This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

Republicans are playing all sorts of word games to try to hide the fact that their “tax plan” slashes Medicaid and takes health care away from millions — all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk. The American people aren’t buying it.
