Crime is caused by Inequality and Sociopathy. Guess who came to “lead” us? Homo Sapiens is a gentle, caring species: I Love them. Don’t let the aggressive, psychopathic 4% of them ruin everything… Any typos indicate cognitive decline. Berklee ‘75

Two stories worth your time: Trump’s executive order targeting ‘antifa’ and ordinary Americans alike, and a ballot initiative in Montana that could reshape how money flows through our elections. buff.ly/L6aayl4

Is the Military Complicit?
open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

Military, Police, and Corporations are Authoritarian structures which must be kept on short, tight choke-chains… we let them loose decades ago; it’s amazing it took this long for them to break bad: Fascist.

Is the Military Complicit?

When the oath to defend the Constitution collides with orders that undermine it, silence becomes its own form of betrayal.

“In 1890 a wealthy socialite, Eugene Schieffelin, released one hundred common starlings into Central Park. The release was part of Schieffelin’s decidedly eccentric effort to introduce to the United States all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare’s works.”
What’s done is done.
Nice birds, though!

When they finally discovered that #CountryOverParty made sense, they were only half way there:
It’s gotta be “Democracy over Country,” too, right?
See, “Germany: 1930’s vs Today” -
Get it?
Same country, but now it’s not a Shithole.
it’s “America”…
not #trump’s “Amerikka”…

The reason the rich business owner #SiegHeilBillies who broke into and defecated in the Capitol building on #Jan6th2021 are so sentimental about their crime is because it was the first opportunity most of them had to shit indoors…

We're about 2 weeks away from maga Mike saying that the Constitution was written by ANTIFA terrorists who rebelled against the lawful majesty of King George, from whom his grace, King Donald, is a direct descendant. Thus, Republicans will be voting to dissolve Congress and create a monarchy.

It’s probably all a myth, but essentially true: the Roman death penalty of crucifixion was reserved for crimes against Rome, and was given to the rabbi of Nazareth for telling people to turn the other cheek, pay taxes, and the real “kingdom” is in the mind: Tyrants live through the fear they create.

When Pam Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while legacy news outlets like the Washington Post wanted to seem "fair" and gave her a thumbs up.
