Standing out in #Minneapolis demonstrations are whistles blaring.

Prepared outdoor enthusiasts carry “survival whistles” for safety.

A standard referee whistle hits 113 decibels.

A survival whistle hits 120 db.

Some even hit 150 db.

Consider adding a survival whistle to your outdoor safety kit.

The anti ICE Olympic protestors in Italy are holding signs for Minneapolis, Alex and Renee. And they are blowing whistles. Minneapolis whistles have become a global symbol for protesting oppression.

Y'all, we just passed 200,000 whistles shipped in the first week of February. 💖

We're less than 3k away from the 500k total mark.

Thanks for helping us get there.

Whistles are a tool used by communities.

It is the communities that fight fascism. The whistles are just a way to aid communities in becoming communities. And the thing we do is just a tiny part of that.

This is a truly great program that is already benefiting several folks I know. AND you are letting down thousands more Minnesotan workers and parents being targeted and terrorized by ICE by refusing to provide an eviction moratorium or any other direct relief.

We’re one month into Minnesota’s nation-leading paid leave program, and families are already seeing the benefit.

In Minnesota, we stand by the workers who drive our economy - whether you’re welcoming a new baby or taking care of a sick family member.

Everyone is citing this CBS News article for the "most watched halftime show ever" statistic but CBS doesn't actually cite where *it* got the information, just saying "early figures" so it could be completely made up https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show
