🦃👨‍👦 This week, President Biden pardoned two turkeys and his son Hunter, letting them go free from punishment. 😮 But many people are upset because he won’t free Leonard Peltier, a Native American leader who has been in prison for 50 years! 🎖️🏹 While rich and powerful people often get pardoned, Native Americans continue fighting for fair treatment. ✊ They showed their strength by gathering at Alcatraz Island to remember their history and demand justice. 🌅📜

  • 🔑 Biden pardoned turkeys and his son while ignoring Indigenous leader Leonard Peltier’s 50-year imprisonment
  • 🏹 Indigenous communities continue fighting for justice through peaceful gatherings like the Alcatraz ceremony
  • ⚠️ Trump’s potential self-pardon could signal growing authoritarianism
  • 🗽 America’s pardon system reveals deep inequities in the justice system
  • 🌵 Indigenous resistance remains strong despite ongoing colonial patterns

By Maextro Morales

Hermanos y hermanas, another week passes in our beautiful desert city of Tucson, where the saguaros stand tall like ancestral witnesses to the ongoing saga of colonial justice in these United States.
