May or may not actually be an octopus. Definitely not an official account of OWS.

@cstross @pluralistic @Remittancegirl I look forward to a future in which the only mention of Trump's name in the media comes in the form of headlines that say "Donald Trump still dead”.

@georgetakei @pluralistic

"Thank you for calling the United States Government. All our agents are currently busy enriching Donald Trump and his friends. Please try again later … <click> … <buzz> …”

Secretary of Murder Pete Hegseth told reporters today “Our murderbombers are doing great work, murdering people on the ground in Iran. They're defenseless now, because they can't match our murdermissiles, and our counter-murdermissiles are mostly stopping them murdering us in return. In other news, murdersailors aboard one of our murdersubmarines today sank an Iranian murdership, murdering 150 of their sailors.”

Hegseth then pumped the air with his fists, shouting "Woo-hoo!" and “Murder rocks!”

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

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION

The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.

CLOSER TO THE EDGE
Does anyone have any thoughts on how the US ought to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Americans freeing themselves from the tyranny of a corrupt and unaccountable ruler?

According to this Instagram post:

people released by ICE from the Whipple federal building are often thrown out into a Minnesota winter in whatever they were wearing when they were abducted, without phones or ID.

If they are released, it means they were legally here. They are citizens or people with valid status. ICE is punishing them for the 'crime' of being brown but not deportable.

The whole organization is absolutely psychotic. It cannot be redeemed or reformed.

Cookiecupcakes on Instagram: "These are the helpers in the reflective vests. They help the people that were released after they are detained and then later cleared. The ICE agents take the detainees ID's & phones away (and don't give them back) and the innocent victims are just dumped with no resources, wearing whatever they were taken in (it is very cold here) with no way to contact their family or get back home. The helpers give them a burner phone and a ride (among other things). That's really nice. I think that's what I want to do.

@GeriAQuin @cstross There’s a certain brilliance to this move:

"Give us the voter database so we can suppress the votes of everyone in the state who is likely to vote against us."

"Bitch, you've just made sure that come the next election, the ENTIRE STATE is likely to vote against you.”

@lavelleporter That process has already begun. There've been multiple reports of people being told that their documents are “invalid" or “forgeries”, and detained even though they are US citizens with valid identification.
@pluralistic This administration could 100% have been a Mafia shakedown.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Well, it certainly looks as if Mr. Trump might be open to the idea of breaking the rules in order to stay in power, but I'm glad to say that we have nothing to worry about. Even if our robust system of checks and balances somehow fails to stop him, we can take comfort in the fact that he is surrounded by people of high integrity and moral purpose. They will SURELY discourage him from doing anything undemocratic.
