    "comment": "This song is focused on Leonard Peltier, whose story is told in the music video. Peltier is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement (AIM) who lived on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. In 1977 he was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of two FBI agents in a shootout when the agents came to the reservation in 1975 to execute arrest warrants. Peltier maintained his innocence but was sentenced to two life terms in prison. Rage Against The Machine pushed to free him via a pardon. The song was released months before Bill Clinton was sworn in as president, but Clinton never took action on the case. In 2025, in one of his final acts in office, Joe Biden commuted the sentence of Peltier, who was 80 years old.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_vQt_v8Jmw",
