The Hypocrisy is the Point
There is always fine print that says, “but only for us.”

Something I've been thinking about for years and needed to write. Stop debating right wingers and ceding any ground to them. Call them out for what they are: unrepentant fascists. They bask in their own rank hypocrisy as a power play. Instead, focus your energy on making a better world without them.
I’m sorry but trying to shut down the use of whistles through a thin veneer of trauma reduction is extremely sinister. Do you think it’s more traumatizing to hear whistles or to watch people get kidnapped and murdered?
Some nonprofit organizations have been trying to suppress the rapid response tactics that have emerged from LA, Chicago, and the Twin Cities.
ICE is kidnapping hundreds of thousands of people, ruining their lives. This is not a situation in which non-profits should be suppressing effective tactics.

Trump supporters are claiming that whistles should be “considered a violent weapon,” that their use constitutes “interference” with immigration enforcement operations or even “assault.”
In other words—the rapid response networks are working. The whistles are working.

This is like a scene out of Monty Python.
ICE agents get a name back from face recognition and multiple agents start calling out "Maria! Maria!" to see if a woman in custody reacts. (Presumably if she does that's a match???)
It didn't work, so they ran the app again and got another name.
