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’m very glad that they’re so many protests. I live in Europe and searched the news for protests in the USA but didn’t found information about it, except the protests against Tesla dealerships.

      Keep fighting!
