Designating Tesla attacks as “domestic terrorism” gives law enforcement sweeping authority to surveil people protesting against Elon Musk’s role in the US federal government, experts warn. @carolinehaskins.bsky.social reports:

Because they want to be this tyrannical state who can imprison anyone by using illegitimate labelling to prevent free speech and protest if they don't like it. #TRUENEWS
Just plain old fascism. I know the word is being thrown around a lot lately, but there's a genuine and obvious reason for this. It's fascism! Look at what occurred in Turkey yesterday... does the US still feel there's room for the fitted fascist suit yet?
For the Black community for quite some time now it emanates from other Americans. It has not stopped. America glossed over it for many years. Yet, that hate-that unsolicited HATE towards these communities have us here today. It is the one&only card the trump regime had to play&they did,successfully.
This is the problem with the word terrorism. It doesn’t have the most specific legal criteria to determine what is a terrorist organization and who is a terrorist.
Don’t forget under TRIA company will get ~80% of losses from federal govt if classified as terrorism. But not if private property. They haven’t even searched or released footage of when events happened 🤔
Gonna be a lot of sweeping. We have become an Autocracy with Dictator Donald Trump. Sad time for the Country. Though they will try to lie and propagandize that it is GREAT. Fact:
HATE NEVER MADE ANY COUNTRY GREAT!
You mean they're not surveilling American citizens already? With this administration it's become increasingly clear it's become one of their priorities.
Idiots who vandalize should go to jail, whether Left or Right.
The idea that my cause is so righteous that my protest should be allowed to violate laws against trespass, vandalism and even assault (as seen in some college protests) can't be allowed, whether it is anti-abortion, Gaza or Tesla.
Those cowards would far rather dick around on this nonsense than actually risk their bodies, health, or lives on going after real criminals. Same people are waiting for women to come back to the US from vacation & arrest them at the airport for whatever. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ice-took-trump-supporters-wife-181200963.html
I think the real terrorist is Elon Musk. I feel terrorized every day by his actions and those of his little tech bro buddies. They don't care about people and their actions show it.
What do they know about domestic terrorism? J 6th insurrection (coup) was domestic terrorism, yet they released all the felons who attacked the police and damaged the Capitol 🇺🇸.
Hypocrites!!
As the Trump administration continues to expand America’s digital surveillance machine, here’s a guide on protecting yourself from government surveillance—from encryption to your location data.
We're already under surveillance by multiple agencies. It wouldn't take much for them to get our internet histories as it is. I figure If they are coming after hackers and dissidents I was doomed back by probably 2017.
And with growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.
Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here's how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest.
It has always been this way, it's just more obvious. Nixon started it with putting activists on CIA & FBI lists and declaring environmentalists as "enemies of the state" even going so far as banning musicians from being played on the radio.
Buffy was backlisted. MAGA came for her again recently claiming she's not Native American & lots of concern trolling "blue people" jumped onboard with that BS. If you're WHITE, GTFO. We have our own rules about who's Native and who isn't. Woke people going after woke people is YOUR problem.
I disagree w this advice. Don't even bother w privacy. Let the stalkers stalk. When govts are consumed w stalking, they're not doing what they don't have time to do anything constructive. That's the crisis we're observing in this very day.
Be mindful when politicians misuse govt to intentionally provoke the public to violence. A bad speech led to Jan. 6. You lost a job and you torched a dealership? Ppl lose jobs every day. Puppetmaster politics. But what do I know...
Easy.
Without broken property and civil order.
Millions ways to protect in civilised manner - with or without surveillance of government, neighbours, pedestrians, shop owners, private businesses and public officials.
Or vote do not protest later!
When we live in a world where someone can murder dozens of elementary school children with an AR-15 and nothing happens but demonstrate against a billionaire's company and it's "domestic terrorism" something is inherently wrong.
Hey wired, check out the commerical insurance coverage of these dealerships. Search specifically for terrorism insurance (available since 9/11) and how the fed government pays out for claims (IF it is federally declared an act of terrorism)..... its an interesting read and worth reporting on.
I wonder whatever happened to that investigation on the text messages sent to college students, black college students about picking cotton on plantations November 6, 2024.
The federal government is already checking the phones of travelers when they enter the country and deporting anyone who criticizes Trump. They have 'disappeared' Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia student, simply for his pro-Palestinian protest activities. American citizens are next. #Fascism
Orwellian double-speak. It's vandalism by definition. Even Pam Bondi's charges against the folks behind one of the first tsla "attacks" are all vandalism-related.

Nah! Trust me, it's regular fascism already

Trump is replacing Rule and Law with Projection and Propaganda
Projection and Propaganda are replacing Rule and Law
No need to surveil people. Just investigate it as vandalism.
Hypocrites!!
From 2020:
Democracy is dead
Rubber bullets?
For protesting?
What?
Without broken property and civil order.

Joking, joking - do not worry.
