Martin Niemöller’s poem rings prophetic today:

First they came for the Black people in the US because they were DEI.
Then they came for anyone who one lived south of the US border, especially anyone not speaking English as a primary language and/or melanated
Then they came for Middle Eastern people, especially the Muslim followers.

We have to keep up the heat on this administration, because you or I could be next.
