First They Came 2025 [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

We should all be familiar with Martin Niemöller’s “First They Came”. I believe we need a version for 2025 as the parallels are obvious and the lessons from the 1930’s have been forgotten.
First they came for the First Amendment by arresting Palestinian students protesting against the actions of Israeli army, but I said nothing as I did not support their actions.
When they came for the free press, they were only attacking the woke media. I said nothing as I got my news from Fox and did not want my children groomed.
Next they came for the Fourth Amendment with their warrantless arrests of Latinos regardless of their citizenship, but I said nothing as I was not Latino.
Next they came for the Sixth Amendment by sending people to Alligator Alcatraz or El Salvador’s CECOT without a trial, but I said nothing because I was not a criminal.
When they came for my guns, the Bill of Rights and The Constitution were dead. Dead by a thousand cuts.
