First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hi Norbert….it has only just hit the news outlets here in Australia….that bestselling Australian children’s author Mem Fox was detained & questioned extensively by TRUMP’S GOONS at LAX–!!!
She was scheduled to attend a conference in the U.S.—a country to which she has previously travelled about 116 times–!!!
FFS—!!!
At the same time, we’re hearing “down here” that the bloody Gropingfuhrer has been excluding press reps of whom he disapproves, from White House briefings.
Things are NOT going well up there for you—!!!
…..know that millions around the world are “thinking of you” all–!!
There WILL be better days ahead….our thoughts are with you–!!!
We’re fucked, Ray. You can say it as it is.
