This is the take:
Trump didn't arrest journalists from corporate outlets, and that's a key point bc it gives those corporate outlets an excuse to minimize the abuse of power without feeling like they're abandoning their own.
If that's how they handle it, the regime has already succeeded in compromising the press.

The problem with the Democrats isn't that they're bad at resistance it's that they're good at collaboration
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

Just, you know, going out on a limb, but if states constitutionally don’t have to act as instruments of federal law enforcement, seems like a campaign of terror against the civilian population to coerce them to do so ought also to be unconstitutional.
