This is amazing news! The people of Minneapolis and St. Paul are being recognized with one of the most prestigious civic honors in America. The JFK Library Foundation announced today that the people of the Twin Cities will receive a 2026 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for their resistance!

As I was writing all this, we did it. ONE MILLION WHISTLES (plus 9000 for good measure) shipped and into the hands of regular people who will distribute them in their communities to keep their neighbors safe. You could do that too. Just send a request to the email at the top of whistlegoblins.fun
Hey a very great maker of plastic for 3d printers has set up a thing where you pay $20 and they ship a spool of filament to members of our printing crew. One spool makes 500 whistles or more. Help out!

If you are here from the Whistles Out thread, here is the story of how this whole thing snowballed out of control in the best way. 💓
We just hit THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION WHISTLES since mid-December, more than half of that total was printed and shipped THIS MONTH. At this rate we will hit a million by the end of the month. Let us get whistles to you too: whistlegoblins.fun
Hello folks! In our neverending quest to get our filament needs away from Amazon, I'm doing a call today specifically for elegoo gift cards!

In 1943, musician Woody Guthrie placed a message on his guitar: "This machine kills fascists."
I am part of a group that's shipped half a million free 3D-printed whistles to defend against ICE — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone.
This is the story of the "Whistle Crew."
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
If you have been waiting a super easy way to support the printing folks without giving 'zon your money, @protopasta.bsky.social stepped up with a solution! Every $20 you give them at this link helps produce 500 whistles.
