It's looking more and more that blue states need response teams. I know it's getting closer and closer to Possible

Martial law, so would it be possible that Walz requests National Guard from other blues states? Don't know how things work but i would like to see somehow to limit ICE authority to when arresting an immigrants, masks come off the ones making the arrest. Plus the NG involved in the process, so no BULLSHIT illegal arrests made. How could all this take place?

to manufacture a dispute so he can declare martial law. I hope our leaders are actual planning strategy for it, and not just work-shopping zippy responses while blitzing us with emails and texts asking for money.
