Biden Should Grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier Now: Leonard Peltier is a 77-year-old Anishinabe-Lakota Native American activist imprisoned for 46 years for a crime he says he did not commit. Amnesty International calls him a political prisoner.
Leonard Peltier recently wrote. “No phone, no window, no fresh air — no humans to gather — no loved one’s voice. No relief. Left alone and without attention is like a torture chamber for the sick and old.”

Alberta’s response to Coutts blockade proof of discriminatory double standard, First Nations say. When rail lines were blocked in 2020, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney drafted a new law in response, but it hasn’t been used at the Coutts barricade. That leaves First Nations leaders ringing alarm bells, again, about racism in protest policing https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://thenarwhal.ca/coutts-border-blockade/__;!!On18fmf1aQ!modD5ovzOfbCOCkWXjx8yvdBZ2QejKh-DRI8wbSduc7R2HLS1tnaJZtFPfYn5e0a2-5B$
Journalists across the country covering these blockades have been subject to threats, intimidation and harassment. The Narwhal stands with the Canadian Association of Journalists in denouncing these attacks.

‘She looks like a baby:’ Why are 5-year-olds being arrested at school?
It seems inconceivable: Educators calling cops on elementary school kids for typical child behavior, from temper tantrums to stealing crayons. A USA TODAY analysis of federal crime reports, part of our Criminalizing Kids partnership, identified more than 2,600 arrests in schools involving kids ages 5 to 9 between 2000 and 2019. It’s almost certainly a vast undercount.

How a rare college course on critical race theory changed the mind of a conservative law student. Critical race theory had become a flashpoint of national politics in 2021 as conservative media latched onto the term, deeming it “hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American.” In speeches, both House Speaker Philip Gunn and Gov. Tate Reeves had vowed to ban the theory from being taught in schools.

Hogue’s boyfriend killed her son while Hogue was at work.
