It certainly seems as if Blue States are going to need their own, federally independent, well-regulated militias in the coming times.

Yeah, y'all gonna fire up that so-called militia to protect against tyranny? Probably not hey, just write a funny social media comment and give a mildly worded presser.
So of COURSE he will...
If only the @nytimes.com had told the truth about the traitor in Chief, but clicks and eyes were more important. If you were really serious you'd be writing the truth on the front page every day, but instead your Trump fluffers most of the time. You're one of the reasons fascism is here
You are spot on with that, they have been kissing his big orange butt for over 10 Years
Who didn’t sign?
Walz, Lamont, Green and Hobbs. Would have been nicer with all 23, but I guess they had their reasons.
Find those people who don’t mind having a dictator and send them to their home.
Sure. Resisting fighting crime makes perfect sense. Most urban areas are hellscapes. Like trans and the border, the Dems have found another 80/20 issue.
Democrats reactions to everything is "We don't like that. That's bad.". Meanwhile no one cares and Trump gets away with it. Grow a spine and stand up against him or move aside for someone else who will.
If they don’t sue, what’s actually the point of condemnation?
Is anybody of the mind that he's attacking blue states because they are his biggest challenge? If he's able to impress his authoritarian government on blue states first, red states will just fall in line. Just my thoughts, aside from the usual, he's a maniacal, racist pig!
NYT CERTAINLY DOESN'T CONDEMN IT THOUGH. NYT HAS TOLD WHO IT IS THROUGH ITS BEHAVIOR...AND WE SHOULD BELIEVE IT. #BOYCOTTNYT
💙👍
Good for them.
These words will solve everything! The pedo is always looking to help minors!
⚖️✊ Thanks to everyone fighting for rights and Justice. We're all in this together. Strength in numbers
Military service members can be discharged for obeying an illegal order. Governors could issue a declaration commanding them not to comply with trumps anti American scheme. If they do, dishonorably discharged and no pension. Play hard ball.
Inform the citizenry to refuse service to all federal LEO’s and National Guardsmen. Refuse to sell gas, groceries, lodging, at convenience stores, and at restaurants. Let them bivouac in the streets like the homeless they’re displacing.
Love that idea!
* The Republican Party has declared civil war on democracy vis a vis default to Donald Trump for fear of being "Being primaried" . *
They should send their national guards to protect red cities. I’m sure Oklahoma City would love some support on crime from Colorados National Guard😉
Or what? Trump gets a strongly worded haiku?
Every patriotic governor should be part of this coalition to preserve and protect our Republic and constitutional rights. Those that do not join out themselves as treasonists…and those sending military to invade our cities are traitors.
But what will they do if he does it? That’s the thing. Trump pulls his bullshit and no one does a thing about it.
They have a plan. They do stuff about it, lawsuits. There are so many in the works, he fired a lot of judges so there’s a backlog as well. He hasn’t won all his cases like he portrays too.
Tcha! It’s going to take a bit of an Inglourious Basterds intervention to cut the head off this particular snake. Once he’s gone, that whole house of cards will fall like dominoes. Checkmate.
Yes, just read this week that they have been meeting daily for up to two years, strategizing, examining their options and preparing responses to any number of violations. The governors and state AGs are stepping up! cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
great article thanks for sharing
And after they are ARRESTED , PROSECUTED & CONVICTED whether they’re in the NATIONAL GUARD or not THEY CANNOT BE PARDONED BY THAT CRIMINAL FELON!
Use all tools, but suing, legislating, or voting your way out of fascism doesn't have a great historical track record. Meanwhile, one side wants to keep playing by the rules and the other doesn't, while simultaneously consolidating power. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
Your second statement encapsulates it clearly.
Under Constitution Governor of state is Commander in Chief of their Guard Units. Since legal reasons for deploying troops domestically are EXTREMELY narrow for President, & Trump’s aren’t… Technically they can override his orders & order their guards to block other state’s troops from entering.
I have paywall but my guess is NJ's Gov. Murphy is on here since he is a very lame duck at this point
Yea👽
Troops should be the bright red line where blue states start their soft secession by refusing to forward the Federal tax they collect.
Not a subscriber; hopefully MD is on there?
Try scrolling back up and clicking on the link again today. I just did, and it opened. It does not, however, list those that did, only those that didn't...kinda surprised that Walz in MN didn't! 🤔🤷🏼♀️
Yes, Moore signed it
Well get your goddamned crime ridden catastrophic states in order then. I wish he’d send troops to Washington State. Walmarts and other stores pay actual police officers to walk around their stores all day because the theft is so bad. Get your fucking shit together before Trump does it for you!
start web th worst-all red states. Alabama, Miss, Louisiana. put up or shut your fucking fascist goon face

He wants to stop crime
National Guard troops have to travel on city and state roads from their landing points. Local governments need to barricade the routes and turn them back.
Absolutely! Is there organizing around that, @50501movement.bsky.social ?
How odd, this story isn't on the "front page" of the website (at least, not the one I'm seeing).
Very disappointed to see that Lamont in CT was not one of the signees.
I wanna see a full ice out of anyone participating. Full refusal to do business or any kind. They’re a brand risk and should go elsewhere. Disobey illegal orders or experience isolation from polite society. Congrats, you did a bad thing and now can’t buy a fucking sandwich air get a hotel room.
He would love nothing more than a civil war.
IMO; Besides the obvious. This is the necessary first steps to assure the boxes are checked off for the legal challenges.
Protect the illegals. They are your replacement. Protect the criminals because they are a bigger priority than the victims. This message is Democrat and deep state approved. 🤔😵💫😏😂
It's about time.
It's an alarming use of power. It's also unlawful. Unconstitutional presidents are a weight upon humanity. The New York Times could begin by reporting how it's not American. Again and again. This is not Putin town.
Texas next? Trump isn’t trying to make cities safer. He’s being the bully he always has been. Pushing his 300lb weight around.
Are they going to physically stop him?
ROFL
And you made it all possible, just like you stumped for Hitler in the 1930s. The best thing a NYT reporter or employee can do is quit and steal important equipment on the way out.
Lmao
Blue states need to be more assertive in standing up to the Trump administration. Like it or not, they are the ones contributing the most to the federal government while subsidizing red states. It’s time they leverage that reality.
Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, WHY didn't you sign this? What's up with that? Maybe you're not the leader we all thought you were.
The article neglects to name all 19 governors. Sadly typical of NYT.
I call it 'behind' a lectern, but A++ on lectern! 🥰
Now go have him removed for oh so many crimes.
Holy crap, what a photo
The actual banner doesn’t say “PEDO” but other than that, real photo
Never thought I would see this happening in America but here we are.
Unite!
Overall, Don the Rapist/convicted felon/twice impeached is going to target Democratic strongholds, African-Americans, and communities of color nationwide in order to instigate/provoke violence (Civil War); also, so his RACIST administration can further paint them in a negative light Pathetic POS😐
they need to do the same for ICE as well, they just came into WA to stopped firefighters working the states worst fire, one that can endanger lives, but no, they didn't care, the racism was first priority
Tired of the BS spewed about Blue states - the economic engines that generate 70% of the country’s GDP and 60% of the country’s tax revenue‼️ Many are Donor States that contribute more in Federal taxes than they receive back. Red states tend to receive more federal funding than they pay in taxes.
Fuck that guy. Deploying troops for no damn reason is profoundly un-American. Invoke the 25th and soon.
I mean, they could activate their own state's National Guard to block the roads. (Yelling down the hall) HAS ANYONE TRIED THAT?!
He’s going to send them so IMO these Gov’s need to tell their citizens,don’t give DJT a REASON to shoot to kill! Stay off the streets just like we did w/covid! DJT said in 28 we won’t have to 🗳️ again! He said yesterday the idea of WAR was something to consider to 🛑 elections. WHAT do u 🤔 he’s doing?
Speaking with my DC family, it seems to be working. They love it. Thinking other city residents will feel the same
The amount of money that trump is spending on the national guard would be better spent giving those millions to the city to add two dozen more police officers. The problem with the national guard is its temporary. If he gives them the money, it would be permanent.
If they show up, FORCE THEM OUT!
Take back the narrative, while the T’rump has everyone fulminating about “occupation” of cities Epstein files are losing traction
I know MAGA prefer banning books to reading them but when they decided to use the Complete History of Hitler’s Third Reich as a blueprint, did any of them make it past Chapter Two? Spoiler: it doesn’t end well for anybody involved.
www.dailywire.com/news/jb-prit...
Did they send a sternly worded letter?
wtf have you done? write a sternly worded tweet.
They should send their national guard to crime ridden cities in Red States like Shreveport in Speaker Johnson’s district 😂🤣
It is an abuse of power, America, we all need to wake up. or we will be living in an authoritarian government.
Big Crime in the White House
I pray that the law may be upheld. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Warn Trump of what?? Warnings and/or threats only embolden him. They will not stop him, as he has control over the courts and the military doing his bidding. There are only two ways to stop him and one of them is to vote him out, but that takes time and the votes.
I hope they realize that by condemning him, he will just ignore them and do it anyway. Come 2028 Democrats will be illegal and Trump will have completely seized power.
Governors will need to use their National Guard to fight off invading guardsman from other red states by force. That's how it will unfortunately need to be. And a civil war will begin
Wow! Maybe if you all at the NYT had been more vocal in warning everyone of the dangers of authoritarian Trump, instead of dogging Biden for his age, we wouldn't be in this fucking mess, huh. 🤬 You and the rest of the MSM gave us this bullshit because y'all are addicted to clicks. Fuck off! 🖕🖕
New York Times are collaborators. They worked overtime to help usher Trump into power, twice. They are not our allies.
Defund the police and democratic governors.
Everything that reprehensible orange turd does is “an alarming abuse of power”. How we have allowed that idiot con man reality tv host to cosplay leading this country is beyond me.
***Multiple 2024 Election Manipulation & Fraud court cases are popping up ALL OVER the country and not enough people are talking about it*** #ViewTheOriginalPost, I attached #MultipleVideos in the #OriginalVidCommentSection.

Please **watch all the videos in the original comments section** And #PleaseDont just watch and then #not talk about it. WE ALL NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT THIS. The mess of current events we're in wouldnt even be happening. This is the most important. 🇺🇸⚖️🗽
👍👍👍👀
My governor signed!
Republican governors should do the same, if they're not complete idiots.
I think the Guard may be completely out-gunned in some neighborhoods. They might also get their apc’s ‘jacked. (Which is why they’ve stayed mostly in touristy ‘hoods in DC and LA.
blinklens.com/best-shampoo...
Here we go. The ultimate 2 Party Power Grab politics show down. It must be hell having useless campaigning 24/7/365, eh? Ever considered your being brained washed?
Now we've reached the tough talk phase. What will they do when Trump sends in the troops? Sue him? Too little too late.
Blue states governors, send your Guardsmen to audit the Red state Guardsmen in places such as DC. Just as good, send them to the Red states to round up Ice Nazis terrorising their locals.
OR YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT!? You haven't done SHIT so far but that is suddenly the red line!?
Reminder: The majority of Americans are democrats. The majority of American people live in blue states and blue cities along with the bulk of America's industry wealth and prosperity. Blue states, Governors and mayors need to lead a unified opposition against the fascists in the White House.
Or else what?
I find it incredible that ANYONE could support crime and criminals as democrats do.
Time for the City of Chicago to tear up the roads at 190 South Calumet; 55200S Cottage Grove Ave; 3131 W Worth Ave; and 4034 W 75th St. A few weeks worth of "sewer repair" should work
They need to all sue
That’s great and all, but by my calculation that leaves 31 states jonesing to plow us under.
Trump is crossing The Rubicon. #Trump
What Caesar wants Caesar gets
If you send them, they will get sandwiched 🥪
Screw condemning: Threaten. Threaten to cut the purse strings. Threaten to arrest any unlawful incursions in their states. Work as a compact and PUSH BACK
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
let's get 15 more states and have a good ol' article V convention.
Hitler=twitler!
Just how much trash pickup and mulching do these cities need
LOL!
The republican governors meanwhile: harder daddy!
All of their constituents are begging for Trump to help them
Why does it feel like Dem Governors are the only ones vocally trying to stop the US from sliding further into an authoritarian dystopia?
More hollow talk
Great, now what are they going to do about it when trump does it anyway? It’s time for more than words
Now put your own State National Guard on alert to stand by!
I like it a lot but what’s the “or else”?
This is *great* to see. The blue states need to stand together against Trump.
It’s a strong pushback from 19 Democratic governors against Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops to big cities, calling it a dangerous overreach of authority that could escalate tensions in urban areas.
Washington is one of them. The guard troops can stay the fuck out. They're unwelcomed
United this is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
STAY STRONG GOVERNORS AMERICA thanks you
And what exactly are they going to do if he does? Protest?
TO THOSE 37% W/TRUMP: WAKE THE FUCK UP. "MY GROCERIES AREN'T THAT HIGH", "MY HEALTH INSURANCE HASN'T GONE UP", "I HAVEN'T SEEN ICE IN MY STREETS"... IT'S GOING TO GET MUCH MUCH WORSE. GOOGLE SEARCH WHICH TRUMP POLICIES GO IN EFFECT IN 2026. IT'S A CON. VOTE Rs OUT NOW. YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
Hey America
Does anyone have a gift version or this or can you tell me if AZ Gov Katie Hobbs is part of this list? My money is on no. She’s been a collaborator (unlike our AG)
I don’t believe she is. My theory is the state isn’t blue enough for her to confidently get out in front of this. If she did, I believe she would receive a huge swell of support here. She’s been pretty flaccid imo. I like what AG Mayes has done.
We def aren’t blue. A little luck that’s probably only temporary However, she’s done some foolish things that have turned Democrats off. MAGA was never going to vote for her but she’s lost her base too. She has shitty political instincts. I need someone else to run against her and it won’t happen
Saying “the military shouldn’t invade Arizona” is having the bar underground and she’s still failing. She blatantly doesn’t care the constitution is being trampled on and appeasing the far right isn’t going to help her win again. 🤦🏻♀️
Agreed. If she was more vocal/aggressive, she would meet the moment and make me more comfortable going into a second term for her. Her timidity worries me if this administration strong arms their way into our state with the military
“Wes Moore of Maryland and Kathy Hochul of New York signed the statement, along with all but four of the nation’s Democratic governors — those in Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii and Minnesota.” Times article gives no further info on reasons these 4 didn’t sign.
Thank you for this! ❤️ But ???? Those are some blue freakin states besides us here in AZ.
yeah, i’d like to know what is behind their decision.
Maybe for #Hawaii they need the money from national guard troops spending months on end there haha. I love Hawaii, but it's hella expensive to get to/stay in and given we are already in a depression/recession, I imagine trips there have declined a lot
The NYT article does not list all 19 Governors that signed the letter. I was looking to see if Josh Shapiro was on the list. I'd imagine he would be but they only listed about seven.
I'm incorrect, they listed those who didn't sign.
I’m not at all surprised to see Katie Hobbs as a non-signer. She’s going to lose her any base trying to appease MAGA here I’ll be undervoting for Gov. Our AG kicks ass but Hobbs is a cowardly collaborator who even, against state law, canceled a referendum vote here in Scottsdale. I don’t do fascism
Dear Americans you have to fight to save democracy Hungary is not far away. Good luck 😉
Where are the R governors? Are they so afraid to get him angry that they go along - never thinking about the fact that what goes around comes around. Can't wait for that day to come!!
