@janetlogan the hilarious part is the original poem leaves us out even though we were the first fucking ones to go.

@janetlogan The failed public school system is not teaching WWII history much. It's for compliance, not critical thinking.

@janetlogan First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist 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 out for me -- Martin Niemöller

@janetlogan Trumpism is Sado-Populism. The cruelty is the point. The purpose the cruelty serves is to satiate oneself into feeling good about punishing others. The punishment, once begun, cannot end- especially when an entire political party has made punishment their identity. For this reason, concentration camps are not only possible, but likely.

@janetlogan You can also speak up immediately because there's no group of people just existing that the government should be "coming for." Whether you think the rest of the poem includes you or not.

@janetlogan To give another idea about how bad things are getting in US culture, some pro-Trump asshole who no doubt worships Pinochet posted "first they came for the communists and I did not speak out-because I was refueling the helicopters." We had problems with Pinochet lovers last time around but I fear this time will be worse

@janetlogan I also spoke out because it's the right thing to do, even if They™️ wouldn't come for me later - which they will, but we don't have to find a reason why it affects us personally to seek justice for other people. Empathy will do just fine.

@janetlogan two classmates of my son are trans. Both great kids, they visited a couple of times. We're not in the US, but we're still vigilant and we will not tolerate abuse towards them.
