Today’s Great News (For Everyone Except Trump)

New Mexico bans ICE contracts, Newsom shines in Munich, AOC demands Bondi’s impeachment, and Mark Kelly calls out Trump's NATO Betrayal


With the constant dumpster fire burning at the White House, I’m so glad to share today’s great news with you. I hope these stories serve as proof that your resistance is delivering real results.

Don’t forget to hit the ❤️ like and re-stack buttons to make sure Substack shows this post to more people. By doing so, you’re not just reading—you’re helping us fight back and amplifying the resistance.

Thanks for being here. Let’s jump in.

FIREWALL BUILDING AGAINST TRUMP

Rebellion against the Trump regime is spreading fast.

This month, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the Immigrant Safety Act into law, banning all public agencies from entering into contracts with ICE to detain people for civil immigration violations. It’s one of the boldest direct challenges to Trump’s deportation machine in the country.

Hartford, Connecticut, moved to end its ICE contract. In Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan met with Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt four times to pressure her into signing a detention agreement—she didn’t budge an inch. And Gov. Tim Walz is betting on the people, proposing a $10 million relief package for small businesses devastated by Trump’s raids.

But the truth is these officials aren’t leading the resistance. They’re following it.

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, high schoolers walked out of their classes—one holding a sign that read: “My classmates aren’t illegal.” In South Carolina and Indiana, citizens gathered to protest new ICE offices. And in Dallas County, Texas, warehouse owners said no to a federal detention center.

From coast to coast, the message is clear: get ICE out of our communities. This is the resistance—and it’s forcing results.

ALLIES GIVE UP ON TRUMP

Trump was repeatedly raked over the coals this weekend at the Munich Security Conference.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz revealed he has been holding private talks with French President Emmanuel Macron about developing a European nuclear deterrence program. Merz put it bluntly: “The United States’ claim to leadership has been challenged, and possibly lost.”

Denmark said they still aren’t buying Trump’s pledge to not invade Greenland. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called Trump’s threats “unacceptable.”

After holding more than a dozen meetings with foreign leaders, Veteran and astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly dropped the hammer: “When Secretary Rubio said the ‘old world order was dead’ during his speech in Munich, he was right. It’s dead because Donald Trump blew it up.”

Kelly added: “I know there was celebration at the end of the Munich Security Conference. Unfortunately, the champagne corks were popping in Beijing and Moscow.”

CALIFORNIA STEPS UP

While Trump was busy losing the world’s trust, Gov. Gavin Newsom was in Munich trying to rebuild it. On Saturday, he signed a memorandum of understanding with Ukraine, committing California as a “steady transatlantic partner.” It was a pledge to strengthen trade ties and help fund reconstruction in areas Putin has destroyed.

Newsom told world leaders what they desperately needed to hear: “Donald Trump is temporary. He’ll be gone in three years,” urging them not to let “three years of doubling down on stupid destroy seventy-five years of shared destiny.”

This is the new reality of American diplomacy. Since Trump won’t lead, others will.

FACT CHECK: TRUMP’S BOARD OF PEACE

Ahead of Thursday’s meeting of his fake “Board of Peace,” Trump announced that members have already pledged $5 billion to rebuild Gaza.

There’s one massive problem. The United Nations, World Bank, and European Union estimate reconstruction will cost a minimum of $70 billion. So Trump only has about 7% of what’s actually needed—money that doesn’t even exist yet—and may never.

This isn’t a Board of Peace. It’s a propaganda vehicle for dictators who want to look peaceful when they are anything but. That’s probably why France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom have all declined to join.

AOC DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY ON WORLD STAGE

Just days after Pam Bondi melted down with her zero-star performance in front of the House, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the AG hard.

Speaking before 1,100 students at a university in Berlin, AOC said: “You are the Attorney General of the United States of America and you don’t want to hold any one of these [Epstein] pedophiles accountable? Resign or be impeached!”

Bondi is acting as Trump’s personal lawyer, spying on members of Congress, and running the biggest coverup in American history—all while serving as the highest law enforcement officer in the land.

Corporate media won’t present the news to you like this. They’re too busy kissing Trump’s ring. Too beholden to billionaires and advertisers to ever organize against him.

Scott, and everyone else, I leave you with Rev Jackson's words

"If Dr. King and our civil rights movement have taught us anything, it's the fundamental principle that all people deserve equal protection under the law."

I was a lawyer for 48 years. That statement is the cornerstone of our nation, and it still stands.

New Mexico's legislature is also beginning investigations into crimes committed in it's state and Zorro Ranch as regards reports of abuse and even possible murder related to Epstein and associates!!!!! Right on New Mexico!!!


AOC... just a brilliant woman! Mark Kelly and Newsom... smart and glad they are decent humans on the right side of history.

Momentum keeps building every day. And the news about the judge ordering the regime to reinstall the Philadelphia signs about the history of slavery! YES!


When allies publicly question U.S. reliability and states move to block ICE contracts, that’s not “great news for resistance.” It’s evidence that federal policy is destabilizing institutions at home and abroad.

If leadership creates chaos, people and governments will counterbalance it. That’s not hysteria. That’s self-preservation.


Lots of student led walkouts here in Massachusetts!


My message? Put up a united front, boycott the World Cup, sanction all oligarch trump supporters and don’t allow them into your countries until he’s gone, and stop allowing Marco Rubio and all the other trump stooges a platform on the world stage. Just say no. Remove the regime; you will not only save our humanity but also the planet.


And I would add Scott and Cheryl: Investigate and prosecute the American Social Media companies for privacy violations and political bias against democracy.


I would tell our allies to hang tight; take care of yourselves first. Build strength in your country so you can make choices that benefit your citizens. And, once the catastrophe in the U.S. is over, be open to trusting us again.


Wow Scott, Great Read today! I love reading about the fight!- against detainment camps FDT, New Mexico and other governors banning ICE. I love AOC, Newsom and Mark Kelly Speaking OUT! And the Board of Dictators Real Estate SCAM in Gaza that the coin-operated conman felon, jared and whitkoff thought they could start...glad it isn't going anywhere, but the 3 got $5m for their effort is shameful! FDT


My message to American allies? I was thinking about this last night as I was trying to fall asleep. I think it's important that our allies recognize that TT is NOT America. His regime is NOT America and they are temporary. Americans still want our allies, our friends, and we need their support, even if it's only in recognition of how the American people are responding to TT and his regime. I can understand very well that our allies don't feel they can count on the American government anymore, but they need to understand that the American people feel the same way. I wish there were a mechanism for us to communicate with them. We need to let them know that the American people still honor our friendship and alliance with them. And no, we don't want Greenland and don't want Canada as our 51st state! And we don't want America to turn into a Russian province. Thank you.


Trump is an American infection. We are fighting him/it off well with our Resistance. Please have patience with us.

America is not Trump and We The People do not waiver in our alliance and loyalty to our allies.

We are doing our utmost to wake up Americans who are deeply asleep.

We cannot do much with stupid except leave it behind. It’s painful-some are family-but our American decency comes first.


Not since WWII has there been a resistance quite like this. The internet is the resistance medium, particularly when the mainstream networks are caving!


My message to our allies: "In the darkest days of 1939 and 1940 you probably thought you were alone, without us. Lindberg was yelling: STAY OUT and he drew much of America to that. But we didn't stay out. And we sure as Hell will not stay out of it now. If you doubt, just look at Trump's approval rating, barely above one in three. We will be rid of him in three years, and the House will be Democrat in November. HANG IN THERE. We fought with you in WW II and we will fihjy with you now. And especially to Canada, Stick with us.
