America :(

There are no words. So I’ll leave you with these for today.

 

“First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Communist.

 
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

 
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

 
Then they came for me— 

and there was no one left to speak for me.”

 
~ Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

 
[Early supporter of the Nazis, later imprisoned for opposing Hitler’s regime.]
