Aw so nice
my heart truly goes out to the young black men who see their loved ones in and out of prison
it definitely "normalizes" it. and that's so dangerous
like going to prison and having run-ins with police is part of everyday life
and once they get in trouble for something, they're labeled. especially if it's a felony
then they have issues finding good jobs, which means being tempted to find alternative ways to make more money.
what he's saying - this cycle he's speaking to, is so real.
i've seen it happen so many times in the hood
and it's just one of the reasons i feel that hetero black men need support, understanding and protection sometimes too.

i just looked into the details
and this is really gonna help people who were locked up for dumb shit like weed possession.
its honestly crazy to know so many lives were ruined by a drug thats now becoming legal/non-criminal across the country
and the sad part is that what was done years ago to those people who are much much older now - just can't be undone.
but this gives hope to the newer generations
meanwhile, a highly intoxicating substance like alcohol has been sold with no issues this entire time.
even as things like death by DUI remained a real problem
it really shows how much power the government has in demonizing and un-demonizing something.
regardless of its actual potential for danger
QuoteThe other bill allows courts to seal records of non-violent drug felonies with a minimum sentence of under 2 1/2 years in prison and or a maximum sentence of under five years.
Under the state's existing Clean Slate law, it also allows the sealing of certain nonviolent felonies for those who are conviction-free for 10 years and reduces the waiting period for automated sealing of misdemeanors to seven years, rather than 10 years.
Both bills emerged as part of a nationwide reconsideration of the criminal justice system, to help people leaving incarceration resume their lives and find jobs more easily.

Meek might be a disgusting person and he's an abuser but this is the first time I've felt anything for him. No excuse for his actions but it really shows how much these "thugs" are genuinely broken.
This actually is very nice
