I’m increasingly wondering why people in the US aren’t taking to the streets in their thousands.

I’d also like to share a poem by Martin Niemöller, who was a pastor in Germany during the Nazi regime and even supported the Nazis at the beginning:

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)

    I’ve seen three at my state’s Capital building. All three got about 5 seconds of local media coverage and zero national media coverage.
