RIP Robbie Robertson. A good friend and a genius. The Band’s music shocked the excess out of the Renaissance and were an essential part of the final back-to-the-roots trend of ‘60s. He was an underrated brilliant guitar player adding greatly to Bob Dylan’s best tour & best album.

“You’ve become complicit in this injustice for Indian Country,” charged Fawn Sharp, president of the National Congress of American Indians. huffpost.com/entry/leonard-… via HuffPost Politics

They not only helped defeat an enemy on the battlefield, during World War II, but protected a sacred language and culture. We will never forget their contributions and sacrifice. We owe an incredible debt of gratitude to these heroes on National Navajo Code Talkers Day.

Remember Leonard Peltier? The Indigenous rights activist who the U.S. govt put in prison ~50 yrs ago after a trial full of misconduct, lies and racism? He turns 79 on Sept. 12. Amnesty Intl + other groups will be outside the White House urging Biden to finally release him.

Arrived in Washington D.C to mobilize ⁦The White House⁩ and demand the ⁦President Donald J. Trump⁩ Free Leonard Peltier! It’s been 48 years! #FreePeltier

Couple hundred Indigenous rights advocates outside the WH right now protesting Biden's inaction on freeing Leonard Peltier. "Our relative is celebrating his 79th bday today. He deserves to be with his family."

"...as a lawyer & former federal judge who has tried dozens & dozens of criminal cases...it didn't take me long to become shocked at what I was seeing, the level of constitutional violations, the level of misconduct by the U.S. government..." -Kevin H. Sharp

NEW: More Democrats and now a Republican (!) in Congress today called on President Biden to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing 79-year-old Native American rights activist who has been in prison for nearly 50 years. huffpost.com/entry/leonard-…

Leonard Peltier. Our Native American political prisoner. Still in jail after 47 years with every bit of evidence that convicted him being proven to be false. The most profound ongoing embarrassment of our justice system.

As Joe Biden’s presidency enters its final days, NCAI urgently reiterates its decades-long call for immediate executive clemency for Leonard Peltier. His conviction is marred by documented government misconduct, including fraudulent extradition, false testimony... (1/7)

Make no mistake about it. NDN Collective along with Robert Gifford and Kevin H. Sharp did the most amazing job. It’s an honor to have worked with them on this. VICTORY!! Preston Randolph Tom Morello 🇺🇸🕉🇺🇦🟦Stevie Van Zandt☮️💙
