Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 11/1/2025 Typical honks and waves, but also more slow-down-and-yell-out-the-window guys. Maybe maga is starting to see how much the country hates their Dear Leader. Anyway, as usual, blew them a kiss and/or made the heart sign.

Hey NAVY, including sailors involved and leadership. There are no statutes of limitations on war crimes.

Nuremburg also demonstrated that "following orders" is not considered a valid defense.

This is going to be messy, particularly for some military families.

#NoKings #Austin Huge turnout. March stretched for upwards of 12 blocks.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 10/11/2025 Our group is like a wildcat strike - a strike without direct union support - as the formal resistance groups here tackle other crucial priorities. Still 8-10 of us show up every week without formal organization...

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.
“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 10/4/2025 A Robotaxi - they're being unsafely piloted here - actually pulled in behind us, across from the dealer. I stood in front of it, but it couldn't figure out to back up - so its "safety" monitor had to drive it off 😅.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 9/27/2025 Back in 90+ heat in Austin, where term "endless summer" is devoid of positive connotations. Shout-out to excellent work also being done by relatively new @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social opposing Robotaxis and tax rebates for the local Tesla factory.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 9/14/2025 About a dozen of us today, though some peeled off early to prep for an anti-ICE protest later in the day. Plenty of support as usual, but two cars and one employee stopped to argue with us. Tense times, I guess. @teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 9/6/2025 - A bit smaller turnout today, since there was a simultaneous protest at a Tesla on the other side of town. Chant of the day: "Fascists, fascists they all fall down!" Photos include Larry and Dan, regulars who you would never believe are brothers 😅@teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/30/2025 I missed last week's (out of town), but back at it today, along with 13 others. Dealership tried remotely honking the weak, flatulent-sounding horn of a cybertruck parked near the street a few times to disrupt us, to zero avail. Pathetic. @teslatakedown.com

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

This is a really great piece ostensibly about the Disney Parks but really about increasing American economic inequality.

A couple dozen folks at the Texas Capitol protesting the kidnapping of State Rep Collier by the GOP, with, as I understand it, a much larger gathering planned for this evening.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/16/2025 At it once again. And still lots of honks, waves, and thumbs-up. Resist fascism, kids, any way you can... @teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/9/2025 - Still at it in the increasingly brutal Austin summer heat. Just down the street, the sight of row upon row of unsold - likely unsellable - cybertrucks at the dealership's auxiliary lot provokes a bit of schadenfreude... @teslatakedown.com

Police have announced the discovery of a monstrous child sex trafficking ring in a concrete bunker in rural, deep red Alabama. So why does it feel like they discovered it at a pizza parlor in urban, deep blue Washington, DC?

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/2/2025. Slightly smaller turnout in South Austin this week (10 people), as there was a simultaneous protest at the North Austin location. Still, as usual, lots of friendly honks and waves. Dislike for Elon remains strong... @teslatakedown.com
