I keep seeing that “first they came for the journalists” sign, and it pisses me off so much, because when they came for muslims, immigrants, and trans people, mainstream journalists normalized it and reported it as “both sides”. Somehow it didn’t count for them until it was happening to them personally, which is *exactly* what the fucking poem was warning against in the first place.
@goosname it's such a damning self-own as to the *one thing* they're valuable for

like,

> the first

> did not notice the stuff that wasn't directly happening to them, let alone document and report it
