Native America Calling - Tuesday, January 21, 2025 — Leonard Peltier: “I’m going home”

Leonard Peltier will spend the remainder of his prison sentence at home after the 11th-hour action by President Joe Biden. Friends, family and supporters expressed surprise and relief as they heard the news Monday. National Congress of American Indians President Mark Macarro said Biden’s decision comes after "50 years of unjust imprisonment," and is a powerful act of compassion and an important step toward healing.” In December, Macarro personally asked Biden to take action on Peltier's behalf. Among the many advocates for Peltier's release over the past five decades include South African President Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights. We'll hear from Peltier's family and others who have followed his case about what this action means for him and how it will be viewed historically.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S10 E16: Mihri Minaz, Beams

Mihri Minaz is originally from Turkey, and has 4 siblings in different industries. Being good at math and problem solving, he was drawn go study computer engineering, and eventually was in the industry for a while before starting her current venture. Upon reflection, she feels it was supernatural for her to live in Turkey, be a woman, and end up in software. Eventually, she moved to Berlin and continued to be a unique case in the industry. Outside of tech, she enjoys watching art movies and shows, like Turin Horse or Fargo. She is learning piano, but travels so much for work, she has picked up DJ'ing, cause she can't bring a piano with her.

In the past, Mihri's experienced problems with her team, as far as measuring and optimizing productivity. This was related to the different number of tools used, along with the lack of a unified view of these tools. She and her co-founder clicked on this problem, and decided to build a solution.

This is the creation story of Beams.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Did Democracy Die in Darkness?

Yesterday, he appeared in the front row at Trump’s second inauguration. The paper’s hemorrhaging subscribers—and laying off dozens of staff members—but it seems like the internal unrest has just begun.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day Promises and Biden Pardons

In today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson assess the promises made by President Donald Trump in his inauguration speech, from combatting DEI to securing the border, and the messages between the lines.

“Here's my point: Trump was blunt, maybe even crude. He said he was going to eventually — we would have the Panama Canal. He was going to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the ‘Gulf of America,’and people were kind of hysterical, in their reactions. But it's the way he said it and his directness and his candor and his honesty that bothered them.”

“It reminded me of the great seal of the United States, “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” a new order for the ages or for the centuries. That comes from Virgil's Eclogues, the great Latin poet, when he was talking about the birth of a new Roman generation—in particular descendants of Augustus—that would change Rome forever. And our founders in 1776 put it on the seal. And you see it emblazoned on the $1 bill. And that's the type of mood he's trying to encourage.”
