Media Must Stop Pitching Martial Law for Cities
On The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie Kirk called for a federal takeover of Chicago—citing the Insurrection Act, praising D.C.’s so-called success, and urging Trump to “roll in the tanks” to “revive cities” by force. This rhetoric normalizes authoritarianism, undermines state sovereignty, and attacks democratic governance—all under the guise of “law and order.” Media outlets must not treat this as fringe bravado. It’s a real threat. Demand accountability, insist on context, and push newsrooms to call out these calls for martial law as authoritarian overreach. Add your name to hold the media accountable—don’t let extremist fantasy be framed as legitimate policy.
