LEONARD PELTIER YA ESTÁ EN CASA!

Después de casi 50 años encarcelado por EE. UU., Leonard Peltier ya no está tras las rejas de una prisión federal. Pero las preguntas sobre su caso siguen vivas.
Su lucha siempre ha ido de la mano con la resistencia indígena y la soberanía de los pueblos originarios. A pesar de la represión histórica, la manipulación de evidencia y la postura del FBI, Peltier jamás dejó de luchar ni de mantener su dignidad.
Como puertorriqueños, esta historia la conocemos de más.
Nuestra propia patria ha parido presos políticos, nacionalistas e independentistas criminalizados por enfrentarse al colonialismo yanqui. Esa misma historia nos obliga a reconocer y dar la cara por los pueblos que luchan por su identidad, su soberanía y su libertad.
Nos plantamos firmes con los pueblos indígenas y su derecho a la autodeterminación. Nos oponemos a la represión política y al uso de la cárcel para callar a los que luchan.
La decisión de Biden en el 2025 fue una conmutación de pena, no un perdón. La convicción sigue ahí, pero después de medio siglo, Peltier al fin está en su hogar bajo confinamiento domiciliario.

La puerta de la celda se abrió.
La historia se queda.
La lucha sigue.

¡Viva Leonard Peltier!
¡Viva la lucha de los pueblos indígenas!
¡Viva Puerto Rico Libre!

LEONARD PELTIER IS HOME!

For nearly 50 years, Leonard Peltier was imprisoned by the United States.

Today, he is no longer behind the walls of a federal prison - but the questions surrounding his imprisonment remain.

Peltier's case has always been inseparable from the history of Indigenous resistance and the struggle for Native sovereignty.

He was a member of the American Indian Movement during a period of extraordinary repression on Pine Ridge. He was convicted following a separate trial after two other men prosecuted in connection with the deaths of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams were acquitted on self-defense grounds. Serious questions have persisted for decades regarding evidence, witness testimony and prosecutorial conduct. Amnesty International has repeatedly raised concerns about the fairness of his conviction.

The FBI continues to maintain that Peltier was responsible for the agents' deaths. Peltier has consistently denied firing the fatal shots. That conflict in the historical record cannot simply be wished away.

But there is another part of this history that cannot be ignored:

Indigenous sovereignty.
Colonialism.
Political repression.
The destruction of culture.
The criminalization of resistance.
And the use of imprisonment as an instrument of political power.

As Puerto Ricans, we understand these questions.

Our own history contains political prisoners, prisoners of conscience, nationalists, independence advocates and generations of people criminalized because they challenged U.S. colonial rule over our nation.

That history gives us a particular responsibility to recognize the struggles of other peoples fighting to preserve their identity, sovereignty and dignity.

We stand with Indigenous peoples in their continuing struggle for self-determination.

We stand against political repression.

We stand against the use of the prison system to silence movements for liberation.

And we recognize Leonard Peltier's return home as an important moment in the long history of Indigenous resistance.

President Biden's 2025 action was a commutation, not a pardon. Leonard Peltier's conviction remains. But after nearly half a century, he is home under federal home confinement.

The prison door opened.

The history remains.

The struggle continues.

¡Viva Leonard Peltier!

Please read, reflect, and do something, say something, and take control of your narrative!
Please share!

163 CHILDREN. THREE MEN. AND A QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK.

I have been sitting with this story because, as a Puerto Rican, Latinx, culturally bilingual organizer and advocate, I understand exactly how narratives get constructed—and who gets placed at the center of them.

Florida law enforcement recently announced that 163 missing children, ranging in age from 2 months to 17 years old, were recovered during Operation Statewide Shield, a five-day statewide operation.

The children were located not only throughout Florida, but across six other states, Puerto Rico and 12 countries.

Many of these children had experienced abuse, neglect, exploitation or exposure to criminal activity, including human trafficking.

And three men were arrested in separate cases connected to the operation.

Their publicly released booking photographs are available. They appear to be White men, and they have been widely identified and discussed that way in subsequent reporting and social-media conversations.

So I have a question:

WHY ISN'T THIS STORY BIGGER?

Where is the sustained national coverage?

Where are the cable news panels?

Where are the politicians who routinely invoke “human trafficking” when the alleged perpetrators are immigrants?

Where is the outrage?

And perhaps most importantly:

Would this story be framed differently if these suspects were Latino immigrants, undocumented immigrants, Black men, Muslims, or people from another marginalized community?

I ask that question from a particular place.

I am Puerto Rican (1st gen Bx, NYC, born).

Spanish is my first language.

I am culturally bilingual and have spent my WHOLE life working with and advocating alongside Spanish-speaking communities (starting with/on behalf of my Mom), including many people labeled “undocumented.”

I have two undergraduate degrees (CUNY), including deep academic study of Latin American and Puerto Rican history and studies - over four decades.

I've been blessed to help lead, as President of the Florida Junta of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, Movimiento Libertador. I've been a Boricua, son of Don Pedro Albizu Campos, Nationalist since 1993 when I picked up his writings.

I've spent two decades doing national advocacy, organizing, training, and policy work.

I worked for more than five years with a national Latinx civil-rights organization as a non-attorney advocate. This labor of love took me from FL>GA>NY>VA>TX>DC...with Unlock The Box and NRCAT Philadelphia>San Francisco, Cali>part of a 26 strong state coalition; with JLUSA it was Alabama, NJ, Washington State, Indiana, Detroit MI, San Diego, CA, and a few others escaping me, Lol.

I spent 14 years working in live radio and media communications.

I have worked directly with people impacted by incarceration, immigration enforcement, poverty, racism and systems of oppression.

So I understand something about narrative.

I understand how easily an individual case becomes a justification for condemning an entire community when the person accused fits a familiar racial, ethnic or religious stereotype.

We have seen it over and over:

An immigrant commits a crime → immigrants become the story.

A Muslim commits a crime → Islam becomes the story.

A Black man is accused → Black men and “crime” become the story.

A Latino is accused → Latinos and immigration become the story.

But when the people pictured in the story appear to be White?

Suddenly, perhaps, we talk about the individual.

That's the double standard I am questioning.

And let me be clear:

I am NOT saying every White person is responsible for the actions of these three men.

I am NOT saying these three men collectively kidnapped or trafficked 163 children. They did not. The three arrests involve separate cases arising during the broader operation.

And I am NOT claiming that the lack of national coverage has been proven to be caused by race.

I am asking why.

Because media framing matters.

Who gets named?

Who gets generalized?

Who gets humanized?

Who gets criminalized?

Who gets portrayed as an individual?

And who gets turned into a threat to an entire race, religion, nationality or immigrant community?

For those of us who are directly impacted by these narratives, we cannot simply allow other people to tell our stories for us.

We have to participate in the narrative.

We have to write the posts.

Write the articles.

Write the op-eds.

Speak to the media.

Challenge the framing.

Bring history, culture and lived experience into the conversation.

And we have to do it without abandoning facts or allowing misinformation to become our weapon.

Because the children are bigger than the politics.

163 children were missing.
163 children were found.
Children experienced abuse, neglect and exploitation.
Investigations are continuing.

Every one of those children deserves our attention.

But so does the question of whose crimes become national spectacles—and whose crimes are allowed to remain individual stories.

I'm asking the media.

I'm asking elected officials.

I'm asking journalists.

I'm asking advocates.

And I'm asking all of us:

Why isn't this story receiving the level of national attention we would expect for 163 missing children?

And if the answer isn't race—

then let's examine the coverage and tell us what the answer is.

Because when marginalized communities are repeatedly made into the narrative, we have a responsibility to frame our own stories, speak in our own voices, and challenge the double standards when we see them.

The children deserve justice.
The truth deserves context.
And our communities deserve a fair narrative.

Body Cameras Won't Fix ICE. Abolish ICE.

The fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine is yet another example of why "reforms" are not the answer.

According to reporting by The Intercept and other news outlets, ICE agents involved in the shooting were reportedly wearing body cameras, but the cameras were not activated and did not record the encounter. In response, DHS and ICE officials are once again promising more body cameras, more training, and more oversight.

We've heard this before.

Body cameras were supposed to end police violence. Body cameras were supposed to create transparency. Body cameras were supposed to bring accountability.
Yet people continue to be killed.

A camera does not stop a bullet.
A camera does not change racist or dehumanizing training.
A camera does not dismantle white supremacy.
A camera does not transform an agency whose purpose is detention, deportation, and family separation.

The problem is not the lack of video evidence. The problem is the system itself.

When a system repeatedly produces death, terror, abuse, and impunity, adding another reform only makes the system appear more legitimate while the violence continues. The answer is not better surveillance of ICE agents. The answer is ending the violence at its source.

If law enforcement officers kill people unlawfully, there must be real accountability: termination, criminal prosecution when warranted, and civil liability - NOT to their tax-payer, to the "Killer Cop". Taxpayers should not continually bear the cost while institutions protect those responsible.

For decades, we have been told to wait for the next reform. More training. More oversight. More cameras. More commissions. More investigations. Bigger budget!?

Meanwhile, families continue to bury their loved ones. Meanwhile innocent human beings are being murdered- Lynched! USA Chattel-Slavery Lynchings "by Another name."

We don't need a better ICE.
We need to abolish ICE.

ICE Is Out of Control. Here’s What to Do About It.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/opinion/ice-killing-maine-houston-guerrero-araujo.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

“The Department of Homeland Security and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency have continued to deploy tactics long known to be dangerous and reckless, even after those tactics produced tragic results. Federal agents have aggressively pursued people in their cars, sometimes by boxing them in, ramming them or forcing them off the road. They’ve put themselves in front of moving vehicles. They’ve masked themselves and made traffic stops in unmarked vehicles. And they’ve fired their weapons into moving cars.”
