I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

“They don’t regret what happened in Minneapolis because they don’t regard people like Nicole Good and anyone who dares to object to their idea of ‘real America’ as fellow citizens. …. The US government is in the hands of people who simply don’t think Nicole Good’s life was worth all that much.”
When the State Terrorizes the People

The killing of Renee Good reveals, yet again, Trumpism’s violent, authoritarian essence. MAGA is at war with the reality of American society.

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

As Trump prepares to celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary, he seems to claim that U.S. boats were in Greenland 500 years ago.
The president is mentally unfit, a danger to us all.
Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

It’s not just you. It is obvious they are looking to provoke an excuse to declare martial law. That will give 47 a ready excuse to cancel the November elections. After all, he has already expressed fears that if he loses the House he will be impeached. What stronger motivation could he have?

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

This is correct. ICE is there in the first place because of an evidence-free racist conspiracy theory promoted by a 23 Year old YouTube propagandist. They manufacture pretext.
This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

"Any gathering of Black people expressing sadness or anger is a threat to be surveilled, and something that must be neutralized…In this framework, no corner of Black life is free from the threat of police violence — including mourning the people whose lives were taken by that same violence."
