  • Judge Says Trump Violated Free Speech Rights and Gov. Spanberger Ends ICE Collaboration

    Judge Says Trump Violated Free Speech Rights and Gov. Spanberger Ends ICE Collaboration
    Jan 25 2026
    In this episode of Good News for Lefties, your weekend host Wendy King has uplifting stories that deliver remarkable strides in democracy and community well-being.

    1. First off - Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's bold veto of Executive Order 47, which ended local law enforcement's collaboration with ICE, marking a significant victory for immigrant rights advocates. This decision reflects the power of organized communities and the pivotal role of Latino voters in shaping political outcomes in the state.
    2. A federal judge's ruling blocks the Trump's administration from enforcing restrictive voting measures in Oregon and Washington, reaffirming the principle that states, not the federal government, regulate elections. This ruling is a major win for voters and reinforces the importance of accessible voting rights.
    3. Wendy highlights a federal judge's condemnation of the Trump administration's policies that threaten the free speech rights of non-citizens on college campuses, emphasizing that everyone in the U.S. deserves constitutional protections.
    4. In California, lawmakers are pushing for bills to streamline the adoption of clean energy technologies, aiming to lower utility costs and combat the rising cost of living. These initiatives could empower residents to take control of their energy future.
    5. Next, we share a listener-suggested story about a maintenance worker who received a settlement after a Border Patrol agent pointed a gun at him, illustrating the ongoing need for accountability in law enforcement.
    6. And finally, after an overpopulation of moose devastated a beaver habitat in the western part of Rocky Mountain National Park - a team of scientists are joining together to build a series of dams to encourage the beavers in the park to return and hopefully revive the ecology.

    Join us as we explore these uplifting stories that showcase the resilience of communities and the ongoing fight for justice and equality!
