South Station in Boston with a poster quoting “First they came for the Trans Folks...”.

South Station is Boston's primary intercity transportation hub, serving Amtrak, MBTA commuter rail, the Red Line, and Silver Line bus connections. A paper flyer posted near the terminal paraphrases Martin Niemöller's post-World War II confession about political complacency under Nazi rule, updating its list of targeted groups to trans people, immigrants, and students. The original quote is widely used in political and activist messaging to warn against staying silent as different groups are singled out one after another.
