Summary

Women across Detroit and other U.S. locations, including Virginia and universities in Alabama and South Carolina, have reported receiving racist text messages instructing them to “pick cotton at the nearest plantation.”

The messages, which include threats and references to white supremacist groups, have raised concerns among recipients.

FOX 2 Detroit received multiple reports from affected women, with similar cases reported by news outlets in Atlanta and Virginia.

The source and motive behind these messages remain unclear, with some online speculation suggesting possible foreign interference aimed at sowing division in the U.S.

      Project 2025 specifically mentions deputizing national guard units from red states to enforce their immigration law nationwide, specifically in blue states where the local LEOs and leadership there are likely to be less cooperative.

        Ahh. I initially read that as if it had already happened. That being in P25 tracks.

          National Guard against National Guard isn’t a solution, it’s an escalation into Civil War II.

          Voting trends among cops and military enlisted pretty heavily skew Trump last I checked, regardless of the state’s general affiliation. Nightmare scenario is that basically every org structure either defects to red entirely or is sabotaged into operational ineffectiveness by a minority of traitors.

          I would not trust anyone in uniform to be on my side as things start to slide.

            Not to mention the president has the ability to active their national guard, disobeying would be a dishonorable discharge. (Loss of job/pay/health benefits/education benefits).

            Depending on your state, it’s illegal to be homeless now to, so loss of job is pretty scary
