You won’t ever catch me rooting for the police, and especially not the NYPD, but I’ll give him a shoutout for that

Today's a good day.

[ID: a tweet from Stephen King reading "Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! I've been waiting 7 years to say that. Karma sucks, doesn't it, Donald?"]

Almost thirty-four years after Donald Trump took out a full-page ad in New York newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty in the wake of the case of a group of young African-American men branded the “Central Park Five”, and a few days after Trump was charged with thirty-four felony counts, one of the now-Exonerated Five took out a full-page ad of his own. The full text follows:

BRING BACK JUSTICE & FAIRNESS. BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR HARLEM!

On May 1, 1989, almost thirty-four years ago, Donald J. Trump spent $85,000 to take out full-page ads in The New York Times, New York Daily News, New York Post and New York Newsday, calling for the execution of the Central Park Five — an act he has never apologized for, even after someone else confessed to and was convicted of the crime, the convictions of all five of us were overturned, and we were renamed the Exonerated Five.

Instead, Mr. Trump has often doubled-down. A few weeks after taking out the ad, he went on CNN and stated: "I hate these people and let's all hate these people because maybe hate is that we need if we're gonna get something done."

Even after our exoneration and acknowledgment by the government that we had been wrongfully convicted, Mr. Trump continued to incite animus against me, my peers and our families. In 2013 — over a decade after our exoneration — Trump called the Ken and Sarah Burns Central Park Five documentary "a one-sided piece of garbage," and when asked how he felt now that we were shown to be innocent, responded: "Innocent of what?"

In 2014, the City of New York finally reached a settlement with the members of the Exonerated Five, awarding at compensation to help us rebuild our lives after so many years were taken from us. But even that acknowledgement from the city wasn't enough for Trump to see five young Black and Latino men as anything other than criminals, saying "settling doesn't mean innocence."

Note, after several decades and an unfortunate and disastrous presidency, we all know exactly who Donald J. Trump is — a man who seeks to deny justice and fairness for others, while claiming only innocence for himself.

Being wrongfully convicted as a teenager was an experience that changed my life drastically. Yet I am honored when people express how deeply they connect with my story.

It matters because, while my experience may have been extreme, I have lived through a form of trauma that many of us experience in some way every day throughout our country. My past is an example of systemic oppression imposed by the injustice system.

But the problems our community faced when my name was splashed across the newspapers a generation ago — inadequate housing, underfunded schools, public safety concerns, and a lack of good jobs — became worse during Donald Trump's time in office.

I am trying to change that, by working with so many other dedicated community members to build a better future for everyone, both here in Harlem and across the country.

Here is my message to you, Mr. Trump: In response to the multiple federal and state criminal investigations that you are facing, you responded by warning of "potential death and destruction," and by posting a photograph of yourself with a baseball bat, next to a photo of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. These actions, just like your actions leading up to the January 6 insurrection at the U .S. Capitol, are an attack on our safety.

Thirty-four years ago, your full-page ad stated, in all caps: "CIVIL LIBERTIES END WHEN AN ATTACK ON OUR SAFETY BEGINS."

You were wrong then, and you are wrong now. The civil liberties of all Americans are grounded in the U.S. Constitution, and many of us fight every day to uphold those rights, even in the face of those like you who seek to obliterate them.

Now that you have been indicted and are facing criminal charges, I do not resort to hatred, bias or racism — as you once did.

Even though thirty-four years ago you effectively called for my death and the death of four other innocent children, I wish you no harm.

Rather, I at putting my faith in the judicial system to seek out the truth. I hope that you exercise your civil liberties to the fullest, and that you get what the Exonerated 5 did not get — a presumption of innocence, and a fair trial.

And if the charges are proven and you are found guilty, I hope that you endure whatever penalties are imposed with the same strength and dignity that the Exonerated Five showed as we served our punishment for a crime we did not commit.

Trump's mugshot, do you think he'll pull a shit-eating smirk like that one blonde woman, or will he scowl and try to look super serious? Whatever it looks like, he's going to use it as his campaign logo, I guarantee it.

iF tHeY cAn CoMe FoR mE tHeY cAn CoMe FoR yOu, yeah, guess what jackass, the feds already come for the little guy on a regular fucking basis! He's not some last line of defense against government overreach. Their boots have been on our necks for years, but this is the first time he's ever started to feel it. They're not even putting that much pressure on him! The boots and his neck aren't even in the same zip code! They're handling him with kid gloves! The media keeps talking about how he's finally getting equal treatment, but that's a bold faced lie! He's being fucking coddled! If I was charged with stealing a big gulp from 7-11, they wouldn't give me two weeks notice to turn myself in, and they certainly wouldn't release me the same day. The book isn't being thrown at him so much as presented to him on a velvet cushion, and everyone's acting like he's cornered like an animal. This is, at most, a mild inconvenience for him in a long line of inconveniences that will stretch into 2024.

Trump (a man with a private jet and strong connections to hostile foreign powers) is once again not getting held as a flight risk before a trial about his treason against the United States. Meanwhile thousands of poor and POC people are rotting in jail for weed or whatever other BS minor charges because they can't afford bail. Two systems of justice.
