Lemme tell you: this collective of whistle-printing rogues that I'm lucky enough to be a part of? We've printed *and shipped* over 150,000 whistles THIS MONTH. Our output is only increasing. If you need whistles, we'll send you whistles free, no questions asked, 100+ or more: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

β€œWe cannot pursue our mission to improve the health and well-being of all Americans while DHS agents are murdering, assaulting, and terrorizing people who call this country home…We believe ICE and CBP are a greater threat to the health of our nation than the lapse of HHS services.”

Please stop following this grifting dipshit who posted a gofundme set up by another grifting dipshit. This person is only on bluesky to chase clout, stoke outrage, and sell merchandise. They aren’t even American, much less a member of the NPS!

An image of a volleyball against a blue background. The text says: In my home state  of Massachusetts, ICE  is hunting a man who has an expired visa. They find the man’s car, but the driver is just the  man’s son, a teen heading to volleyball practice. ICE arrests the teen.

A conversation between two people in speech bubbles: β€œDo you know why you’re under arrest?” β€œNo.” β€œBecause you’re illegal. You’re an immigrant.” β€œMa’am, I was seven years old.” Then, text at the bottom says: The teen is put into a concrete cell with 35 men.

The community rallies behind him. There's an image of yard signs with the smiling face of the teen that say Free Marcelo. Some quotes from locals: β€œHe’s one of our brothers. Without him, it just kind of feels like a dark, empty room.” -volleyball team captain. β€œThis administration isn’t  keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honors students in prison.” -MA Rep.

In the cell, the teen helps translate for those who don’t speak English. Many are ill. After 6 days, he’s released. There's an image of a hand and arm, with a crinkly foil bracelet tied around the wrist. Wearing a bracelet  that another detainee  made him from one of the  thin mylar blankets they  were given, he says: β€œ I don’t want to cry. But I want  to say...nobody should be in here.”

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

Kennedy, obsessed with vaxxed/unvaxxed studies that would not be approved by US ethical review boards, planned to fund one in West Africa β€” one that would have caused unnecessary disease and death for extremely vulnerable children. After negative media attention, it was canceled. Coverage matters.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

In the latest on Unprofessoring, I argue that I--and we--need ways to talk about the sensations of thinking and learning!
