America is not safer when ICE / Government deports people to separate families.  This is not a law and order issue, it is an issue of caring for humans.

"First They Came For the Immigrants..."

Monday, 30 January 2017

"On Saturday morning, I put the finishing touches on what I thought would be today's post about President Donald Trump's awful first week in office. It began like this:

Does anyone else think it's weird that President Donald Trump shows off his signature to camera every time – every single time! - he signs something? “Look ma, I learned how to write my name.”"

""If we are not careful we can expand Martin Niemoller's saying...
[substitute "silenced" in place of "they came for" as it is pretty much the same thing]
Then they came for the Methodists and I did not speak out - because I was not a Methodist
Then they came for the Lutherans...
Then they came for the Catholics...
Then they came for the Baptists...
Then they came for the poor
Then they came for people of color
Then they came for anybody who spoke out...
Then America became "great" again. "

"First Trump came for the women
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a woman.

Then Trump came for the people with disabilities
And I did not speak out
Because I did not have a disability.

Then Trump came for the African Americans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not African American.

Then Trump came for the Mexicans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Mexican.

Then Trump came for the Muslims
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Muslim.

Then Trump came for the gay, bi, and trans people
And I did not speak out
Because I was not gay, bi or trans.*

Then Trump came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.**

Then Trump came for the journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a journalist.***

Then Trump came for the judges
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a judge.

And now Trump is coming for the Constitution of the United States
And if I do not speak out, what am I?"

* Actually I am one of those, and I didn’t speak out about that.
** And one of those, and didn’t speak out about that either.
*** Ditto.
