THREAD. In Trump's speech to an unprecedented gathering of generals, he announced he was preparing to order them to use U.S. "cities as training grounds for our military." I want to highlight a few other bone chilling statements and put them into context that media obscures.
This is the most concerning thing to me about all of this; how eagerly npr and the nyt agree to launder the attack on US cities by the federal government as about going after “crime” and not just anti fascism
