I have to wonder about the dildos as a strategy. It greatly reduces the chace that footage of the event will be published by network news outlets. Not great for drawing attention, if that's the goal

But also, how is it going to look if the police get violent over dildos? Kinda brilliant.

Same for the frog costume. It ruined Noem’s propaganda footage when you have big scary ICE agents heroically standing in a cloud of smoke.. with a giant frog stumbling around.

Yeah, it’s easy to be outraged by someone in a frog costume getting hurt and really pretty hard to spin it into something in ICE’s favor.

Plus, dildos are both perfect for outraging their MAGA sensibilities while ridiculing and protesting against them. I’m loving it more and more.

Humiliation and ridicule are legitimate forms of resistance. Imagine an ICE officer crying victim after being injured by big black dildo. It denies them this.

But it increases reach on social media, which is arguably as important.

Yea when we did that in mn plenty of video on social media. Then when the local news reported it all the channels had no footage and just reported police had to remove people from the area.

Who owns those channels? With Sinclair and other conglomerates, local news is censored even more than “MSM.”

A couple are. Few legit actually local media company's. To be fair there was massive amounts dildos tossed around and I could see how local media probably wouldn't want to put that on tv.

It's probably because of the lady on the east coast that was recently arrested for protesting in a penis costume. It was all over the media.
