Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

This is the most tone-deaf invocation of this quote I have heard in my life.

#10I understand why Twitter might not want ISIS accounts on their service but from a national security standpoint, it seems better to have the communication happening on a U.S.-based service like Twitter than some darknet or crypto-centric app.
