@susankayequinn @cstross I misspoke earlier when I said that βGeorge Soros Bought Me a Handwarmerβ was the name of my new band.
After careful consideration, the name of my new band is now "Clearance-Bin Dildosβ.

@susankayequinn the sad part of that is that was the MN National Guard in the yellow vests, which Waltz said was there to protect protesters, and they didn't stop to process what happened, they fired on people. Shame on them, and shame on Waltz.

@susankayequinn What a marvel of a quote!!!!
> The very first rubber dick to touch government-issued leather boots triggered a full-blown chemical weapons response. That is not metaphor. That is not exaggeration. That is a literal sentence that happened in America in 2026.

@susankayequinn I'll note that it is possible to get suction cup dildos stuck onto windows, as seen last week in Chicago's northwest suburbs (though not as part of a known protest).

"While we didnβt shut down ICE that night, we did show that their power collapses the moment itβs confronted with absurdity.
We proved that you can bring a trillion-dollar security apparatus to its knees with one well-aimed rubber cock.

You canβt baton your way out of satire. You canβt gas a punchline. And you absolutely cannot maintain authority while tear-gassing people over a rubber dick."

This is brilliant. And hilarious. And probably a good model for protests against ICE everywhere. The revolution will be rubberized.

@susankayequinn oh. My understanding that the Guard would be wearing vests, but the Devil take Jacob Frye as well.
