FWD.us Applauds President Biden’s Historic Commutations for People Serving Outdated Prison Terms
WASHINGTON, D.C. – FWD.us Executive Director Zoë Towns issued the following statement today after President Biden’s latest historic commutations:
“These final clemency actions will forever define President Biden’s legacy on justice.
“Too often, our criminal justice reforms only apply to the law going forward, leaving behind the very people and injustices that moved us to change. For example, we reached consensus long ago that the crack/powder cocaine sentencing disparity could not be defended on public health or public safety grounds and that it fueled already stark racial disparities. Yet many are still incarcerated on sentences that could not be handed down today.
“We’re grateful for President Biden’s final acts of leadership in delivering relief, justice, and mercy to thousands and, importantly, calling attention to the harms of extreme sentencing and the benefits of reform.”

FWD.us, a bipartisan political advocacy group focused on immigration and criminal justice reform, is celebrating President Biden’s recent decision to commute the sentences of individuals serving outdated prison terms.In a statement released today, FWD.us praised President Biden for taking a bold step towards addressing the injustices of the criminal justice system and giving hope to those who have been disproportionately affected by harsh sentencing laws.
“These commutations are a critical first step towards righting the wrongs of our broken criminal justice system,” said FWD.us President, in the statement. “We applaud President Biden for his commitment to reform and for recognizing the humanity of those who have been needlessly incarcerated for far too long.”
FWD.us also emphasized the need for further action to address systemic issues within the criminal justice system, including mandatory minimum sentencing laws, racial disparities in sentencing, and the need for rehabilitation and reentry resources for those reentering society.
As we celebrate these historic commutations, let us also continue to advocate for meaningful criminal justice reform that prioritizes fairness, equity, and compassion for all individuals impacted by the system.

A woman has urged for the return of a millennial hair staple, the side part, sparking a lively discussion online.
Alexis Cushman (@lexicushmann), 20. from Florida, shared a video of herself styling her hair to the side, which garnered over 1.3 million likes and more than 10.8 million views on the app.
“I think the side part went out of style and was more in style earlier in the 2000s,” Cushman said in the clip. “I think a lot of people have moved to the middle part lately and I always see people with side parts being told to switch to a middle part to follow the trend.
“I love when people play with their hair and flip it around; it gives more volume and body to the hair, and I think it looks great on everyone!” Cushman told Newsweek.
Alexis Cushman addresses the camera. The social-media influencer told Newsweek why she has called for the return of the once-extremely popular hairstyle.

Side parts have long been a defining hairstyle, particularly popular among millennials during the early 2000s. Known for their ability to soften facial features and create a polished look, side parts gained widespread appeal through their association with celebrities and iconic styles of the time.
“Can we bring back side parts? I’m sick of everyone acting like they’re weird,” Cushman wrote as the text overlaying the video.
The side part’s popularity began to wane in recent years as younger generations, particularly on TikTok, championed the middle part. Many Gen Z users have deemed side parts outdated, with some claiming they make a person look older or less stylish. The shift to middle parts has been tied to the platform’s influence in reshaping beauty norms.
However, recent fashion and beauty trends suggest the side part may be making a comeback. Designers and hairstylists have begun embracing the look once more, with runway shows and celebrity appearances featuring updated takes on the classic side part.
The social-media reaction to Lexi’s video was divided, with some users critiquing her attempt at a side part.
“Sooo close that right there is a middle part flipped over not side part but actual side parts are very rarely cute unless it has a ton of volume and rlly [really] done up and curled,” posted one viewer.
“This is more of a middle part with a hair flip not a side part,” commented Naomi.
“When I say this discourse is ONLY online … I’ve never changed to fit trends and no one has ever said a word to me and I get compliments on my style all the time,” added Sydney.
“Literally who says they [are] weird people still do side parts,” wrote Amyah.
Many users said: “Do what you want.”
“I still see negative comments surrounding the side part and think it should make a comeback this year! Because of the negative comments on the side part still, I just made a little video saying let’s bring it back! It’s cute and fun!” Cushman concluded.

Gen Z has spoken, and they want the return of a beloved millennial staple: the humble CD player. In a recent social media campaign, members of Gen Z have been pleading for the revival of the outdated technology, citing nostalgia and a desire to disconnect from the digital world.The campaign, which has gained traction on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, has sparked a wave of support from millennials and even some older generations who fondly remember the days of burning mix CDs and carefully organizing their music collections.
Many users have expressed frustration with the streaming services and the constant connectivity that comes with digital music consumption. They long for the simplicity and tactile experience of popping in a CD, flipping through the booklet, and pressing play.
Some have even gone as far as digging out their old CD collections and dusting off their old CD players, relishing in the analog sound and the physicality of music that they feel is missing from today’s digital age.
The overwhelming support for the return of the CD player has led to calls for music companies to consider bringing back the technology, at least in a limited capacity for those who still appreciate the nostalgia and charm of physical media.
Whether or not the CD player will make a comeback remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Gen Z’s plea for the return of this outdated millennial staple has struck a chord with internet users across generations.
