This is a ploy to make us all feel unsafe. Safety is much lower than social justice. It is a premeditated distraction. Don't fall for it. Get the troops off our streets ASAP.

I saw someone the other day opine that Republicans are attacking the two base needs in the "hierarchy of needs" pyramid, because when you (generic "you") don't feel like your basic survival is assured, you're going to lose empathy for other people.

The presence of troops in Washington, DC and other cities isn’t about curbing crime—it’s a calculated move to legitimize federal overreach and condition the public to accept authoritarian control. Yet the silence is deafening. It’s as if people are sleepwalking through a moment that demands alarm.
