TESLA: We rallied at the courthouse in Oakland CA where Tesla will finally be held accountable for a decade of dishonestly advertising their “self driving” cars. We made 53 headstones representing the 53 fatal Autopilot/FSD crashes… so far… but not one more life should be lost for Elon Musk’s profit

Musk may have said he’s stepping away, but the changes he made are still hurting people all around the country and around the world.

Join us tomorrow to demand that Musk’s reckless government cuts be rectified.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

When Elon Musk was part of the administration, people said that if Tesla goes bankrupt Trump will just bail him out.

Now that Musk is on the outs with the administration, people say he's no longer worth targeting.

If you want to bankrupt a shitty billionaire, stop talking yourself out of it.

Thank you Boston for showing up for another #TeslaTakedown! You all bring the energy, and we are winning!

And big thanks to Dissent Pins for the ten foot tall inflatable Elon making "awkward gestures" to remind everyone that supporting Tesla is supporting fascism.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

If Trump wants to increase the birth rate (gift link), I'm afraid some of his current actions might be counterproductive. Here are some ideas he can have for free:

1.) Instead of cutting Medicaid, which covers 41% of births in the United States, maybe he should expand Medicaid.

Baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes are among the ideas pitched to Trump aides as they consider plans to try boosting the birthrate.

One of the last things Pope Francis did was to meet with JD Vance on Easter. In this meeting, the Pope offered Vance "three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children", reiterated the Catholic values of caring for migrants, and advocated working for peace. Thank you, Pope Francis.

I spoke with a family member yesterday who doesn’t follow the news closely and had just learned the details of Rumeysa Ozturk’s illegal kidnapping and detention.

He said, “I have been vaguely following and letting the water boil without ever knowing when it’s too hot and I need to hop out.”

If you do things last-minute like I do, you’re filing your taxes this week.

But did you know that last year Tesla paid NO income tax at all? Elon should have to play by the same rules the rest of us do.

There were some great signs at the March 29 Boston #TeslaTakedown event. My favorite was probably the Elon Enron logo.

Currently 32,000 people are watching the YouTube AP livestream of Senator Booker’s 17 hour address.

1,600 people are watching the YouTube AP livestream of the White House press briefing.

That’s 20x as many people listening to Sen. Booker speak truth vs listening to Karoline Leavitt tell lies.

Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey is still speaking! He’s been going since 7pm last night.

Props to him and the other Democrats joining him to talk about the importance of social security and Medicare. Trump and Musk may not care if American seniors can’t buy groceries, but Senator Booker cares!
