Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders. Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

Today a group largely of women, including concerned doctors and faith leaders, staged a protest of Signature Airlines in Glen Burnie MD for their complicity in #ICE abductions. One guy decided to harass our group by circling around and revving his truck engine. Great example to set for the kids. #3E

With the broromance over and Trump kicking Elon to the curb, some questioned if @teslatakedown.com would end. TT is more than Musk - it’s a stand against a government of the bullies, by the billionaires. Buckle up, it’s going to be a long, hot summer.🔥 www.cnn.com/2025/06/07/b...

After Musk announced he was leaving #DOGE, the Bluesky account for #TeslaTakedown called for protests on Sat #Jun28 (Musk’s birthday), as a way of “recommitting to the fight.” “We are tired of the billionaire takeover and we are not letting up,” @mel2lou.bsky.social said 🔥 #USProtests #Tesla #3E

There are moments with authoritarian takeovers where resistance is met with state power and violence in order to intimidate a population into compliance. What happens then literally defines everything. Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay focused.

Elon, Big Balls and the rest of the DOGE bro incels never wanted to dismantle the “administrative state”. They wanted to own our data, invade our privacy, and destroy our fundamental freedoms in a dug-addled power grab made possible by simply kissing the ass of the Useful Idiot in Chief. It worked.

[email protected] should be showered with praise for this. The "smart" insider DC advice at the time was to abandon Abrego Garcia. But Van Hollen fought for his constituent and helped get him home. And it turns out fighting back rather than misreading polls was politically smart too.

Elon Musk must've taken a big dose of truth serum, because he's absolutely right: the GOP tax bill would blow up the deficit by $3 trillion — and that's AFTER they cut health care for 16 million people. This bill is only "beautiful" for billionaires. For everyone else, it's the Great Betrayal.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Thanks to those Democrats who stood up for fundamental rights especially @vanhollen.senate.gov & @ivey.house.gov and a big FU to any Democrat and consultant who called this a distraction. We’ll remember. @welcomepac.bsky.social 👀

Musk really screwed himself. He pissed off his base for MAGA and now has pissed off MAGA. Let's finish him off tomorrow! (extra nice to have him go down on Pride) 🌈TOMORROW @teslatakedown.com Pride Edition at all DMV Area locations! Washington, DC actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

Make no mistake, Elon’s beef with Trump's Brutally Bad Budget isn’t about increasing the deficit, it’s about not having ENOUGH cuts to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires like himself. It’s a one-two punch that will make life worse for millions of Americans.

I truly do not give a shit about what stupid power games a lot of very stupid people think they are playing. Remove the fascists from office and put them in prison.

Centrist pundits claim activist "groups" push Dems into unpopular lefty immigration stances, like supporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return — and hurt them in the polls. But on Abrego Garcia, Trump is the one who lost support, not Dems. New data-driven piece:

This is actually a flat-out lie: The #MAGAMurderBill specifically prohibits anyone who gets kicked off of Medicaid for failing to meet the work reporting requirements from qualifying for ACA exchange subsidies (which means they couldn't possibly afford an exchange plan at that income level).
