I always have a lot going on,
here's what I'm doing now:
I'm writing I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS! for Haymarket Books …
while hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who …
and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …
and shipping the patches and stickers I made for you …
and also making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club …
and OK that's enough.

In Chicago, whistles proved to be a super effective alert system when ICE is near. With these goons spreading out across the country, I wanted to put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles. I wrote as full a brain dump as I could muster. Whistle up.

It's been reported that Greg Bovino and 250 of his goons will be leaving Chicago. But it's also been reported that he'll be back. Chicago is a boxer, tired but unbowed. I wrote about how we'll be ready.

I spent Halloween chasing ghosts. Not kids in costumes, or jumpscares in a haunted house. I spent Halloween chasing ghosts of a different kind: careening from one ICE spotting to another. I wrote an essay about it, and about other ghosts we're chasing.

I write a lot of notes in shortform social apps like Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. I also capture them on this site, so the platforms don't control my stuff. Here are a few. You can always look at my notes page for more.
Thanksgiving is an iffy holiday at best, but giving thanks for family, friends, and community is welcome any time but especially right now.

Just a gentle reminder that holidays should not be stressful and you get to ensure and protect your joy however you need.

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…
