To add to the ongoing fear, and the trauma, experienced by those who live in Minneapolis (and beyond), particularly following the terrible killing of Renee Good, President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, in order that he can send the military into Minneapolis, to police the city.
He certainly loves making threats. The threats are endless--day after day, month after month. His is a presidency governed by threats.
He wrote on his social media platform on Thursday that he wanted to "stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E..."
The insurrectionists.
I got an email on Thursday from The Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump, pro-democracy organization.
The title of the email was: "The insurrectionist wants to use the Insurrection Act."
