If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

I think it would be a good idea for D politicians to be declaring this publicly, pre-emptively. They should state it as an abstract, legal proposition: an order by the President to seize Greenland would be unlawful, here's why. Trump does not have the legal right to attack a NATO ally. Say it.

If you won’t hear me, hear Jamelle Bouie. He’s right: the ICE operation in Minnesota reads as panic. After Renee Good was killed, the White House escalated force instead of accountability. That choice isn’t strength. It’s fear. And it’s why they’re losing the political fight.

Plus; many of these ICE watch groups are centered around schools, which simultaneously operate as polling places in many cases
A lot of communities have already organized ICE Watch networks, or they are organizing them presently. Might I suggest these *very same networks* can be used for election poll watching.
This is why we need communities to organize systems of election support for voters. We can’t let anyone feel alone and intimidated into not voting.

What if the goal was to loot federal databases for their wealth of priceless private information on hundreds of millions of Americans--our tax records, Social Security #s, mortgage filings--& use that data to punish political enemies & train the surveillance technologies owned by the Broligarchs?

This is how it's done. If you live somewhere that hasn't yet been attacked, this is what you need to work on. Dig in. Most of America doesn't consume news so if your suburb looks like mine, there probably isn't much going on in your community.
Organize and dig in.

I cannot overstate how much everything we're doing relies on heavily populated, extremely active community networks and channels. If ICE sets foot in my neighborhood signal blows up. There are observers on virtually every block. Someone whistles or honks like crazy and suddenly EVERYONE knows.

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

Norm, we see what your saying, but court orders don't do shit when our brains are already dripping onto our airbags. Citizens are not experiencing the rule of law personally or the rule of law constraining Trump. It's materially apparent.
I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump
Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY
And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇
