Fearless In Dearborn
 |
Pardoned Jan 6 defendant Jake Lang planned his latest trip to Dearborn, Michigan, for weeks. He promoted it as a “Christian Crusader March” online, and told The Detroit News that he expected trouble.
There were at least six law enforcement agencies on the scene. Hundreds of demonstrators filled the streets around the Henry Ford Centennial Library, where the city had moved its council meeting.
Lang arrived wearing a bulletproof vest—to a public library. Seriously. He got two about minutes to speak, just like everybody else. He tore pages from a Quran on his way out, after Council President Michael Sareini had him removed.
After that, Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud talked about a young boy. That morning, he said, the boy walked up to him at a park and asked if the “crusaders” were coming to kill him. Hammoud paused so long that the police officer walking with him stepped in to tell the child he’d be safe. At the meeting, Hammoud answered the boy directly: “Go be a kid. Go play with your friends. Laugh too loudly, get in trouble at home.” The room gave him a standing ovation.
The council meeting started on time and finished without incident. Twenty-two people were arrested outside and nobody was hurt. Lang wore body armor into a library and left with nothing.
They Had Proof He Was Innocent
 |
The Trump regime dropped its case against David Hearn three weeks ago. This week we learned why.
Hearn is a former Olympic canoeist. Jeanine Pirro’s office charged him with destruction of property for allegedly pulling at peeling material floating in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
In a filing this week, prosecutors produced an email dated June 11 where a National Park Service engineer told the Interior Department the pool’s lining was already coming apart. The engineer said it was due to the contractor’s overspray, and warned that the loose layer was very thin and that more of it would peel.
Hearn didn’t visit the pool until June 19. The grand jury indicted him on July 2.
Assistant US Attorney Michael Spence wrote that the engineer’s account casts “significant doubt” that Hearn caused any damage. He wrote that the documents “would sabotage the government’s ability to meet its burden of proof.” He added that prosecutors didn’t receive them until weeks after the indictment.
Somebody inside the Interior Department was holding the proof while a grand jury voted.
San Diego’s Neighbors Just
Evicted ICE
 |
Thanks to contracts signed in 2021, ICE was allowed to train at San Diego County’s firing range. They were worth an estimated $126,780, which made them small enough that administrators could approve them without the elected board ever voting on it. Since 2024, agents have logged around 3,350 hours of training there.
Residents started pushing back hard after they caught wind of it. Community educator Alondra Alvarez was clear: “If the county is serious about saying that immigrant families should not fear their local government, then county-owned and county-leased property cannot be used to train the federal immigration agencies driving that fear.”
On Tuesday, three Democrats on the board voted to end it. Supervisor Paloma Aguirre didn’t hold back: “The federal government cannot terrorize our families all week and rent our firing range on the weekend: not on this county, not anymore.”
The money could no longer rent this county’s silence.
Two Governors, One Answer: No
 |
A year and a half ago, New York-based Doctor Margaret Carpenter was indicted by the state of Louisiana for prescribing abortion pills over telehealth visits. Louisiana’s governor asked New York to turn her in. Gov. Kathy Hochul said no. Established law allows Hochul to protect Dr. Carpenter.
On Thursday, Gov. Mikie Sherrill built the same kind of protection for New Jersey.
Now, no New Jersey officer can arrest a healthcare provider over legal care. Licensing boards can’t touch them, insurers can’t drop them, and the governor can’t turn them in for another state if they never set foot there.
Trenton City Councilwoman Jennifer Williams spent years pushing for this. On Thursday, she said the law “will save lives here in New Jersey.”
She’s not speaking hypothetically. Ask Dr. Carpenter.
The regime spent this week losing to a city, a county, a state, and an email it couldn’t bury. They are beatable. This is all proof of that.
The Dworkin Report exists to make sure you see those wins that are buried by the MAGA propaganda machine. And to investigate the regime in ways others won’t. Along with our enormous organizing machine both online and in Congressional offices. We do it all thanks to reader support.
So if you haven’t yet, join us today to help us flip Congress, together:

COMMENTS:
It is the quiet strength this regime cannot break.
A city that refused to be scared.
A mayor who chose hope over fear.
This is how we win — one act of courage at a time.
SCOTT - you left out the best part about JAKE LANG - he had others with him to incite a riot - they drove toward a crowd....MINNEAPOLIS WAS PREPARED - let the TROUBLE MAKERS drive off and subsequently arrested them! WELL DONE! WELL EXECUTED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC!
SAD WASTE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES FOR THESE THUGS!
Far-right instigator among those arrested for probable cause riot in Minneapolis, police say
By Chloe Rosen
Updated on: August 23, 2026
excerpt:
Police say Lang held a protest around noon in front of Minneapolis City Hall when he and two others, in two cars, unexpectedly drove onto the sidewalk and toward a crowd of counter-protesters.
"MPD had been aware of this demonstration for several weeks and developed a robust incident action in preparation for it," said Bill Peterson, the Interim Chief for the Minneapolis Police Department during a Saturday afternoon press conference.
"That plan included putting on duty significant numbers of personnel, working with our public safety partners and placing barricades outside City Hall designed to provide safe separation," Peterson added.
Police say a confrontation between the two groups happened quickly and chemical irritants were used by both sides. Police also say there is no evidence an MPD officer on scene deployed any irritant.
Shortly after, police say Lang and the two others fled the scene after their cars were overrun by counter-protesters.
"The best, that did occur, [is to] let those vehicles leave the area, which essentially did de-escalate things," Peterson said. "It was not safe for us to make any sort of arrest on those individuals in that large crowd."

Back when the Orange Baboon was first elected, one of my library TAs commented, 'Well, guess I'm going to be deported now.' That simply broke my heart and to this day, I have no idea what I should have said to reassure her. What could I say? False assurances that she wouldn't be? I couldn't promise that. Sadly, she did disappear a few months later and to this day, I have no idea where she is. Is it any wonder I abhor this entire regime?
When the FASCIST BOOK BAN LUNACY began, not many understood the threat....it took time for people to recognize that it was not isolated.
There was one loud, vocal BIMBO who got on a school committee, that was her only claim to fame - she didn't last long.
When we were kids, my parents had lots of books around that would have horrified people - but a kid would have to READ to understand the content and there were lots of BIG WORDS!
It has taken years for states to address BOOK BANS - but it's happening.
If a parent doesn't approve of books their child is reading, why aren't you going to the LIBRARY with your child?
You didn't indicate what state you live in, but hopefully it's being addressed now.
What is also interesting is the groups that have made BANNED BOOKS available.
We will have feelings like that until we remove everyone of the hateful, ignorant racists.
A city, a county, a state, and an email the regime tried to bury. All in one week. Regular people keep forcing them to lose!!
I love that two women with Hispanic surnames helped stop an Ice contract!!
Not enough people understand the history of BILL BAIRD being arrested for distributing FOAM on the steps of BU, nor do they understand that his actions were prompted from witnessing a woman DIE from an attempt to abort a pregnancy.

As it is, ANTI-ABORTION ZEALOTS are outraged at recent MASSACHUSETTS legislation that allows DOCTORS and WOMEN to make decisions about what is labelled as 'late term abortions.'
Much of the testimony has been gut-wrenching!
Pre-ROE V. WADE, a congresswoman spoke publicly about being forced to carry a DEAD FETUS to term.
The case that defined RICK SANTOURUM and his WIFE bringing a cold dead fetus home to BOND with their children defines what they would impose on others.
On the pool lining: “Paging Doug Burgum, the buck stops with you”
Are you sure? I'm inclined to believe the BUCK STOPS at FOX NEWS BOOB JEANNINE PIRRO for failure to GATHER THE FACTS before issuing an INDICTMENT!
JEANNINE PIRRO should be disbarred for this and her previous judicial actions - review her record.
in my opinion, the crusades were arrogant, blood thirsty soldiers looking for ways to be sadistic. Sounds like ice.
You would think that Christians would learn something about their religion and their main representative who was extremely pacifistic and inclusive.
It's interesting that these Crusaders show up totally protected with vile tools of destruction.
When are these folks gonna realize that we're all humans living on this planet with a bunch of other spirits in the forms of animals that belong here? They don't belong there. They belong here. Thanks for the Mayors supportive words. And as always, thank you for your excellent articles.

It’s so sad that children have to even think about people coming to town to hurt them. I love the response from the Dearborn mayor to that child but we can’t promise they will be safe. So stay alert and be willing to speak up when events are happening in your community. I must admit that one of my MANY frustrations with SCOTUS is when they won’t allow gun laws banning assault weapons. They weren’t around when the constitution was written so why do they continue to rule against rules regulating them. We should be able to decide what we want in our states. Fuck John Robert’s and I really hope they investigate his shady deals with his wife’s law firm
Oh, oh, oh! I didn't know anything about Robert's wife... but his recent ruling that the work on the catering hall can continue shows his base nature. He kept out witnesses when Trump was on trail for impeachment. That one man has so much power, and is an unelected official. gives me yet another reason to see him out of office.
WE were sitting in a MEDICAL WAITING ROOM too long and I didn't bring anything to read, so I wandered around and picked up a glossy magazine from a table - IT WAS A MAGAZINE FOR GUN ZEALOTS filled with lots of DISINFORMATION and LIES!
The STATISTICS were incorrect - I know because I had recently researched them in response to the GUN ZEALOTS in MASSACHUSETTS spewing similar MANURE!
This is the PROPAGANDA the ZEALOTS embrace.
Ssshhh! Don't tell anyone, but I scooped ALL OF THE GUN ZEALOT PROPAGANDA from PUBLIC EXPOSURE!
The tragedy of ASSAULT WEAPONS is that in MASS SHOOTINGS, such as UVALDE, VICTIMS are identified by DNA! So a parent buries BODY PARTS of their CHILD?
That's not a weapon for DEFENSE or HUNTING!
Does this mean that a state (like LA) can’t limit it, or tell pharmacies they can’t carry it? I came of age pre-Roe v. Wade when people were arrested for passing out birth control information in my state — Massachusetts, whose legislature at the time was dominated by Catholics who were very pro-labor but not big on women’s rights. (Or on school busing to achieve racial integration, but that’s another story.)
Not enough people understand the history of BILL BAIRD being arrested for distributing FOAM on the steps of BU, nor do they understand that his actions were prompted from witnessing a woman DIE from an attempt to abort a pregnancy.
