I agree that states should nullify as much of this unconstitutional and oppressive federal policy as they’re able. It’ll probably bring retaliation, impounded funds, a swarm of ICEstaffel, and maybe some sham investigations into politicians. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t do it, but be aware of the risks.
The thing is, the feds aren’t really acting within the confines of the law. They’re not really passing much legislation for the states to nullify. Potus is ruling by decree with unconstitutional executive orders, and the mechanisms of the federal government are just falling in line. All congress has done is pass some funding packages and give tax cuts to billionaires while cutting essential social services.
States should do what they can, yeah. But the feds aren’t exactly following the law so states need to be willing and able to enforce their countermeasures.

Exactly.
