    First they came for x and I didn’t speak up.

    Then they came for y and I didn’t speak up.

    I may be misquoting here but the sentiment and line of thinking is the same.

          First they came for the disabled people, and I said nothing because I was not disabled yet.

          Then they came for the immigrants and I said nothing because my ancestors stole this land generations ago.

          Then they came for the transgender people, and I said nothing because I was not trans.

          Then they came for the rest of the people of color and I said nothing because I was white.

          Then they came for the Jewish people and I said nothing because I was not Jewish.

          Then they came for the rest of the queers and I said nothing because I was not queer.

          Then they came for the leftists and I said nothing because I was not a leftist.

          Then they came for the rest of the women and I said nothing because I was not a woman.

          Then they came for me, and there was no one left to fight for me.
