Oh, and if you need a guide on how to 3D-print your own whistles for ICE awareness, there are printables linked in our story:
The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

I do slightly think that what is happening in Chicago could be the beginnings of a non-violent civil disobedience movement that goes way beyond just like, No Kings protests, and could grow quite a lot
This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area.
“We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.
Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

When I run errands these days, I make sure I have my keys, my phone and my whistle. I wear the whistle in case I spot Homeland Security thugs terrorizing people and need to alert my neighbors. Lots of people are wearing them.
That’s how Trump has changed life in my hometown, Evanston, IL.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.
