Was a single person he pardoned even still serving their sentence?

Nope

No one was freed from prison under last year’s action, but the pardons were meant to help thousands overcome obstacles to renting a home or finding a job. Similarly, no federal prisoners are eligible for release as a result of Friday’s pardon.

But the order expands the grounds on which pardons are issued. In the last round, people were pardoned for simple possession under only one criminal statute. Friday’s pardons also apply to several other criminal statutes, including attempted simple possession.

The pardon also does not apply to those in the U.S. unlawfully at the time of their offense.

Even in a pardon that releases no one and is simply a discharge of crime for background checking purposes, they're STILL needlessly cruel to 'migrants' (thanks for that EO banning the use of 'alien' in official government docs though, good job asshole)

Biden stay doing nothing. I'm sure this has nothing to do with his flagging poll numbers, and can we talk about that? Like, this fuck is going down with the ship by all accounts, and he STILL can't bring himself to do ANYTHING significant and good? Just running guns to Israel in the midst of their ethnic cleansing? This absolute fuckstick refuses to do anything great even when he's already gonna get shotput out a window?

ed, y'all gotta read this lmao

Biden’s proclamation effectively pardons the covered people, but they will need to submit applications to the Justice Department’s pardon attorney office to receive certificates of pardon that can be used for housing and employment purposes.

Do the paperwork for it yourself assholes lmao

Biden on Friday reiterated his call on governors and local leaders to take similar steps to erase marijuana convictions.

“Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely due to the use or possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either,” Biden said.

Issues pardon that releases no one, talks about how no one should be in prison like he fuckin released half the prison pop, rescheduled the drugs, and rewrote the laws
