Today’s post is in honor of my fellow U.S. citizen Javier Ramirez:
First they came for the transgendered
And I did not speak out
Because I was not transgender
Then they came for the Haitians
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Haitian
Then they came for the students
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a student
Then they came for the Hispanics
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Hispanic
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
