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 The behavior of major media organizations has been disgusting and disgraceful for a very long time.
When June 16th, 2015 didn't finally galvanize them, it was clear they believed themselves to be safe, ignoring all of history.

Maybe now they'll finally start.
