  • Immigrant Rights, Election Protection, and Mombie Zombies

    Immigrant Rights, Election Protection, and Mombie Zombies
    Oct 31 2026
    In this Halloween edition of Good News for Lefties, Wendy King shares stories of people defending voting rights, protecting the right to legal representation, restoring wildlife, and turning a little Halloween mischief into a force for good. Immigration legal-services groups are suing to stop the Trump administration from hiding the locations of thousands of people facing deportation, arguing the change makes it harder for detainees to find lawyers and defend their rights. Meanwhile, a federal appeals court has again rejected the administration’s effort to set aside 20,000 California ballots it claims may have been cast by noncitizens, finding the plan could cause serious harm to the election system. Wendy also covers a New Jersey bill that would keep federal law enforcement and military personnel away from polling places and ballot drop boxes, amid concerns that their presence could intimidate voters. And former FBI Director James Comey is asking a court to dismiss federal charges against him, with his attorneys arguing the government failed to secure a grand jury indictment before the statute of limitations expired. Plus, American Prairie’s bison herd has topped 1,000 for the first time, an encouraging milestone in the effort to restore the Great Plains. And Fairfield, Connecticut’s “Mombies”—moms who first came together to perform Thriller as a Halloween flash mob—have built a joyful community and raised more than $1.4 million for breast cancer research. Join Wendy for these stories and more, and share the episode with someone who could use a little Halloween-season optimism. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
