To forestall this assault on democracy, each blue state must establish a posse comitatus to arrest and prosecute lawless ICE agents. There’s no other way.

Long before Nov 3rd, ICE will metastasize in purple (swing) states, where it will foment chaos and sow fear. Voters of color will stay home, giving the elections to the GOP.

Democrats are in denial. Neither mass protests nor lawsuits will stop ICE. It has virtually unlimited funds, support of a rubber-stamp Congress, and strategic direction by a bitter, determined clique around Trump.

Democrats are fanning out to hold town halls in red districts & states, a duty forsaken by Republicans.

The goal is to further discredit an unhinged "mad king," turn up the heat on GOP lawmakers, and build the resistance. 2/2

Not only in the courts, but in the public square Democrats are finding their footing against Trump and his attempts to hollow out our govt.

The unofficial battle cry: "Victims of Trump are out there in the thousands. Democrats just need to find them—and be their champion." 1/2

Trump identifies with authoritarian leaders, esp Putin. He shares their worldview and aspires to be one of them. For such authoritarians—as Ben-Ghiat points out—democracies are the problem. Trump wants to remake the US into an authoritarian regime, so it won't be a problem, and he can join the club.

We can take inspiration from these Hungarians...

Trump described Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “genius” and “savvy.” He now wants to emulate Putin's imperialist agenda.

I’ve not always been a Bernie fan, but I feel he’s pointing Democrats in the right direction, now. And they’re beginning to follow his lead, with plans for Democratic town halls in all 50 states, starting with red ones.

Democratic rank-and-file want performative politics to provide them a much-needed catharsis. But one thing is clear to me. The economy is tanking, and voters are pinning it on Trump. A government shutdown facilitated by the Democrats would muddle the one issue that can pull Trump down.

"They never answered Schumer's core argument that if we shut down govt, Trump will have expanded power to furlough nonessential workers, and he won't bring them back," David Brooks says. "By shutting the govt you're expanding his power to decimate the govt." to.pbs.org/41tkHJt tinyurl.com/4cvjsyxv
