Every Guard unit sent to DC for a made-for-TV moment is one less unit ready to respond to floods in Ohio, fires in Louisiana, or hurricanes off the Carolina coast.
We don’t train for stunts.
We train for real emergencies.

WATCH: @amandacarpenter.bsky.social on the common sense case governors should be making to #KeepTheGuardHome. “Some of these governors need to take responsibility for their own state, and say: I cannot in good faith send these troops to D.C., away from our own citizens meant to serve our people.”

When we signed up, we agreed to go where we were told.
But we expected leaders to spend that trust carefully.
Sending troops into a city that didn’t ask for them—just to project strength on camera—is not careful.
It’s a misuse of the trust we gave.

Today’s call-up of Guard troops from TN, LA, OH, WV, SC & VA to DC is part of a pattern. No request from DC officials. No fed emergency. Just political optics in uniform. These Guard members should be home, training for real missions—not caught in a photo op. #KeepTheGuardHome

These troops aren’t here to protect anyone.
They’re being used to put a show of force on streets this president sees as unfriendly.
That uniform isn’t supposed to be used to threaten political opposition.
Not in this country.
