I think progressives have had a problem with "purity tests" (the need for all leaders to have tightly aligned perspectives or else stay quiet about it)
And I think the Democratic Party has had a problem with being...undemocratic - with too much power in the institution and not in the people.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday signed a law restoring Shabbona State Park, which covers about 1,500 acres in DeKalb County, to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.
Illinois returns nearly 1,500 acres of stolen land to state's first federally recognized tribe
The land in southern Dekalb County once belonged to Chief Shab-eh-nay of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation but was seized and sold by the U.S. when the chief was visiting relatives.

Don’t change your subject headings. There is no library jail. Keep using the real names not these fake ones.
Obeying in advance is worse than those doing the change because when you obey with soenthing that is clearly wrong you are putting false information into official “fact” places.

Two things, both true:
1) 200 is not a wholly-unprecedented number of agents and this is likely to be the kind of operation that doesn’t round up people so much as scare them.
2) it still scares them and part of the point is to scare them.
Fight the hype with facts; know the hype causes harm.
