououououx 😌. Cette incroyable sensation sur la peau 😏. Bon sang, il me vient tout à coup des idées sur la manière de tester cette douceur 🙄😈...

What a chicken-shit, 11th hour move from Biden. Instead of pardoning #LeonardPeltier for a crime that his own prosecutor said he didn't do, #Peltier's sentence was commuted to house-arrest for the rest of his life (to surely avoid the ire of the FBI). DJT was getting sworn in within the hour--how difficult to change the word "commute" to "pardon"?
https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5095591-biden-commutes-leonard-peltier-sentence/
While this is surely one of the happiest days that #Leonard and his family have had in a long time, this isn't justice.
Moments before leaving office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist #Leonard #Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.
Peltier was denied parole as recently as July and wasn’t eligible for parole again until 2026. He was serving life in prison for the deaths of the agents during a standoff on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
He will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement.
Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Emery Nelson said after Biden’s commutation that Peltier remained incarcerated Monday at USP Coleman, a high-security prison in Florida.
The fight for Peltier’s freedom is entangled with the Indigenous rights movements.
Nearly half a century later, his name remains a rallying cry.
An enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota, Peltier was active in the American Indian Movement,
which began in the 1960s as a local organization in Minneapolis that grappled with issues of police brutality and discrimination against Native Americans. It quickly became a national force.
The movement grabbed headlines in 1973 when it took over the village of Wounded Knee on Pine Ridge
— the Oglala Lakota Nation’s reservation
— leading to a 71-day standoff with federal agents.
Tensions between the movement and the government remained high for years.
On June 26, 1975, agents went to Pine Ridge to serve arrest warrants amid battles over Native treaty rights and self-determination.
After being injured in a shootout, agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams were shot in the head at close range, the FBI said.
American Indian Movement member Joseph Stuntz was also killed in the shootout.
Two other movement members and Peltier’s co-defendants, Robert Robideau and Dino Butler, were acquitted of killing Coler and Williams.
After fleeing to Canada and being extradited to the United States, Peltier was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced in 1977 to life in prison, despite defense claims that evidence against him had been falsified.
Biden’s action Monday followed decades of lobbying and protests on Peltier’s behalf by Native American leaders, human rights activists, liberal lawmakers and celebrities who maintain he was wrongfully convicted.
Amnesty International has long considered Peltier a political prisoner.
Advocates for his release have included Archbishop Desmond Tutu, civil rights icon Coretta Scott King, actor and director Robert Redford and musicians Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte and Jackson Browne.

Wow, diving into #Leonard #Nimoy ’s discography seems very … promising :D

On December 5, right-wing culture warriors instructed lawmakers attending the
American Legislative Exchange Council’s ( #ALEC )
"States and Nation Policy Summit"
in Washington, D.C.,
on the steps their states can take to upend policies and practices
designed to help address the unfolding climate emergency and diversify workforces.
CRC Advisors Senior Vice President 💥#Mike #Thompson 💥led the workshop
“Battles Won, War Continues:
The Left, ESG and State Policy,”
according to materials obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD).
In 2020, #Greg #Mueller and #Leonard #Leo, who played an integral role in Trump’s effort to pack the federal judiciary with right-wing judges,
founded CRC Advisors
— the group Thompson represents
— to “funnel big money and expertise across the conservative movement.”
Although not as well known as Leo,
Thompson, a member of ALEC’s private sector advisory board,
is an important Christian Right operative
who plays multiple leadership roles in campaigns and communications.
Thompson’s public relations skills were on full display in his remarks
demonizing the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ),
“a global coalition of leading financial institutions committed to accelerating the decarbonization of the economy”
in order to preserve the planet from further destruction.
Thompson argued that large asset managers and banks that participate in GFANZ
— including BlackRock, State Street, Wells Fargo, City Bank, Morgan Stanley, Chase, and Bank of America
— are breaking antitrust law by utilizing sustainable investment strategies.
Thompson provided an example of a lawsuit against BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard
filed last month by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and 10 other Republican attorneys general
— all active members of the fossil-fuel backed "Republican Attorneys General Association" ( #RAGA )
— alleging that the three companies violated antitrust law in colluding to raise electricity prices through their investments.
“The states have filed an antitrust lawsuit and they detail in it all of the evidence where those three companies were colluding to keep coal in the ground and from coming to market,
thus, driving up the price and violating antitrust law,”
Thompson told workshop participants.
The PR professional neglected to mention that CRC Advisors is a paid consultant of RAGA
or that his boss Leo’s "Concord Fund" has funneled $3.5 million to the pay-to-play group this year
and $20.3 million since the organization was founded in 2014, according to CMD’s analysis of its tax filings.
#Sal #Nuzzo, the first workshop presenter, is executive director of
"Consumers Defense",
the sister organization of Consumers’ Research,
which is a vice-chairman sponsor of ALEC’s summit and a driver of the right-wing’s manufactured crisis around “woke” capitalism.
Nuzzo argued that reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through renewable energy production would force Americans to cede
“two-thirds of [the] U.S. electricity generation supply chain to the Communist Party of China.”
He didn’t cite a source for this claim, nor does the group’s website provide any research substantiating it.
Nuzzo also attempted to raise the alarm with lawmakers from states that depend on agriculture
by claiming that the Left has “shifted their attacks and tactics into the agriculture space”
in response to anti-ESG legislation passed over the last three legislative cycles
and has moved to prevent farmers from getting access to loans.
“The [Left’s] coordinated attacks on agriculture are occurring at all levels.
They’re at the producer level.
They’re at the distributor level.
They’re at the consumption and sales level,”
Nuzzo claimed.
“If farming interests cannot get financing, [farmers] cannot operate.”
#Paul #Watkins, founder of "Fusion Law" and both a senior legal fellow at "Consumers’ Research"
and a special counsel with "Heritage Action", made a number of claims in his presentation
based on his belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are discriminatory,
and therefore illegal.
As a member of ALEC’s "Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force", he is involved in drafting and voting on most of the group’s pro-fossil fuel policies alongside lawmakers and polluting industry lobbyists.

For decades, as a leading figure in the Federalist Society and other conservative legal groups,
#Leonard #Leo identified and promoted the careers of lawyers and law clerks who shared his regressive views of the constitution.
He supported the confirmations of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito.
Now, having done so much to influence American jurisprudence, Leo has set his sights on reshaping American culture.
His plans involve the #Teneo #Network, which describes itself as a "talent pipeline" for the conservative movement,
with ambitions to influence Hollywood, Silicon Valley and other cultural power centers that he and fellow conservatives see as dominated by liberals.
The proposed technique is similar to Leo's network of judicial nominees:
raising money from conservative donors to help identify, connect and promote the careers of like-minded people.
In the language of Teneo's one-page website, the group exists "to Recruit, Connect, and Deploy talented conservatives who lead opinion and shape the industries that shape society"
https://www.npr.org/2024/11/24/nx-s1-5199049/federalist-society-conservative-supreme-court
Inskeep: Do you see this as a multi-decade project, rather like the project for the judiciary has been?
Leo: Well, I think these kinds of changes do take time, although I have to say I am impressed by how quickly the Teneo Network has been able to build pipelines of talent in these places.
And I am also very impressed with how quickly you're seeing efforts, for example, in the journalism and entertainment spaces, the standing up of new production studios and news platforms.
Very impressed with the speed with which the debate about ESG [environmental, social and governance] has kind of flipped and changed.
Electoral reform was on the ballot in several states this election.
-- Why did these measures fail?
Americans in several states rejected ballot initiatives to curb extreme partisan gerrymandering and implement open primaries and ranked-choice voting.
Ohio voters decisively rejected a ballot measure that would have stripped lawmakers of their ability to draw electoral districts and given it to a 15-person bipartisan commission of ordinary citizens.
The vote came after Republicans, who control the legislature and redistricting process, ignored the state supreme court seven times to draw districts that heavily favored Republicans.
Voters in seven states – Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and South Dakota – all rejected ballot measures that would have done away with party primaries and replaced them with a non-partisan primary in which the top vote-getters would advance to the general election.
Several of the measures would have implemented ranked-choice voting for the general election.
The defeats were somewhat surprising.
Ballot initiatives to curb partisan gerrymandering and implement electoral reforms have been broadly successful in recent years. Bipartisan momentum around them has built, especially after Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
But the failures this year show that momentum may be stalling.
Opposition to ranked-choice voting has grown more organized, led by a network linked to #Leonard #Leo, the influential conservative who has wielded enormous influence in shaping the US supreme court.
“In retrospect, it looks like it was always going to be a tough year for these pro-democracy ballot measures,” said Deb Otis,
the director of #FairVote,
a non-profit that supports ranked-choice voting.
“The presidential election was looming heavily over voters and with a large number of ballot measures in some of these states. I think maybe voters defaulted to a no position on new concepts.
“I also think the ranked-choice measures were harmed by an increasingly well-organized national opposition,” she added.
“This opposition is driven by funders and organizations that have sown uncertainty in our elections for years. These are the same forces behind [the] ‘stop the steal’ [movement] and election denialism
