you *must* read the Battle of the Dildo at the Minneapolis Graduate Hotel (where ICE is lodging):

"The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics. It arrived in a cardboard box full of clearance-bin dildos, under purple neon light." 🤣

one of the most beautiful things I've ever read

@susankayequinn can you copy it over here? i cant read it.
@susankayequinn Smitten Kitten is such a good shop too

"This wasn’t crowd control. This was panic control. This was the federal government throwing tear gas at a punchline because they couldn’t arrest a joke.

While we didn’t shut down ICE that night, we did show that their power collapses the moment it’s confronted with absurdity."

@susankayequinn

I do think libertarians throwing them at women's basketball players is stupid though.

@darwinwoodka they never have any original ideas, do they?
@susankayequinn
This is a spectacular use of dildos and a very funny story in these dark times.

@susankayequinn

Nobody flinched. Nobody laughed nervously. Nobody asked, “Are you okay?”

They just nodded like hardened revolutionaries and said, “Okay, how many?”

@susankayequinn " The air vibrated with that very specific end-of-empire energy where your brain says this is insane but your soul says don’t stop, this is sacred."

And that's before the dildos come in to play

@susankayequinn ICE should appreciate what the people are doing. They are running around with such little dick energy, and these people are trying to help.

We see your little dick problem sir, here is a big dick for you! Enjoy!

LOL

They really do have such fragile egos.

but they chose this path, they joined ICE, they followed the orders (willfully and enthusiastically) and then they escalated to murder so fuck them.

@susankayequinn I would like to read this, but Substack is a fucking Nazi bar. So I wont.

EDIT: apparently this response was block worthy.

@susankayequinn

I stood there, half-blind, lungs on fire, thinking:

We just got tear-gassed over a dildo.

Not a brick. Not a Molotov. Not a weapon.

A rubber dick.

That is how fragile federal masculinity is in 2026.

Hunter S. is smiling down from whatever opium laced reality he finds himself in. This is some top tier gonzo reporting.

@MissConstrue @susankayequinn

Part of the hate by zeta males against lesbians was the incomprehensibilty of being replaced by a dildo (even though dildo may not be a part of the repertoire).

This is the same, these zeta males are threatened by a piece of plastic 😁

@n_dimension @MissConstrue @susankayequinn well, duh. It's much easier to retrofit a dick than a pleasant personality 🤷

@susankayequinn @cstross I misspoke earlier when I said that “George Soros Bought Me a Handwarmer” was the name of my new band.

After careful consideration, the name of my new band is now "Clearance-Bin Dildos”.

@angusm @susankayequinn

Clearance-Bin Dildos is the first album by George Soros Bought Me A Handwarmer, surely?

@passenger @angusm @susankayequinn

🤣 🏆

I can just imagine John Peel announcing that on Radio 1.

@angusm @susankayequinn @cstross surely Clearance-bij dildoes at the thrift shop
@angusm
@susankayequinn @cstross honestly both of these songs more like song titles

Not to be confused with the German electro-industrial duo:

@susankayequinn @brunogirin I'm sad to say that this reads like classic ChatGPT in sentence structure

😘👌

@susankayequinn that was glorious.

I have an idea involving my expensive lightsaber and a dildo. 🤔😈

@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 "the dildo(s) of consequences rarely arrives lubed."
@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).

@Plumbert @susankayequinn Flow my tears, the policeman said

@susankayequinn

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

@Mikal @susankayequinn

It reminds this moose of a "flying dildo" that someone released into an important (political?) meeting. It was radio controlled and stayed just out or reach of anybody trying to swat it. Chaos ensued. 3:O))>

The video is probably still around somewhere. (I can't find it with a quick search.) 3:O(>

@susankayequinn @Cadbury_Moose

Also, remember a few years back when the Bundy gang took over the national wildlife refuge in Oregon? They put out videos asking supporters to send them snacks and people sent them bags of dildos instead. Then they were stupid enough to take the bait and film themselves opening up boxes of dildos complaining about it. Which, of course, led to more people sending more dildos.

I think "dildos as a political weapon" has not been explored sufficiently.

@Mikal
It's being explored...I saw pictures earlier in Minnesota...
@Mikal @susankayequinn @Cadbury_Moose I dimly recall a video of someone throwing a large wobbly dildo at a politician. Sadly I can't remember any other details, not even the nationality of the politician, but sometimes they're actual weapons too.

@Mikal @susankayequinn @Cadbury_Moose

Ice dildo carving festival?
Snow dildo making festival?

@susankayequinn Oh. My. God. That was incredible.

I blame Josie Butler for the advent of the #DildoDistributionDelegation.

And by blame I mean very honourably mention.

The #BioticBakingBrigade is also worthy of an honourable mention.

@susankayequinn That writing.

"The first dildo flew through the air like a rubber prophecy and skidded to a stop directly at the boots of a state trooper."

Amazing.

@susankayequinn

That has made my day.

Sometimes Masto-donner kebabs says 'must read'. I did. Kittens with dildos. The plan is diversifying...

@susankayequinn @timbray An excellent start to my day. Thank you all.
@susankayequinn that was an absolutely amazing read. thank you.
@susankayequinn "You can’t baton your way out of satire. You can’t gas a punchline. And you absolutely cannot maintain authority while tear-gassing people over a rubber dick." Incredible 😂
