‘Stand With Us Again’: 120 Tribal Leaders Urge Biden To Release Leonard Peltier

Monday, 13 January 2025 23:22

With just one week left in Joe Biden’s presidency, more than 120 tribal leaders on Monday urged him to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing Native American rights activist who has been in prison for nearly 50 years after a trial riddled with misconduct and a broken parole process.

“Mr. President, we honor your demonstrated commitment to Indian Country. You have stood with us many times – both in the White House and in the U.S. Senate,” reads their letter. “Our standing in the world as a champion of freedom, justice, and human rights cannot be maintained in a system that allows Leonard Peltier to die in prison.”

A number of prominent tribal leaders are on the letter, including Frank Star Comes Out, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota; Nick Tilsen, founder and CEO of NDN Collective, an Indigenous-led advocacy group; Mark Macarro, president of the National Congress of American Indians and tribal chair of the Pechanga Band of Indians in California; and Deborah Parker, executive director of the Native American Boarding School Coalition.

Biden extends temporary protections for more than 800,000 immigrants

Biden extends temporary protection to some immigrants

The Biden administration on Friday extended temporary humanitarian protections for about 230,000 Salvadorans and 600,000 Venezuelans living in the US, in an effort to shield those groups from an incoming Trump administration that has promised to deport them.

The decision in the dying days of Joe Biden’s presidency came after immigrant advocates and lawmakers urged the Department of Homeland Security to extend temporary protected status (TPS), designed to protect immigrants from being deported to countries that are engulfed in disaster or conflict.

DHS cited environmental conditions in El Salvador – which in recent times has been hit by a series of extreme weather events – which “prevent individuals from returning” to the country. The agency extended protections for Venezuelans “based on the severe humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crises”, the department said.

Meta terminates its DEI programs days before Trump inauguration

Friday, 10 January 2025 20:31

Following a week in which Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta was getting rid of factchecking, as of Friday the company is also terminating its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, effective immediately.

An internal memo from Meta acknowledged that “the legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing”, while pointing to recent supreme court decisions and the “charged” view some have of DEI as a concept. Axios and Business Insider first reported the memo. While Meta confirmed to the Guardian the company is ending its DEI practices, the company did not respond to a request for a comment about how the decision aligns with its overarching goals.

DoJ releases its Tulsa race massacre report over 100 years after initial review

Friday, 10 January 2025 20:05

On Friday, the Department of Justice (DoJ) released its report on the Tulsa race massacre after announcing the review last September.

The report came more than 100 years after a June 1921 report by the justice department’s Bureau of Investigation, a precursor to the FBI, blamed the massacre on Black men and alleged that perpetrators did not violate any federal laws.

The Friday DoJ report, however, acknowledged that the attack by white citizens on Black residents “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”.

“The Tulsa race massacre stands out as a civil rights crime unique in its magnitude, barbarity, racist hostility and its utter annihilation of a thriving Black community,” Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general of the DoJ’s civil rights division, said in a statement. “In 1921, white Tulsans murdered hundreds of residents of Greenwood, burned their homes and churches, looted their belongings, and locked the survivors in internment camps.”

Gaza Doctor’s Kidnapping Underscores Israel’s Pattern Of Targeting Health Care

Thursday, 09 January 2025 21:06

As the Israeli military continues to block access to a high-profile Palestinian doctor they kidnapped last month, medical workers and aid groups say that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s ongoing detention and the lack of transparency around it underscores Israel’s larger campaign of systematically destroying Gaza’s health care system.

Israeli forces kidnapped Abu Safiya on Dec. 27 during an attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital. According to the World Health Organization, it was one of dozens of attacks in a monthslong bombardment that has subjected hundreds of patients and health care workers to forced evacuations, detentions and sometimes death inside what was effectively the last functioning hospital in walled-off North Gaza.

Federal judge strikes down Biden Title IX rules

Thursday, 09 January 2025 18:12

Judge Reeves A federal judge in Kentucky struck down changes made to Title IX by the Biden administration Thursday, ruling that the new regulations, which had sought to expand nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ students, violate the Constitution.

The Education Department unveiled a final set of sweeping changes to Title IX, the federal civil rights law preventing sex discrimination in schools and education programs that receive government funding, in April, including modifying what the law considers sex discrimination to include discrimination linked to gender identity and sexuality.

More than a dozen Republican-led states sued the Biden administration over the changes, which they argued undermined the landmark law’s original intent of guaranteeing equal opportunities for men and women. Federal courts had already halted the rule from taking effect in 26 states.
