With that context, 4 months and $800 doesn't feel like enough
The White House said those granted clemency received disproportionately longer sentences than they would have under current laws and policies.
In a statement, Mr. Biden said those receiving clemency have shown “they are deserving of forgiveness and the chance at building a brighter future for themselves beyond prison walls.”
All told, Mr. Biden pardoned 11 individuals and commuted the sentences of five others, saying the move reflects his commitment to “addressing racial disparities and improving public safety.”
Oooh I like this version!
Thank you. Lemmy is a very unique kind of echo chamber, and I often seem to say things that aren't exactly the "right" opinion.
On the one hand: yes. Fuck Russia, they initiated this conflict, and retaliation against your aggressors should be at least proportional if not moreso.
On the other hand: I have a lot of trepidation about escalations of conflict. WWIII feels very possible with the current instability between Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine, and every increase in violence edges us closer. I don't think we're at the same risk level as we were at the height of the cold war, but we're close.
The question is how do we minimize loss of life while maximizing justice. The first consideration is objective, the second is subjective. I don't have a good answer, and I don't know how allowing Ukraine to show full force will impact either. War sucks
What a weird hill to die on
Like I said, they just hate AI here. It's pretty amusing

Edit: sorry, about children as young as 5. Again, don't be fucking weird and say you're surprised there isn't porn about it.
