Mass. Governor plans to fight Trump on migrant deportation—how to win that fight in one easy lesson

Talking about Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, who says, when asked about police assisting ICE in deporting illegal aliens:
“No. Absolutely not… I do think it’s important that we all recognize that there’s gonna be a lot of pressure on states and state officials, and I can assure you we’re gonna work really hard to deliver.”
“In 2016, we had a very different situation in the courts and while I’m sure there may be litigation ahead, there’s a lot of other ways that people are going to act and need to act for the sake of the states and their residents.”
“There’s regulatory authority and executive powers and the like. There’s legislation also, within our states. So, I think the key here is that every tool in the toolbox is gonna be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states, and certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle.” (link in footnote)

And Daddy sighs and says, “Nah. I’m cutting you off.”
Bang.
Many other adult children in Mass. who are holy wokey dokies…suddenly realize one day:
