Love Melts ICE - concert and rally in Newport OR April 18, 2026
The Love Melts ICE benefit concert and rally in Newport April 18 raised nearly $1800 for organizations that support Latino communities in Oregon. (You can still donate.)

We at The Coin Chronicle don’t focus on breaking news, but last night’s special election for redistricting Virginia is a game changer! See this morning’s coverage from PBS on this.

“I did not wake up back in October and say, ‘I really feel like changing the constitution today for no good reason.’ But when a bully punches you in the face — not twice, but three or four times — at some point, you got to fight back.” —  Delegate Rodney Willett, who carried the legislation to amend the Virginia Constitution and enable the redraw.
