It would be so great if Democratic Party elected officials would start acting as if they’re living under a government that will lawlessly kill or arrest them for the crime of political opposition.

Trump has already "executive ordered" martial law and it goes into effect at the end of July. There needs to be a lot more conversation about #ExecutiveOrder14288 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... Some cities, like Detroit, have taken action (for what it's worth). detroitmi.gov/sites/detroi...

martial order is a vague and confusing concept, that can not be issued by the president, although he can declare parts. Only the 'government" can declare it, and the military then is control. Very confusing, and I really don't understand, what it all means.
jun 18, 2025, 12:37 am • 0 0 • view
#ExecutiveOrder14288 is martial law disguised as an EO. What this EO calls for is the same as what happens during martial law. He'll do what he wants and then we have to wait months for courts to rule and even when they rule against him, he just ignores it. It will be up to the military leaders.

OK, thanks. So, we are already under undeclared martial law now. Since presidents have no power to declare martial law thats what he is already doing, but the military has not taken over yet? It's very confusing for me.
