I post this link merely as a cultural curiosity and not so that anyone could print one if, say, whistles were banned. Obviously that would be wrong.
Who knew a retractable desktop vuvuzela is something we’d all want someday?

The technical issue is, the company's gone fascist.
TikTok users say they can’t upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues
Why can’t TikTokers upload anti-ICE videos? | CNN Business
Some TikTok users are accusing the app of censorship after they attempted and failed to upload videos about ICE. TikTok says the ongoing glitches are related to a power outage.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

My order from K&J Magnetics were supposedly delivered Saturday, but I never got the package. I know it's not their fault, but I can't afford to replace $50 worth of magnets *and* pay extra for better shipping. I'll be buying magnets at Amazon from now on, which sucks but I know I'll get them.

As someone whose grandparents were part of the illegal press during WWII while also hiding Jewish people in their house, words can't express enough how much this makes my stomach turn.
To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.
