Such a powerful take on a much-quoted poem. Like many, I had no idea Niemöller originally supported the Nazi regime. I always assumed he was a vocal critic from the start. Learning about his transformation gives me hope that others can change too...(I hope!)

Anecdotally, I’ve noticed a shift among some of my Trump supporting family members. The usual Facebook debates and comments have quieted down lately. Maybe they’re just tired of the back-and-forth. But maybe (hopefully) some are starting to feel a growing discomfort. Maybe silence is the first sign that something inside is shifting..?
