(156 posts)4. That's indeed a bright spot in a dark week
With the Orange Menace issuing so many reprehensible and at least two unconstitutional executive orders in that flurry of activity.
But for Leonard, this is a great relief. Now he can spend his last years with his best friends and allies.
I was thinking if his sentence was going to be commuted, the other news developments would overwhelm it, but those of us who hoped it would happen would find out.

In 1992, Robert Redford narrated a documentary called Incident at Oglala about Peltier.
There has been a long time since that documentary.
Thank Biden did the right thing.
