Blast (within legal decibel limits) silly songs (for ex: Vanilla Ice) Lawfully engage ICE, feds, cops etc Film them Ask them why they're wearing masks Ask them to remove their masks Ask them their names Ask what agency they work for Ask them where they're from Ask them why they're here 2/3

Mock and ridicule them for masking Ask how it feels to be hated by everyone in town Ask if this is what they thought this assignment would be like Ask if they really want to be here Ask if they'd rather be home where they live with family and friends instead of being hated here 3/3

I was going to say, AOC definitely has, but that’s different from being the executive of a large state. There’s something powerful (for good or bad) about an executive being seen to lead and show strength during a crisis, whether it’s Rudy on 9/11, Cuomo during Covid, or Pritzker now.

Politely refuse cooperation, sales or service. Tell out of state NG you're busy and can't take orders, and maybe they should get take out food from Texas.

I do really hope he can have the Illinois national guard prevent ICE/Texas national guard from entering the city though. Like, force the confrontation!

that's honestly a lot to ask for one governor but maybe this is where the inter-blue state compact comes into play?
