It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.
Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.
“Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”

Exactly right. Fighting to keep premiums from spiking is good, but they should really be fighting to truly fix this broken system. #MedicareForAllNOW

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

The president just straight up said "I'm not a part of that guy's evil sex trafficking ring because he kept poaching talent from my evil sex trafficking ring" on mic today. Honestly it's all so vile and sick. And he's just gonna go about his day tomorrow. Doing what he wants. It's so bleak.
