Then they came for you
and there was no one left.
Because, even with all the warnings
and all of the signs,
you chose to ignore
the fascists kicking down your door.

Then they came for the sick,
and called them burdens,
while the billionaires cheered.
You said nothing,
for you were still healthy.

#5

Then they came for the poor,
and called them lazy,
as they stripped the last safety nets away.
You said nothing,
for you were still getting by.

Then they came for the protesters,
and called them terrorists,
for refusing to kneel.
You said nothing,
for you stayed home.

Then they came for the teachers,
and called them indoctrinators,
for daring to teach the truth.
You said nothing,
for your children were grown.

Then they came for the journalists,
and called them traitors,
for asking the questions no one else would.
You said nothing,
for you weren’t on the news.

First They Came (2025)
By Jordan Hosier

First they came for the undocumented,
and called them criminals,
though seeking safety was never a crime.
You said nothing,
for you had your papers.

MAGAs are ok with a Qatari air force base in Idaho. But wow did they put up a fuss in 2023 over that Chinese balloon.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Trump, in a news conference rant in 2024, commented that Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom “destroyed California.” He continued his rambling to say, “San Francisco you know is a great city 15 years ago.”

So, SF was great in 2009. Newsom was mayor and Harris was AG in SF from 2004 to 2011! Lol!

Rainbow crosswalks are beautiful! This one is in Delray Beach, FL. Floridians, fight the mandate to remove them.

Where are the marches,
the building blockades,
The posters, the songs,
and the outright outrage?

My protest teeth were cut
on the Viet Nam war.
Civil disobedience was
a badge of honor.

America is not beautiful
when monsters like Trump
make a mockery of democracy
and humiliate our humanity.

According to CNN’s fact checkers, Zelenskyy has thanked presidents Biden and Trump, and the American people, 33 times since the war began three years ago.

I was sickened by Trump and Vance’s treatment of Zelensky today at the WH.
They were cruel to him.
