Today’s post is in honor of my fellow U.S. citizen Javier Ramirez:<\/p>\n
First they came for the transgendered
\nAnd I did not speak out
\nBecause I was not transgender
\nThen they came for the Haitians
\nAnd I did not speak out
\nBecause I was not Haitian
\nThen they came for the students
\nAnd I did not speak out
\nBecause I was not a student
\nThen they came for the Hispanics
\nAnd I did not speak out
\nBecause I was not Hispanic
\nThen they came for me
\nAnd there was no one left
\nTo speak out for me<\/i><\/p>\n
