Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Hopefully this means they're going to release everyone that's currently doing time for possession of marijuana in the state of New York

It's really good news but kinda fucked up to get this "whoops! My bad lolz" tea after so many black lives were destroyed behind enforcement of laws that were in existence 

crazy that it was perfectly legal to buy alcohol by the caseload but weed was completely demonized

That was my first thought

I can see this helping a few cases but I don't think it's a 100% sure thing cuz they can always say "well u knew it was illegal THEN and u still decided to do it  :unsure: "

I doubt prison doors are about to fly open but I do see a lot of lawyers making BANK over the next few weeks trying to pry them open for these men, or even taking cases left and right pro Bono  .

Hope they get out. Ridiculous

!!!! That I'll never forgive them for (among so many other atrocities) but they knew what they were doing. The "war on drugs" and the liquor stores on every damn corner in the 80'e tells you all you need to know. People thrown in prison for 20 + years. Can you imagine?

mess.

Our knight in shining armor Biden is not here for legalizing it in a federal level

He basically says he's standing in his mess on the topic:  Willing to entertain the idea of it being decriminalized, but is not budging on his stance on making it fully legal . Which would still leave room for people to be punished for using.
