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.
Niemoller's quote is getting a lot of play these days. Of course the MAGAotts figure they're safe because they're old white folks. Wait till their Social Security checks go missing and nobody answers the phone on the help line.
The whole idea that Ph.D, candidates at Ivy League schools are a threat to National Security is utterly preposterous. All that is happening here is like any Totalitarian state, dissent is being crushed. Same as Stalin sending Solzhenitsyn to the Gulag. ICE is Trump's Stazi & KGB.
