Chicago and Portland just showed the country how to turn panic into power. When red state leaders tried to project strength by sending troops and staging immigration theatrics, these cities answered with law, logistics, and people. Mayors drew bright lines. Schools, parks, and libraries became ICE free. Police were told not to assist. Neighbors surrounded convoys with cameras, calm voices, and a wall of bodies that refused to be provoked. Courts moved. Councils organized. Organizers kept the streets disciplined and the optics impossible for authoritarians to spin. We have the latest news and videos that prove it. Here is the blueprint you can use tonight. Keep it peaceful, visible, and consistent. Show up daily. Film everything. Starve raids of staging space. Pack hearings. Boycott collaborators. Protect each other and keep the humor sharp, because laughter exposes abuse and lowers the temperature on the street. We pulled the freshest clips and broke down what worked, what did not, and how to scale the wins in your city. Hit play, steal the tactics, and join the line.
