Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.

My roommate watched a woman get dragged from her car, bleeding and screaming for help, being disappeared by ICE. They were recording and I’ve seen the video. I’ll probably never forget it. I carry a whistle now but I pray I’ll never need it. We’re like two weeks into whatever the fuck this is and I’m already sick of it. I’m tired of running to the window every time I hear a car alarm, I’m tired of wondering if I hear the wind or a whistle. I’m tired of worrying about more people I know getting abducted, and scrutinizing every vehicle that drives past if they’re going to fuck with me because I’m visibly queer and also trying not to be mistaken for the gestapo occupying my city. Is this an occupation? And I know war is worse. Fuck all of this.

What’s the whistle for? I think I may be out of the loop on this.

Lots of people are carrying whistles to blow if they see ICE, with the effect of calling more people with whistles to the scene to surround /harrass/confused ICE, and additionally warning neighborhoods of ICE presence.

Ah, interesting. Has it been working effectively? I could imagine ICE attempting to lure them away using a whistle of their own to create a false alarm.
Is there a specific whistle that they use? If any whistle will do, I can vouch for this one. It’s really loud.

I’ve printed and given away about 150 of these so far
Compact, strong, easy to print, and loud!

It’s not much different from a rape whistle I would guess
