Are they even patrolling the streets where drugs and weapons are an issue? It doesn’t look like it.

So who is the enemy that the military must be armed against. Not trained in law enforcement...they are trained to kill the enemy... I think we all know who thay are targeting... DOES ANYONE IN THE NATIONAL GUARD KNOW HOW TO SAY NO!!!

“Four dead in Ohio….”

For our protection, like a toilet seat cover.

I’m afraid the outrage that was felt in 1970 won’t be the same today.

You gotta wonder what their parents think if this are they proud.

Unless they want a repeat of Kent State, the National Guard will do well to keep their weapons unloaded at all times. One accident will be one to many.

Yes it’s called a militarized duct and Rethuglicans are complicit!! We are losing our democracy!!!

The National Guard is allowing a man with no honor to strip them of their honor.

Is he only sending guardsmen who support Nazis? He vets everyone one else for Naziism.

I want someone to ask one of them if they are willing to shoot a civilian for protesting, or any of the other things magats don’t like but are protected rights.

Does the national guard get paid? Don’t they have jobs and family they’ve been forced to leave for this scripted shit show? As a Canadian I wonder how long these ppl have to do this or even want to?

Demonstrating beyond doubt that Trump has a microscopic dick.

He will not stop till he starts a civil war in which millions of innocents will die.

Gutless ***ts.

I think we're coming to an inflection point. tRUMP had little pushback in DC because there is no Governor of DC, but if he sends troops to Blue States, with Blue Govs who have their own Nat. Grd, things could get dicey. What happens when tRUMP's thugs are met by a force equally armed?

If you encounter Federal troops in your city, please ask them to call the military's GI Rights helpline for resisting illegal orders. The troops are trained to ignore protesters, so maybe holding up a big sign would be better. 1-877-447-4487 girightshotline.org

All I can say is shoot back

This will end well, said no reasonable person. This will show them, said the orange creep

It’s so easy to pull off all this militant takeover stuff. That’s why they love the undereducated.

They are going to need to pick a side: American Fascism or American Democracy. They can’t have both. It’s their duty to refuse illegal orders — anything less is treason.

By any other media, this would be called martial law.

Like I said DJT loves him some blood sport. Be careful out there

Just begging for a Kent State redux.

@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social why are these soldiers & more importantly the commanding officers going along with all of this? Surely there is military leadship that sees the danger in all this. I grew up an Air Force brat so I know there are good people that wouldn’t go along with this.

Maybe now the National Guard can step in between the ICEholes and the public and demand a warrant before they grab folks off the street for no legal reason. Wouldn’t that be nice. The National Guard upholding the Constitution.

I doubt that!

Some innocent people will die because of this.!!! 🥴🤬

With the weapons available today in the supermarket, it will not be some. This will be a disaster and will bring the US right down into nothing in the world. It is not if, but when. And Trump is going to want the ratings. And the first protesters that die, will get rid of protests in general.

What could possibly go wrong in this scenario.

Fascism is on it's way !

Traitors to this country... the shame of it all.

How many of the national guard troops actually want to be away from their families & jobs to support a wanna-be-dictator's false narrative? How many support his anti-democracy, terroristic, tyrannical agenda? Do they want to have a role in his eventual declaration of martial law? #RESIST #NoKings

He’s trying very hard to create a huge conflict.

That should make some republiCONS nervous

Maybe they'll start shooting the guys in masks?

Hopefully!

But who are they going to shoot at? Trump cannot be sure even though he thinks he can

Autogenocide

Kent State deja vu….

the gestapo will be killing people soon...

This will not end well People didn’t want to consider a national strike, so I guess nonviolence is not an option

-The troops are sent to D.C. -Trump and maga claim its working. -They decide its working so well they need guns. That is the logic turd we have to deal with every day.

Awesome. Hope they don’t shoot themselves.

All thanks to lil Stephan Nazi Miller the dumpster handler!

What was once simply “ACAB,” will soon be ACAB & ASAB.

Welcome to 🟠🤡💩fascism .. @ 🇷🇺🇺🇸Trumperica

Not standing there chit chatting. They’re targets for high powered and long range

Yeah that’s not going to make a bad situation any better.

Imagine if the National Guard kids just walked away, took off their uniforms and joined the protests.

Yeah when you plan to take the country by force like he tried on Jan 6 and flag poles and white supremist militias didn’t get it done Take control in advance of ur next attempt with armed troops He’s getting ready for martial law and imposing himself as king

All the calamity is blatant and disturbing 😳

a patriot would refuse the service.

Sounds like an incredibly ineffective way to thwart off the high crime and misdemeanor known as the sub toss!

I feel that violent conflict is inevitable at this point, it's just a matter of where it is going to pop off first. We can all see that this is what this regime is looking for, and that they'll keep pushing until the people can take no more. There is no escape ramp that is going to magically appear.

bsky.app/profile/ever...

This is nudging. Little advancements, just one thing at a time. Do the thing have the media normalize it and then take the next step. The administration is going to nudge us into full fascist and authoritarian theocracy. Just a nudge and another and another. Until it’s fubar for us.

Armed military in DC; shoot a civilian and you will be imprisoned! Nobody will save you from your disgrace.

She was right about everything www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

This is not an accident,this is a disaster in waiting.When people die because they getting shot for having the wrong skin color,it might turn out different then the few deaths that were declared"accidents"(being run over, heart attacks, denial of insulin, death "unknown")What if the ppl shoot back

absolutely unnecessary and absolute bullshit

Find a protest and every day call your reps & GOP leaders ask how long they are going to run cover for trumps sex trafficking. Your reps and GOP leaders can be reached 202-224-3121 Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org Also, Runforsomething.net

Jack you've posted the article but I'd like your opinion of the situation as it stands right now. Myself I'm seeing a very disturbing action that can quickly have repercussions nationwide.

Trump and his MAGA goons! Are doing Intentional mission creep. I think they want something to happen. (Armed why?) Remember, the Boston Massacre was the result of Red Coats being stationed in the city and patrolling the streets. Colonists didn't like it! (One of the reasons for the 3rd amendment.)

This is the escalation. First, they say there is a need for Troops in the streets. Then they put Troops in the streets. Knowing all along, it's provocative, and something will happen. If there is a riot and the NG starts shooting people like at Kent State. They wanted that to show themselves right.

No Thank You for Your Service!

Ice Cream Soldiers! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

If the National Guard kills even one US citizen, they will never come back from it. They will be hated by the American people. And should be.

I don’t think it has to be a citizen. It could be a tourist or even a green card holder, except magats wouldn’t care in that case.

And it will happen. Either by accident or in self defense. We are not the enemy. Once a civilian is killed, the military has declared war on us. The trust will be gone. They will have betrayed their oath.

It won't last forever, since we have forgotten Kent State and what the National Guard did there.

If they get away with it, they will not only cause that hate but embolden the more unhinged soldiers.

Kent State would like a word….

Enemies foreign and domestic!

The armed Gestapo is now an occupying force. Donald Rapist Trump is now fighting more Americans than our adversaries! It won’t be long before the US military is hated and distrusted

Just a matter of time. As he adds fuel to the fire, nothing good will come of this.
