@npr: President Trump is threatening to send more military deployments to Democratically-run cities. He has said Chicago, New York and possibly Baltimore could follow Washington, D.C., in having a military presence. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement Saturday that the state had not received any requests or outreach from the federal government and said there is “no emergency” in the state that would warrant the kind of intervention Trump was proposing. In a Truth Social post Sunday, Trump also went after Maryland's Gov. Wes Moore and threatened to send troops to Baltimore. Tap the link in our bio to read the full story.

It’s almost like he’s following somebody else’s playbook on how to become an authoritarian dictator

I'll admit I was wrong. Americans actually do need AR-15s to protect themselves against the federal government.

Isn’t national guard state owned? He has to have governors request to send them in I think

Florida, Texas, Arkansas all have higher crime rates than in Chicago in New York. Why isn’t he sending troops there?

Blue states & cities should do a temporary 2A unfreeze. No regulations. Constitutional carry.

It’s curious that the government isn’t using the Illinois National Guard but guards people from other states.

mkspotato :

Is it not blatantly obvious to everyone that not only is avoiding red states and cities with disproportionate crime rates but intentionally targeting cities with mayors of color?
