Letter: A Simple Message

To the Editor:
Many of us grew up learning about Nazi Germany, asked to reflect on what we would have done had we lived through its rise. Maybe we even imagined ourselves resisting, speaking out, or helping those in danger.
Today, the president is reviving Guantanamo as a concentration camp, rounding up immigrants, dismantling scientific institutions, abandoning public safety, rolling back civil rights, and systematically erasing queer people. This is not a thought experiment. However we choose to act now is the answer to the question we once asked ourselves.
History is watching.
