From a Reddit post about ICE in LA.
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt under their police vest is a very intentional choice. This seems like a Boogaloo boy who is also a thug agent of the state.
LA friends - be careful out there and make sure folks are aware of what is happening.

We have now shipped 432,367 whistles all across the country. 135,000 in February alone.
And we could not have done it without y'all.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.
Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

In honor of the fact that we have now shipped 100,000 whistles in February (yes, in FEWER THAN FOUR DAYS) I would like to celebrate by sharing a glimpse of what it is like to be in the group chat. 🤣

It’s day 65 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today Homan announced a “drawdown” of 700 agents. Which leaves 2000 agents still in the state- a number that was unprecedented just 5 weeks ago.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

This is my first time printing with Protopasta filament and I might be in love with this color (“Mermaid’s Tale”). It doesn’t hurt that they are actively helping the whistle printing efforts via donations and gave me the first filament roll I can turn into compost either.

Revving is a sign of comraderie.
Non-gearheads do not understand this.
Revving is only a threat if the vehicle is pointed at you. Bikers and Jeepers/off roaders rev in *support*. (Harleys and Jeepers also have a modified wave we do at each other, iykyk)

During the anti-ICE ride thru Oakland we kept getting split by cars. At one light, a big dude on a motorcycle in full leathers watched us pass while revving his engine. We waved. He scowled.
20 min later we saw him again, scowling, blocking traffic for us as we turned down Broadway. Solidarity.
