Leonard Peltier can go home, spending the rest of his days in home confinement. As the Biden administration ends, I’m proud that Native issues were a priority, even in the final few minutes. And I’m proud of the compassion this commutation demonstrates. I will miss both.
BREAKING: President Joe Biden has commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. Peltier will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement.

I teach students to use the law to fight for whatever it is they care about. But today’s lesson: Warriors need armor. Armor comes from your heart, & it’s fueled by ancestors, family, friends, & those fighting beside you. Today’s hugs are powerful. It’s you armoring up.

🚨The President will issue a historic apology for Indian boarding schools tmr. Nearly every Native family I know has stories or scars. This MATTERS. We need apologies to acknowledge harm, heal, & move forward. To do right, we must own up to our wrongs.

10. Start thinking about Tribes as real equal American governments--like the 50 States. Stop accepting them being treated like second-class governments. Support Tribal taxes, Tribal representation in Congress, Tribal court jurisdiction expansions, funding Tribal healthcare, etc.

Words can't do justice to how lovely my trip to Yale was. YLS was a gracious host and the Native community welcomed me home in a beautiful way. The Pueblo kids realized that I might be missing my feast so made me biscochitos. 🥹❤️ Thanks for an amazing event/trip @SolomonCtrYLS

So excited to pick this up. Congrats to @rebeccanagle on this achievement!
Today is the pub date of #ByTheFireWeCarry. I’m thinking a lot about the shoulders I stand on. My parents who have always had faith in me. The friend who celebrated milestones and coaxed me through the overwhelm. The incredible staff @HarperCollins who guided this book into being
