First they came for the brown, black people & I did not speak out - because I was not brown or black Then they came for the gay & trans people & I did not speak out - because I was not gay or trans. Then they came for the trade union & I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the homeless, disabled & mental illness & some being veterans. Then they came for our media, universities, public schools, social security, meals on wheels, medical & Medicaid, veterans benefits.
Then they came for you & your family - & there was no one left to speak out for you.
