Because they’re still literally not doing their jobs.
As an example, let’s say I flip burgers for a living. You come in to my restaurant and order a cheeseburger. I then proceed to slap a hunk of raw ground beef and a slice of cheese down right on the counter in front of you. That’ll be $8.50, pay up.
You aren’t going to say “that’s progress!” you’re going to say “that’s not a fucking cheeseburger”.
Same here. Yeah, it is progress forward from the literal nothing that they were doing before. It still is not satisfactory progress that satisfies the basic job requirements of their chosen career.
you can’t apply group behaviour to single events… it takes time to change human behaviour in a group - especially when it’s politicised behaviour … if every restaurant were serving raw patties and raw was incorrectly politicised as “healthier” and then 50% started being cooked you’d say that’s progress… it’d remain horrible, but it is indeed progress and clearly those doing better should be congratulated for somehow managing to get their shit together even a little bit
Trump and his MAGA machine definitely want to see local law enforcement (particularly “blue city” cops like Minneapolis) fire the first shots at National Guard, it lets them enter a new form of oppression. Arresting National Guard would be received as an act of war, and everyone involved here understands that.
But it literally is progress if every restaurant you go to and order a cheeseburger says “Fuck you, I’ll take my $8.50 and you have to leave”. There’s a weird presumption here that you could go somewhere else and get the whole burger just how you like it and you absolutely can’t.
A better analogy is that you go to a chain restaurant and the regional manager comes in to spit on your food and undercook your patty but the franchise workers say “we might let you under cook it because you’re sort of the boss, but that’s as much lenience as you get”.
Not perfect, but still city or state action against the Fed is progress considering the group of people who are officers at any level are probably closer to homegenous than the regular population.

Hahaha fuck it must be tiring.

ICE are not the national guard.

I can cook my own burger and that’s the direction “justice” is going if shit stays on this trajectory.
You sure can. There are two things I can’t say about that though:
