I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

We had a lot of discussion early on about "what if someone requests 100 whistles and doesn't know how to use them effectively" but our inbox tells us that 100 whistles is also dozens of potential interactions with people in their community, along with a new feeling of agency and determination.
It's a side effect, but I'm seeing printing whistles act as a useful on-ramp for a lot of folks who are pretty new to engaging in political activity other than voting and yelling at the news.
I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.
The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.
While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism.
As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot.
Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Police, not ICE, arrested around 100 clergy *yesterday* for participating in peaceful resistance against ICE. If Minnesota has "had it" then MN Democrats should do something about it and quit criminalizing the people willing to put their actual bodies on the line to say they've had it!
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
