Please take action and spread the word. Send to someone you know hasn’t done it yet!

This report brings me hope that the murderers of 2 Minnesotans Jeffrey Pretti and Renee Good will be caught, tried and sentenced in the not too distant future. Americans need this to heal.

JimNY's avatar

Absolutely!👍👏

And it will hopefully make those ICE thugs think twice before violating people's rights left and right because of some bogus letter from DHS. They clearly assume they are immune from prosecution -let's prove them WRONG!!!

For all the folks I speak to who are depressed and despairing about the news, I tell them I subscribe to you! Your daily newsletter with positive news about the pushback against this regime helps me every day! I forward your newsletter often! Plus, I share posts from you, Andy Borowitz, Heather Cox Richardson, Allen Clifton - you know, journalists I trust. Keep up the good work!

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Agree Denise. I look to and read Scott daily for feelings of hope.

Sam Jones's avatar

Same! 🤗 ♥️

Julie's avatar

100%, Denise! You know who else gives me great hope and happy feelings? Mayor Mamdani! He is crushing his new job and with such a joyous spirit.

Sam Jones's avatar

Oh wow. That makes me happy!

Look at DJT’s popularity if you think resistance isn’t winning! I certainly hope Ramsey County will file charges AND prosecute!

Sam Jones's avatar

You’re absolutely right, Bill!

Trump ought to model himself on 'Mr. Clean' - he's into AI, might as well

be the Genii he wants to be.

Sam Jones's avatar

The resistance isn’t just fighting back. We are winning on every front. Keep these big wins coming, Scott!

Paul savin's avatar

I guess that's what happens when you only hire a band of grifters, misfits, criminals and morons. You get tired of losing. They give Scott lots of material to work with of their losses.

And like I always tell them, "there are more of us" :)

Ms Jonington's avatar

This is my safe and happy place! 🤗

Sam Jones's avatar

Glad to hear it

When I hear Trump trying to denounce renewable energy in favor of oil and gas, I want to tell him "sit-down gramps and shut up. You're behind the times and way off on science and common sense". God, we need a progressive president.

Patti Scott's avatar

And all these data centers who think they are entitled to a community’s power source should be including renewable power in their plans. Let them pay for their own power

Those business need to sign-on for long-term-responsibility for the water

they may need, and to sign-on BEFORE the companies start. And while we're at it,

unplug from the wasteful and dangerous bitcoin/wallet syndicate.

Chill, Donny, chill!

Unfortunately, most of my family and friends are MAGA and I rarely if ever speak to them since the '24 election. I just got terribly fed up after 10 years. As an active duty member of the resistance for 10 years I've had ups and downs when thinking if we're winning or not. There has certainly been a lot of wins on the national, state, and local levels, but there won't be any real victory until democrats take back congress. To those people I do speak to, fellow resistance members, I say, "Keep on plugging away and keep contacting your reps! Boycott trump regime corporations! It's all you can do!"

Julie's avatar

That is a tough place to be in with your family and friends, Kevin. Know that you have a strong community here to lean on and connect with in these difficult times.

kevin oldham's avatar

Thank you, Julie ✊️

Your first question is very easy for me to answer, Scott! Anytime anyone whether a friend, family member, maga or stranger expresses their view that the resistance isn't winning, I simply direct them to your substack! I tell them to go there every day and see for themselves! As for the second question, all I can say is I hope they do! I would love to see those ICE thugs be held accountable! Keep fighting, America! We definitely ARE winning! Stay strong and stay safe!

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Thanks Scott! The ICE kidnapping charges will continue to trial. Holding those who think they’re above the law accountable is our cities highest priority!

The Hennepin County prosecutor has state charges ready to file against the ICE agents who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The DOJ has refused to release the body cam footage and other evidence. Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a lawsuit about this suppression of evidence.

I tell them, “Read Scott Dworkin” daily. When faced with the “overload” of what dt does, it helps to know the fighting back is daily and it is working! Thank you Scott for keeping my head above water.

Sam Jones's avatar

Thanks for your kind words, Georgia!

I would tell the people who don't think anything is working in the resistance to check independent news-such as yours. I would tell them that as dark as it is, there are forces working, not talked about on corporate media, who are making changes behind the scenes that truly impact us in positive ways. I understand full well how discouraging it is, on a daily basis. So hard! But then, I read encouraging news from you Scott, & other independent journalists & I have hope. Thank you.

As for ICE, I deeply hope that they are investigated!

Patricia Gibbons's avatar

Little by little, we’re clawing our way back to democracy. Thank you, Scott, for documenting the wins. We need that sense of success to keep us going!

People who know truth will make us free fail to consider what happens to people when truth is no longer on their radar. Propaganda is designed to subconsciously rewire a person’s brain to achieve a specific outcome that could otherwise fail.

Propaganda has nothing to do with ‘free’ speech intended to protect alternative views of true facts. It was never intended to bury truth under a mountain of lies.

Truth is the essence of God. The faithful worship truth.

Truth keeps us free. Lies convince us to repudiate the facts, and convince us to surrender our human and civil rights.

The civil right embedded in free speech is that we have the right to know and tell others what is happening, what it means, and what the outcomes are likely to be.

Sam Jones's avatar

It’s scary how fast it takes hold and people don’t realize how far into it they’ve sunk!

“For people in your life who think the resistance isn’t winning, what do you tell them?”

I say, “Talk to me in November. And hey, how do you like my new butterfly tee shirt that says this is the only orange monarch I want?”

Wis's avatar

(Auntie: Great shirt and great retort! I’ll need to get or make a tee like that!👏)
