Dr. Yusef Salaam, who was wrongly convicted as a member of the Central Park Five, young men who were convicted of a brutal attack on a jogger and then exonerated after 7 years in prison, issued a one word statement about the indictment of Donald Trump: "KARMA."
Donald Trump had infamously taken out a full-page ad in 1989, calling for the death penalty for the five young men who were coerced by police into confessing to crimes they didn't commit.
Long after they were exonerated and released from prison, Trump refused to apologize for his stance.
Karma, indeed.

"I can’t breathe. I have my ID right here. My name is Elijah McClain. That’s my house. I was just going home. I’m an introvert. I’m just different. That’s all. I’m so sorry. I have no gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why are you attacking me?
Republicans in Congress blocked President Biden’s attempt to cut the cost of insulin to $35 a month for everyone – including hundreds of thousands of children – with Type 1 diabetes.
Fun Fact: every single state that voted for Donald Trump receives more money from the federal government than it contributes. Red states have functioning state budgets only because of taxpayers in blues states.
I don’t have to respond whenever provoked.
No one does.
Steward your energy well.
We have justice work to do.
And strategy to outline.
And self-care to prioritize.
And love to live.
It’s okay to let provocateurs leave empty handed.
Robb Elementary has 576 students—and 84% are economically disadvantaged.
Now 19 were murdered, 17 have bullet wounds, & 538 are emotionally scarred the rest of their lives. The school has 1 Counselor. ONE. Yet, Uvalde Police is 40% of the town budget.
This Is A Failed System.
