A group of 19 Democratic governors on Thursday condemned President Trump’s threat to send National Guard troops into major cities like Chicago, Baltimore and New York as an “alarming abuse of power.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...

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.

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.

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.

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.

bmalo.bsky.social @bmalo.bsky.social

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

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
