    Mad Mags asked Wally Sound to let his dub spirit and sensibility run wild. The result is very pleasing! Take a trad hornpipe and add some Jamaican Dub stylings. Call it a tribute to the long history of Irish in the Carribean. 🙂

    I take this opportunity to remind any locals that I am a whistle producer, hit me up if you have need in northwest King County.

    (Or Southwest Snohomish, I can do that. Particularly on Tuesdays at the Tesla Takedown protest.)

    "This whistle fights fascists

    How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE.

    Kit Rocha and Courtney Milan have a knack for drawing attention to a cause. The bestselling romance novelists helped raise half a million dollars for Georgia voting rights in 2020. Now, their cause is whistles, because whistles let neighbors alert each other when they see ICE agents abducting people. They’ve helped create a group that’s shipped a half million free 3D-printed whistles to 49 US states — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone.
    Even I print whistles now. It’s the first thing I do each morning after dropping kids at school, and the very last before bed. Usually, I squeeze in a hundred more after dinner.

    I print whistles because reality still matters; whistles get neighbors to come running, make sure enough people are recording, so when the regime pretends there’s only one camera angle of Renee Good’s death, we know the truth."

    We’d like to take a moment to discuss an infographic and thread shared by Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) with regard to the use of whistles in grass roots community defense strategy against ICE, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and the police.

  10. I've seen 3D plans for loud whistles. I don't have a 3D printer myself yet, but is it safe to put 3D printed stuff in your mouth? I know that there are ones that use plastic and ones that use resin, and I thought the resin ones were more toxic. But isn't plastic also a problem?

  11. #Maine communities, businesses grapple with the fallout of #ICE surge

    "On a residential street in Portland's Parkside neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, several residents honked car horns and blew #whistles and #airhorns as several ICE agents get into unmarked vehicles and pull off down the block.

    "It was unclear if the agents had arrested anyone.

    "A woman who gave her name only as Olivia said she lives nearby, and responded when she heard that ICE agents were in the area.

    " 'Came out, walked around, found them. There are a lot of other folks out here with whistles and bull horns trying to alert folks,' she said.

    "Olivia said she witnessed an immigration arrest earlier that day just up the block."

  16. It's amazing how low the bar is for a pretty decent day. Trump got shut down on Greenland, Trump got shut down on tariffs, Canada's just fucken done and Europe finally seems to be listening. Normally today would've been a disaster, but by recent terms? It's not bad.

    Being shut down on Greenland et al will mean naturally he and his crowd will take it out on people domestically, though, so get ready for it.

    (Need whistle kits? I've got another 24 off the printer today.)

  17. lol look how much filament was left after the latest round of whistles finished printing while I was out today ^_^

    I’ve done even better, but this is still very good for a long / large print.

  18. somebody just requested 20-30 whistles

    i'm saying how about we try 15 because that only leaves me 5 and there are people who haven't got back to me yet

    (whistles 51-62 are on the printer now but won't be ready 'til tomorrow)

  19. Mischief, a toy store in St. Paul, Minnesota, was interviewed by ABC News about distributing free whistles for citizens to alert their neighbors of ICE activity. Three hours after airtime, two plainclothes ICE agents arrived at their door and demanded proof that the store’s employees could legally work in the country.

    ST. PAUL, Minn. — At 1 p.m. Friday, ABC News aired an interview with Abigail Adelsheim-Marshall, who owns St. Paul’s Mischief Toy Store with her parents Dan Marshall and Millie Adelsheim. She discussed the store’s decision to distribute free whistles that citizens have been using to alert neighbors of the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

    “She delivered a very strident anti-ICE message, which we’re incredibly proud of,” said Dan Marshall. “Three hours later, two plainclothes ICE agents came into our store and served us with a Notice of Inspection.”

    Related Federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota

    The agents were asking for I-9 documents — which prove people are legal to work in this country — from the store’s employees. Marshall said the store has been audited for various things in the past, but this was different. For starters, the notice listed the store by its name, rather than its legal name Mischief LLC, which has been used in every other government document the store has received. Also, Marshall said, he was alerted to previous audits by mail, not by in-person agents.

    “In 27 years of being retailers in St. Paul, we’ve never been audited for this,” he said. “We have five part-time employees and three owners. So tell me why they want to waste time on five part-time employees. But here we are.”

    Representatives for DHS and ICE did not respond to a request for comment.

    “It’s traumatizing to see my neighbors being terrorized. It’s one of the worst things I’ve seen in my life. But I’m also feeling defiant. This is an attempt to silence us and it’s going to do the opposite.” — Dan Marshall, co-owner of Mischief Toy Store

    The owners of Mischief Toy Store have been outspoken in opposition to both ICE and President Trump. In April, the store joined a lawsuit with a handful of other retailers and manufacturers against the U.S. government in an effort to roll back international tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.

    Marshall’s daughter Ada Adelsheim was working when the ICE agents arrived. They flashed IDs, but Adelsheim didn’t take a photo of them. The agents left behind paperwork for the store to complete. The store’s lawyer, who specializes in small business legal issues, told Marshall numerous immigrant-owned businesses have also been hit with this audit.

  22. Well that's pleasant. Not everybody follows through on these things, but if they do, I'm down to, uh... needing to start a new batch of emergency whistles and booklets already.

    Nice. I like that.

    If you're thinking about it don't let that stop you, I am 100% starting a new batch later today, once the printer's free again.

  23. #AntiICE #Whistles: Communities Turn to Old Tactics to Fight New Threats

    From Bangkok to Brooklyn, whistles have played a vital role in #resistance movements for decades.

    Sebastián Sturla for Brave of US

    Jan 05, 2026

    Excerpt: "Those carrying the whistles follow a simple code: three short bursts to indicate the presence of ICE and three long blows for an active detainment. Utilizing whistles in this way is the latest iteration of what Camarena calls a 'tried-and-true' method of resistance. Novel on the national scale, the act of literally ‘blowing the whistle’ has been instrumental in numerous movements both abroad and domestically."

  25. Why are people blowing whistles during #BorderPatrol raids in #NorthCarolina? What to know

    By Renee Umsted, November 18, 2025

    #InTheseTimes also mentioned these #AntiICE #whistles in the latest issue...

    "How to use whistles during ICE raids

    Two types of whistle blows indicate different spottings.

    - Blowing whistles in short bursts alerts people that agents are in the area.
    - Blowing whistles in a long blast alerts people that agents are detaining someone.

    In response to the whistles, bystanders can either move to safety or, to help spread awareness of agents in the area, head toward the sound and form a crowd."
