Too good. #TeslaTakedown

#TeslaTakeDown How I carried my sign on my bicycle trailer down to Seattle South Lake Union Tesla protest. Has the word THIEF under the strap

Miller and Homan must be so pleased with themselves. Fucking monsters: A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Musk doesn't get how nonviolent protest works. Why are we Troublemakers? Because as Rep. John Lewis, RIP, knew: in hard times, good trouble is ESSENTIAL to all that we love. When the world is at risk, when democracy is at risk, we're either troublemakers—or collaborators. So: who's a Troublemaker?

Uhhhh....timely. Next Tuesday! Democracy is backsliding towards authoritarianism in numerous ways and in dozens of countries. This training offers frameworks of how illegal power grabs have happened abroad and how people have resisted. With Saul Levin! Register here: bit.ly/Democracy20250318

WHAT HAVE YOU ALL DONE????!!!!!!!!!!! #TeslaTakedown

💯❤️ #TeslaTakedown #NoKingsHere

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie. The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

9 years ago, Musk got big coverage for saying that his target for manned flights to Mars was 2025. 2025 has arrived. Those flights to Mars have not. Instead Musk has destroyed a social media co, is destroying a car co, and is wrecking US govt + US economy. www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-swi...

Better PR? 😂 Well, they couldn't have worse PR, but also [whispers]: it's not the lack of PR, it's that YOU'RE A GANG OF MALICIOUS KNOW-NOTHING POWER-DRUNK IDIOTS RANSACKING OUR GOVERNMENT. Kinda hard to spin that.

he also doesn't understand the streisand effect

This is the truest thing in the world. Dude got rich with vaporware and then used govt handouts to pump up artificial valuations while getting most of his income from trading carbon credits.

THIS.

Dear Elon Musk, protesting is not a crime. Organizing online to protest isn't a crime either, even if you don't like the protesters' goals. We oppose any efforts to mislabel peaceful protesting as illegal—protests are foundational to our democracy.

I am a troublemaker! Busy making good trouble for the good of life on our planet. We are a nonviolent group that also has a good time.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

Just....really feel like this is a good time to post this again.

Not bad, good people. Not bad at all. Whose democracy? Our democracy! #TeslaTakedown

Kia Norway took a bold marketing move! Interesting

Man oh man is this my experience lately...from the cashier at Macy's to my mammogram technician, everyone in DC wants to connect re: what's going on right now. Simply looking folks in the eye and asking how they're doing opens all sorts of conversations.

Elon Musk looks invincible, but a lot of his power and wealth is tied up in Tesla. This week @niedermeyer.online joins @parismarx.com to explain why Tesla is more vulnerable than it might appear and how hurting it can cause problems for Musk. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/265_...

they know what they did

Last month, I said Americans are now involuntary employees of Elon Musk: Our labor will be converted into federal subsidies for his businesses. Now Chicagoans’ tax dollars (including mine 🙋🏼‍♀️) are being used to protect Musk’s capital instead of the people of the city.

I've been telling people for 3 weeks that the window to ditch your Tesla is narrower than you think. "Fair value" will drop fast when dealerships see that a) lots of people want out, and b) fewer people are coming in to look at a used swasticar. #teslatakedown

The foundations of Elon Musk's enormous wealth and corporate empire are shakier than most people realize and they are beginning to crumble. @mihirdesai.bsky.social @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/o...

You don't suppose people are pissed off, do you? #TeslaTakedown

Elon's not prepared to deal with the reason why these protests are becoming popular: 1) We hate him. 2) We hate what he's doing to us. 3) We're broke. 4) He put convenient protest sites in hundreds of locations. 5) It's a great place to meet like-minded people. 6) Making him cry is fun.
