I love it when men decide it’s better to be right than helpful or kind. Also I’m probably blocking a lot of very smart leftist academics today

Kids "learn that calling 911 is dangerous. They learn that police are not there to protect them. They learn that even citizenship does not guarantee safety when your family is undocumented. And they learn, most devastatingly, that they are disposable."

[previously in the NYT] Hart: i've sold AI to to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook and by gum it put them on the map NYT: wow! sounds legit! Hart: and look! i've got your nose! NYT: OH MY GAWD NYT: are you a wizard??

anyways I invite the NYT to ride on I-94 in Indiana (an entirely illegal weed state) and witness America in action via billboards: WEED FIREWORKS CIGARETTES ALCOHOL WEED PERSONAL INJURY FIRM WEED FIREWORKS FIREWORKS WEED MOTORCYCLE ATTORNEY CIGARETTES WEED FIREWORKS CABIN CONSTRUCTION WEED FIREWORKS

I’m not on the map but this was crazy

Okay I’m watching some of it and I’m crying when he shouts out all the nations of the Americas and independence for PR too. It’s a glimpse of the world I want to fucking live in

Here’s a gift link if you need it. Amazing reporting from Sean, who has embedded with our whistle crew not just for a story, but because it’s the right thing to do. www.theverge.com/policy/87495...

if you wanna cry go search up the videos of people from smaller latin american countries crying that they saw their flags on the super bowl, it’s so fucking awesome what he was able to do last night.

“On the day after the raid, half the students in Wilder, where more than 70 percent of the school population is Latino, skipped class.”

Most political performances don't accomplish anything this concrete btw. I applaud the people who've pulled this off.

Here is the other printer who is almost out of filament!!! amzn.to/3Zn8Qw3

GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS! We have a whistle printer who is almost out of filament! If you've been waiting for your chance, one spool can turn into ~500 whistles!!! amzn.to/4afNzux

Please buy a couple items off this list if you can! It will help street medics in some of the most terrorized parts of the Twin Cities

Gift shop in the Minneapolis airport is selling "ICE OUT of St. Paul" posters next to cute onesies and fridge magnets.

People keep complaining about the red hats because they’re not “real” protest but that lady has raised and donated over $600,000 to her neighbors in MN *and* is the the daughter of a refugee from Egypt. Y’all gotta sit with those impulses and then calm tf down and think about WHY you feel dismissive

I’m neither an intellectual nor a comedian but the map is correct that I try to be both

bawitdaba actually had something of an ecumenical message but i guess it went downhill after that

Damn it sounds like I really missed something not watching the halftime show

This is kind of an aside / relevant to Bad Bunny's Americas shout out... but the seven continent model we're taught in the US isn't universal. Some countries teach a six or even five continent model. The six-continent model (which unites North and South America) is common in Latin America

I made a joke in line at Chipotle about how “apparently there’s a sportsball thing happening tonight” and everyone was so delighted by my cynical charm that they let me go behind the counter and eat the toppings directly out of the containers.

Dan’s piece is extremely good. I’m honored to be connected with the whistle crew, and it’s very fun to joke about my vertically integrated whistle packing party supply chain

the nazis have once again forgotten one of the most important rules in combat: never get involved in a logistics war with the americans

Lemme tell you, getting unmarked ziploc bags of 200 whistles in my mailbox made me feel like I was a freaking spy.

first rule of whistle goblin club is that you just keep talking about giving away whistles

As a whistle goblin, I just wanted y’all to know I don’t even require you to answer a riddle to get a whistle.

A neighbor asked me if I knew where to get a free whistle. I asked for a bunch from @dansinker.com's whistle crew and put bowls of them out at my workshop and apt courtyard, and my neighbors are taking them and we're talking together about anti-ICE actions.

Gonna drop off my 5,000th whistle tomorrow - between the in persons and being in the inbox fielding the requests, I gotta say it’s been extremely motivating to see just how many people are taking steps to try and protect their communities, especially considering we’re just one group of whistlesmiths

Y'all, we did it. 💕 This crew of chaotic nerds has sent half a million whistles to people requesting them, for free. With your help! Need whistles? linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

It's pretty clear most of the people with power aren't gonna show up for us. But we can show up for each other every day, and we don't have to wait for them to give us permission. And I can't tell you how much hope you can have when you're talking to organizers kicking ass every day.

I told @ziibiing.com a few days ago that I wanted to sponsor rent for a family in Minneapolis, but then my brain collapsed. So @lefttheprairie.bsky.social used $3,300 of our surplus money from our GFM to pay the rent. We were going to fundraise to get it back, but I'd rather you send it here!

Abolish. You can’t bodycam this shit. Abolish must be the hard red line.

shoutout to everyone who's childhood "Tupperware" was all used food containers so you ended up asking where the rest of the lasagna was and it was in the potato salad Tupperware no not the mustard potato salad the regular one wait what's in the mustard one oh no can you clean that out

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I just want to thank folks who use this platform for being the kind of people who want to do good and are committed to supporting other people doing good. Seeing stuff take off like @ziibiing.com’s Stand With Minnesota and the 3D printed whistle group (too many of you to tag!!) just warms my heart

tomorrow, StandWithMinnesota.com will hit a million site visits and over 650,000 unique visitors. i made it 10 days ago with $600 from you guys for hosting and cloudflare. thank you. thank you.

i cannot stress enough that the phillips folks are freaking miracle workers. they are getting shit done, your money will move fast with them.

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries. There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

Because Democrats have been voting with Republicans in bipartisan support of the fascist ICE agency going back to 2003 when George Bush started it, with increases in funding & detentions of innocent people year over year over year. That's why.

I know we have to stand together with everyone who means well and does good, but making puns with the names of the dead and fixating on their US citizenship are both so icky to me. If you’re making a protest sign, could you pic a different direction?

you give me and the fellas 24 ice cold high life bottles and we’ll come up with 8-12 new must see Winter Olympics sports, I know that

I thought a party was this weekend but it’s next weekend and now I’m mildly concerned I triple booked next Saturday but I can’t remember what the third thing is

Would love to see more of the angle followed by journalists to show how much we’re spending to detain or deport each person. But also how their efficiency of abduction is getting smaller and smaller. They have to use 20 agents just to change a flat

Update: They succeeded: www.mississippifreepress.org/byhalia-ice-...

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

I think we’ve finally answered why Austin Powers’ penis enlargement pump was Swedish-made

When we went to Minneapolis, @bibliogrrl.bsky.social showed me her puffer skirt, and it was the first one I’d seen. Now they’re everywhere in Olympic fashion. STYLE ICON.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Wild how every time I see a screenshot of an email now I assume it’s from the Epstein files
