If you are in the USA, you know what to do with this.
"The design is meant to look as clean and simple as possible while still looking like a whistle. It was also designed to be easily gripped with thick gloves or cold hands. It has a raised lip on the bottom and grips on the top to allow you to hold it securely in your mouth even if you are blowing as hard as you can. There is a hole in the back for a key ring or lanyard so you can wear it around your neck or attach it to your zipper or keychain.
Another huge focus in designing this was to make it printable in one piece with no supports or rafting. I wanted someone to be able to print this before going for a hike or something with no assembly, cleanup, or fuss of any kind to get it ready. Just print and go"
UpdateBy popular demand I have added a de-badged version of the V29. It is labeled V29D in the thing files section. I originally put the version number on the whistle to tell them all apart as I was developing them.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.
ICE agents abandoned their vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, gear, and operational plans.
Demonstrators apparently retrieved these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people.
This "coin" is decorated with a skull wearing a crown.
ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.
For those what don't know, @SoFurry is back, and the new site is very nice looking... But I can't figure out how to see uploads from those that I follow nor see who I'm following. I would think my feed would do that, but there's a single post there despite my alerts showing uploads from someone else I'm following.
Meh, why do art galleries have to be this hard? Why don't we just Federate them, #pixelfed looks like it could do the job with some tweaks.
Oh no. Trump has been given (as if he needed it) permission to continue war acts in Venezuela. I want him to keep in mind, If Iranians aren't to be killed then neither are Venezuelans.
FBI executes search warrant at Washington Post reporter’s home
The search came as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.
By Perry Stein
The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials. The reporter, Hannah Natanson, was at her home in Virginia at the time of the search. Federal agents searched her home and her devices, seizing her phone, two laptops and a Garmin watch. One of the laptops was her personal computer, the other a Washington Post-issued laptop. Investigators told Natanson that she is not the focus of the probe. The warrant said that law enforcement was investigating Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a system administrator in Maryland who has a top-secret security clearance and has been accused of accessing and taking home classified intelligence reports that were found in his lunchbox and his basement, according to an FBI affidavit. Natanson covers the federal workforce and has been a part of The Washington Post’s most high-profile and sensitive coverage during the first year of the second Trump administration. In December, Natanson wrote a first-person account about her experience covering the workforce as President Donald Trump’s administration created upheaval across the federal government. She detailed how she posted her secure phone number to an online forum for government workers and amassed more than 1,000 sources, with federal workers frequently reaching out to her to share frustrations and accounts from their offices. While it is not unusual for FBI agents to conduct leak investigations of reporters who publish sensitive government information, it is highly unusual and aggressive for law enforcement to conduct a search on a reporter’s home. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In April, Attorney General Pam Bondi rescinded a Biden-era policy that prevented officials from searching reporters’ phone records when trying to identify government personnel who have provided sensitive information to news organizations. Bondi said in an internal memo at the time that the media should not be afforded such protections, noting leaks of government information during the Trump administration. “This conduct is illegal and wrong and it must stop,” she wrote in the memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. But Bondi said that the Justice Department would search reporters’ communication records only when other investigative methods had been exhausted. The search warrant and seizures appeared to be Natanson’s first interaction with investigators. Archive link to WaPo article
As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in? [À mesure qu’on creuse plus avant dans le caractère national des Américains, on voit qu’ils n’ont cherché la valeur de toutes les choses de ce monde que dans la réponse à cette seule question : combien cela rapporte-t-il d’argent?]

CBS interviewed a 25 year police veteran and use of force expert who clearly states the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota by ICE last week was unlawful and unjustified.
Then they buried it. Just like they did the CECOT interview.
While Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and JD Vance cruelly labeled Renee Good a “domestic terrorist,” the video evidence is clear.
Watch the full video as I react in real time and break down exactly what the footage shows.
Another collab with the terrific R.E. Ryan. TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels, all showing a protest in front of a state government capital building, with marchers holding placards…
People are still too focused on Trump as the source of the current disaster; he is but a bit player. He is just the hired chaos monkey of global billionaire class. If he was gone today, they'd hire another stooge (JD?). America must face that it's failing democracy has lost the ability to restrain the rich from absolute and corrupt power.
