It saddens me it took this long, but Leonard Peltier is finally free!

      He’s one of the longest held political prisoners in the US, arrested officially for killing 2 feds that shot at a truck he was in. There’s a good chance he wasn’t even there based on alibis, and evidence since his trial have been recanted and invalidated but the sentencing was never overturned. His real crime was being a leader of AIM

    It’s a damn crime that this doesn’t have 200 upvotes by now.

    Fuckin’ sing, man. It’s a good thing.

      I genuinely think most people are unfamiliar with AIM and the absolutely disastrous raid. But I’m right with you in celebrating his freedom.

    I missed this among the others and it’s extremely overdo but I’m glad he’s finally getting some relief.
