The main allegations in the report are:
- The unprecedented scale and magnitude of the military offensive, which has caused death and destruction at a speed and level unmatched in any other 21st-century conflict;
- Intent to destroy, after considering and discounting arguments such as Israeli recklessness and callous disregard for civilian life in the pursuit of Hamas;
- Killing and causing serious bodily or mental harm in repeated direct attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, or deliberately indiscriminate attacks; and
- Inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, such as destroying medical infrastructure, the obstruction of aid, and repeated use of arbitrary and sweeping “evacuation orders” for 90% of the population to unsuitable areas.
I had fun with it. I haven't finished all the bonus bosses after beating the game. The graphics were well done and the game play was as enjoyable as ever. They added some new super moves which was cool.
This was one of my first games as a kid and was a defining experience for my childhood. I've replayed the original a lot over the years.
The remake did not disappoint. Highly recommend. =D
Also the Super Mario Guy RPG series. From what I recall they didn't finish. But, what they did finish was really well done. The Family Guy voices are spot on. And it's really funny.
Oh and the puzzles in Bowser's Castle are now playable. Like, the ball clearing puzzle is actually a lot of fun when the inputs work.
Looks like it.

“While cannabis is now legal in Minnesota and many states across America, thousands remain behind bars in federal prisons for the same substance – a reminder of the work still ahead,” Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, said on the Capitol steps on November 20. “President Biden still has time to build on his initial pardons and take decisive action. He can extend clemency to every person still serving time for federal cannabis offenses, many of whom have already spent decades behind bars. In Minnesota, we've shown that cannabis legalization and expungement can move hand in hand. Now it's time for federal action to match this progress.”
That's a quote from representative Ilhan Omar, not LPP. Regardless, it's evident that she meant people who are in federal prison for cannabis offenses only. She was not referring to the intersection of people with cannabis offenses and every other possible crime.
The phrases "While cannabis is now legal in Minnesota and many states across America, thousands remain behind bars in federal prisons for the same substance" and "cannabis legalization and expungement can move hand in hand" make it clear what she meant.
No one can seriously look at this and reasonably conclude she meant something like serial killers who were also convicted of cannabis offenses. That's not a position anyone is taking. That's a bizarre interpretation given what was explicitly said.
Or he could gather double the amount of lawyers and they could all sleep at night. Either way.
If you release every single person with cannabis related offense
the president’s clemency actions did not address the approximately 3,000 individuals serving time in federal prisons for cannabis related offenses.
These are the not the same statements. No one is arguing for releasing every single person with cannabis offenses no matter what other crime they also committed. These are people with cannabis related offenses and nothing else.
It's clear because they specified a number, 3000. Your argument isn't being critical because it doesn't address what they actually wrote.
The quoted section in particular is referring to people with cannabis related offenses. It doesn't say anything about releasing people with more serious offenses in addition to cannabis related offenses.
That isn't nuance it's just putting words in their mouth.
You realize the money printing department and the releasing people from prison department aren’t the same, right?
I'm trying to guess what your reason for thinking the US can't do something is because you wont say.
Having a lot of people and having a lot of people qualified to individually examine 135k federal cases are two different things.
There are plenty of qualified people.
You say it can be done, I disagree. It doesn’t seem like there’s much more to be said.
Why do you disagree?
Regardless, in case you didn't know, the US can do this. There is no reason we can't and your argument doesn't provide any. edit: typo
Something about their wording kind of turns me off.
Is your argument that their tone is wrong?
Despite these actions, the Last Prisoner Project (LPP) notes in a statement that Biden “has yet to release a single person still incarcerated for cannabis through commutation.” Although the pardons granted relief to thousands of people with a conviction on their records, the president’s clemency actions did not address the approximately 3,000 individuals serving time in federal prisons for cannabis related offenses.
Ask more of your leaders. He in fact does owe us. We live in a democracy.
Be dissatisfied with corruption and nepotism. Otherwise that is all we will get. And we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.
You think the US government can't do that if they want to? We have the technology. And the man power. And the ability to print money. What is the hold up?
Do as many as you can. But the US is capable of doing that with the time left. We're choosing not to.
It's not impossible, but it would be interesting to know why you think that.
The article was about what Hakeem Jeffries thinks Biden should do.
Presumably they were working on most of those pardons before they were issued. However I think actions presidents do at the end of their presidency get more attention. It seems like there have been lots of pardons and they don't all take place at the end of presidencies.

He should definitely do more.
It's been clear since Pelosi and other Democrats were caught insider trading that most contemporary politicians are self-serving. The distinction we should care about is that for Republicans the cruelty is the point. Where as democrats at least make an effort to make things better even if it's incremental.
Pardons would be an incremental change to a systemic problem that, while insufficient, should be well within the Democrats wheelhouse and not unwelcome.
Democrats need to stop caring about taking the moral high road and start caring about using power to help people. They can't be bothered to see the former through to the end so they might as well do the latter. The core message of Biden's 2020 campaign was a battle for the soul of our nation. Thankfully souls aren't real because Biden lost that battle hard. edit: typos

Doesn't seem to federate. I've posted, waited, deleted and reposted multiple times. I've checked lemmy.world and beehaw and it never showed up. The original got one upvote so someone on Blahaj could see it. I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before and how it was fixed.
Other comments and posts I've been doing have been federating, but specifically not this one. They usually take less than a minute maybe a couple more to federate. Since it wouldn't show on two different instances, after waiting, I would assume it has something to do with our instance, but it could just be a me problem.
I would appreciate it if someone else could try. Thank you.
