@SEATTLESUBMISS I wonder if someone who is homeless without a job could be paid as onsite maintenance. Just minimal support and could contact SPD for support.

After the Nuremberg Trials, one of the most unsettling conclusions did not come from the courtroom, but from the psychiatrist tasked with evaluating the defendants.

Dr. Douglas Kelley, the U.S. Army psychiatrist assigned to assess many of the senior Nazi officials, expected to find monsters people fundamentally different from the rest of humanity. He did not.

What disturbed him most was how ordinary they were.

They were not raving madmen. They were not obvious sociopaths. They were intelligent, educated, and often convinced they were simply doing their duty, following orders, or serving a higher cause. Kelley warned that this was the real danger: evil does not always look abnormal. It often presents itself as competence, obedience, and institutional loyalty.

His central warning was deeply uncomfortable there are people with morally vacant or destructive tendencies everywhere. In every society. In every era. What determines the outcome is whether systems elevate those people, shield them from accountability, and normalize their behavior, and whether ordinary citizens are willing to question authority when it matters most.

Modern bureaucracies and institutions are powerful precisely because they diffuse responsibility. Decisions are broken into policies, protocols, committees, and “best practices.” Harm is rarely framed as harm; it is reframed as necessity, risk management, or compliance. Individuals are encouraged not to think morally, but procedurally.

This is how ordinary people become capable of extraordinary wrongdoing by outsourcing conscience to institutions and convincing themselves that accountability lies somewhere else.

The lesson of Nuremberg is not that “those people were different.” It is that they were not.

That is why vigilance matters. That is why blind trust in authority is dangerous. And that is why a healthy society must protect dissent, accountability, and moral courage especially when it is inconvenient.

History does not repeat itself because people forget facts. It repeats itself when people convince themselves, “It could never happen here.”

PROVIDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE TO A NON CITIZEN IS A STANDARD PRACTICE IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY‼️IT’S HUMAN DECENCY‼️

Pause the feed.
There is no “Secretary of War.”
There is no “war ravaged Portland.”
There is only a narrative engine testing how far it can stretch your fear before you stop checking.

When fake titles start appearing and real cities get described like Fallujah, it’s not news. It’s a rehearsal.
They want to see if you’ll accept martial law dressed up as “necessary troops.”

This isn’t about Antifa.
It’s about normalizing military language for domestic use.
Catch the glitch before it becomes the update.

On September 25, 1968, the Seattle City Council passed an emergency ordinance prohibiting the display of a “dangerous weapon” if done with intent to intimidate. The measure was introduced at the request of Mayor James Braman, a Republican, after members of the Black Panther Party appeared armed at Rainier Beach High School. They were there to support Black students who had reported being threatened and attacked by white students.

This was not unique to Seattle. In California the previous year, the legislature passed the Mulford Act, which banned the open carrying of loaded firearms in public. The law was signed by Governor Ronald Reagan and was supported by the National Rifle Association. It was introduced after the Panthers in Oakland began conducting armed patrols to monitor police interactions in their neighborhoods, and after they entered the state capitol with unloaded weapons to protest the bill.

In early 1969, members of the Seattle Panthers also went to the Washington State Capitol in Olympia to protest a proposed state law restricting the display of firearms. They complied with requests to unload their rifles before entering.

These episodes show how gun regulations in the late 1960s were often drafted in response to highly visible armed actions by the Black Panther Party in California and Washington.

Repeat # 3 per sale. Some states don't require using an FFL. No record of private sales between two people. FFL use form 4473 & tracks every transfer. https://t.co/ez389SgOPR

If you're on the side fear-mongering against folks opposed to racism, fascism and Nazis, you might be a racist, fascist, Nazi.
Nuance is dead, and dancing on its grave are grifter schmucks like this guy who profit off things getting worse.
