I am everyone
who ever died
without a voice
or a prayer
or a hope
or a chance…
everyone who ever suffered
for being an Indian,
for being human,
for being indigenous,
for being free,
for being Other,
for being committed…
I am every one of them.
Every single one.
Yes.
Even you.
I am everyone.

Free Leonard Peltier! Text quoted from NDN Collective's social media
35 people were arrested today at the #FreeLeonardPeltier 79th Birthday Action in so-called Washington DC.
“Getting arrested today, I’m resisting. I’m dissenting against the 48 years that Leonard Peltier has been illegally incarcerated by the United States government. I’m dissenting against the system, white supremacy, the police state and the system of incarceration and we’re doing it in solidarity with Leonard Peltier. We’re asking President Joe Biden for Executive Clemency. We will keep coming back to the White House and we’ll be pressuring all parts of the government until we see justice for Leonard Peltier and see him come back with his family, community and people.” - @Nick Tilsen, President and CEO of NDN Collective.

Sadly not an international petition, but I can spread the word at least.

Leonard Peltier, Prison Writings. My Life Is My Sun Dance, Edited by Harvey Arden, Introduction by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Preface by Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, St. Martin's Press, New York, NY, 1999
Doing time creates a
demented darkness of my
own imagination…
Doing time does this thing
to you. But, of course, you
don’t do time.
You do without it. Or
rather, time does you.
Time is a cannibal that
devours the flesh of your
years
day by day, bite by bite.

Taos, NM had the coolest t-shirt shop. I miss that place.
Goyaałé, or Geronimo, waged asymmetrical warfare against the Mexican and US governments for 20-30 years. He finally surrendered near Fort Bowie AZ in 1886.

“Peltier, 77, has been in prison for 46 years without any evidence that he committed a crime and after a trial that was riddled with misconduct.”
