They’re telling EVERYONE who they are. That’s hella Christian crusader imagery.

But what they missed is that the enemy is imaginary. Unless you count them facing off against each other. Because, well, THEY ARE the enemy.

They’re telling on themselves. Again.

#USSecretPolice #IceIsTheEnemy
Official Department of Homeland Security image shared on Facebook. The black and white image looks down on a number of soldiers from above. The soldiers are standing in concentric circles, facing each other. They wear metal helmets, medieval style battle gear, and are each holding at least one long sword. The weapons are all facing the other soldiers as if they are to do battle against each other. They are surrounded by fog. Because apparently the enemy isn’t real. Commenter states: “I like how they’re all facing each other, and the enemy is imaginary/invisible.” Followed by a laughing emoji.

Because this here? Yeah, this NKVD execution list from The Great Terror. THIS is where things go when no one stands up.

Take a look at numbers 154 and 155. We share a surname - Still. Heironimus and Eugen Still were only 22 and 19 when they were executed WITHOUT trial. #NoDueProcess
One page of an NKVD execution list from the time of Stalin’s Great Terror in 1937-1938. Persons 154 and 155 are related to the thread author. List is written in Russian.

And here is the tech bro of all Canadian tech bros expressing his wish that Canadians be sent to El Salvador. “Even if we ought to do that …” Enough said.
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke, himself a recent immigrant to Canada expresses his desire for Canada to send people to El Salvador just like Trump is doing in the US.

In December 2024, tech bro Shane Parrish stated his support for DOGE-ing the federal government. He got so much blow back he has to delete it and apologizes although he says it WASN’T an apology but a “clarification”. Have the original from 2024? I want it.
This “apology” from Shane Parrish is hot garbage. He said what he said (that he wants to DOGE the federal government) and backtracked here after getting massive blowback.

The Dutch sent Canada 100,000 tulip bulbs as a thank you for #Ottawa hosting the Dutch royal family during WWII and as recognition for liberating the Netherlands from the Nazis.

Princess Margriet was born here during WWII and has a special relationship with this city.

#TeslaTakedown #ElbowsUp
An image of several orange tulips in full bloom growing in the poster’s back yard garden. In the background is a light tan coloured fence. The tulips are a special variety called Liberation 75, created to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands.

And a few more great signs, some of which I missed the first time they were out. Old phone + cold weather = dead battery.

But the weather was great today - cloudy but warm. And the rain held off until the end.

#TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #Ottawa #ElbowsUp
Protest sign which reads: No Nazis in Canada = No Tesla, No Starlink Protest which reads: Tell Elon to “Get the heck out of DOGE!” Protest sign featuring the Tesla logo in the shape of a Nazi eagle. Below that is the Tesla name but the letter S is replaced by the Nazi SS. Protest sign featuring an enlarged image of Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute. The sign reads: In this country we hate Nazis. The letter O in the word country has been replaced by a red maple leaf.

More protest signs at the #Ottawa #TeslaTakedown.
Protest sign which reads: Not paid to be here. We hate fascism for free. Protest sign by a teen - thank you parents for being so great! The sign features a graph of a falling stock market with two cyber trucks driving down the slope. Pieces are falling off the cyber trucks. The sign reads: Your car parts can fly but your stocks are falling. Protest sign which reads: No Tesla, No Starlink, No Nazis.

These two came in from out of town to come to our #TeslaTakedown protest. They had a different message on the back for the US embassy protest this afternoon.
Protest sign which reads: Power to the People Not the Billionaires. #Tesla Takedown Protest sign which reads: Clean cars, Dirty hands, Boycott Tesla

Tiny hands Trump wasn’t there this week - it’s a long weekend - but this lovely cobra chicken, aka Canada goose was.

And that tube really does emphasize the goose’s snake nickname. Haha!

It took 1.5 hours from start to finish at my advance poll in #Nepean but my vote is now done.

Elections Canada might want to think about putting in a second voting booth or dividing our advance poll into 2. We have the highest population density in my area of our suburb. #Elxn2025 #Canada #Vote
Woman with dark hair pulled up onto her head on a bun, wearing a set of dark sunglasses on her head, and dressed in a light grey hoodie standing in front of a bright yellow and black bilingual Elections Canada sign which says: Advance Poll, Elections Canada, Bureau de vote par anticipation.

Here’s the original and his reply to a reply. This is repulsive. The first test makes the reader think he’s not that bad but the second one? Clearly he wants to take a dictator’s approach to crime. They always tell on themselves.
Tweet from Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke on April 11, 2025. He states his admiration for and desire to copy the actions of a vicious dictator, El Salvador’s Bukele and his approach to crime. Tobi wants to apply this to Canada. Crime is so-called low in dictatorships because the dictator can do whatever he wants. That’s how that works, Tobi. Constitutional rights, which would protect Tobi as an immigrant to Canada, would be gone. “Putting bad people in jail works. Canada should do this very differently from El Salvador, but it should do it.” This is a quote tweet of a tweet by Visegrad 24 which states, “El Salvador’s President has taken the country from level 4 on the US State department travel advisory system to level 1 in 5 years.” Lest you think Tobi might have thought the El Salvador approach was a bit too extreme, he corrects himself in a reply to someone who replied to his tweet. Clearly he sees the people the US abducted and sent to the gulag in El Salvador as guinea pigs for a Canadian version of what the US is doing. Commenter: “We shouldn’t pull punches. Canada should do it exactly THE SAME as El Salvador. Fortune favours the bold.” Tobi replies: “Even if we ought to do that, this isn’t Canada’s best trait. We should focus on finding the kinder and gentler way to get the same outcome and not rush to someone else’s first working implementation. Canada is at its best when it elevates things.”

And if you check out the tech bros’ Twitter accounts they no longer hide their fascism. But they sometimes say oops when they realize they’ve gone too far. Apologize all you want but we know you believe the extreme version of what you posted.
Tech bro, Shane Parrish, who wants a Canadian DOGE tries to cover his extremist tracks by saying he didn’t really mean his “Canadian DOGE now!” tweet in December 2024. Whatever, Shane. Build Canada is a fascist tech bro DOGE lobbying group. “In December, I tweeted support for bringing DOGE - a term then associated with reducing waste, increasing effectiveness, and improving government transparency to Canada. I deleted it because the meaning has since shifted publicly, becoming a bit of a Rorschach test where people see whatever they want. Some media have misinterpreted my intentions to attack me and Build Canada unfairly. Canadians deserve honest debate, not misleading headlines. I strongly believe in a more effective and transparent government - one that moves quickly, openly, and decisively- but always in a Canadian way.”

And messages written on the sidewalk in front of the #Tesla dealership in chalk.

#Ottawa #BoycottTesla #TeslaTakedown #ElbowsUp
Chalk message on sidewalk: Tesla is a Ponzi Scheme. Chalk message written on the sidewalk: Tesla Funds Tyranny. Chalk message written on the sidewalk: Deport Elon to Mars. Chalk message written on the sidewalk: Don’t Buy a Swasticar.

And my dad - recently moved to #Ontario - at his first protest … in his 70s. Honk This, Elon!

Dad’s a retired high school history rachee. He knows what’s up.

#Ottawa #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #ElbowsUp
Man in a winter coat with a dark toque and gloves holding a protest sign with a pair of Canada geese taking off in flight. The sign reads: Honk This Elon!

And we can’t forget the important message that we should send Elon to Mars. He was, of course, named Elon after the lead character in a 1953 Nazi-authored book about a mission to Mars. Except Elon meant “The Leader” in the book.

#TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #Ottawa #ElbowsUp
Protest sign that states: Deport Elon to Mars. Protest sign that states: Don’t Buy Cars From Nazis! The sign also has a crossed out swastica.

Some new signs this week. The bilingual sign is held by a person who was visiting #Ottawa from #Montreal and who decided to come to our protest.

#BoycottTesla #TeslaTakedown #ElbowsUp
Protest sign of a full colour Canada goose saying the words ‘Honk if you hate Swasticars’. Bilingual English-French protest sign. There is a black and white image of Elon Musk in the upper left corner doing a Nazi salute. The words read: Musk is a Felon, His Place is in Prison. Musk est un Felon, sa Place est en Prison. Protest sign with a Canadian flag in the upper right corner. The words state: But Canadian - Boycott American. This protester was also wearing a ball cap with the same message and holding a good sized Canadian flag on a short pole.

More signs! Mine is the white power steering one - thanks to the brilliant folks in London, England putting up the brilliant bus shelter ads. And two simple but very effective signs.

#Ottawa #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #ElbowsUp
Political sign with an image of Elon Musk at the bottom doing a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration. The text reads: Tesla- Now with white power steering. Protest sign that simply states Elbows Up! An easily available red and white danger sign one can find at many stores. The sign was turned into a protest sign when the hold wrote ‘fascism’ into the blank space such that the sign reads ‘Danger - Fascism’.

The artist brought this guy too. Definitely NOT advertising #Tesla cars. Haha!

But as you would note, despite this tube man’s left hand being tied down even he didn’t want to put up his right arm in a Nazi salute. Be more like tube man!

Here are the other political art pieces the artist brought.

#Ottawa #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #ElbowsUp
Person wearing a large paper mache Elon Musk mask with dark brown yarn for hair. You can clearly see the yarn represents Elon Musk’s hair plugs. The person is also wearing a black t-shirt with sparkly silver lettering across the front spelling DOGE. The person is also holding a small plastic red and black chainsaw. A person wearing a very good homemade penguin mask with their arms held up as wings. Elbows up or wings up. A small dress form type item covered by a pair of small dark pants, small black shoes, and a small long sleeved white shirt. The head of the dress form is covered by a print out of an image of an upset toddler. The sign beside this art piece states “I’m not a meat shield.”

Some images from yesterday’s #TeslaTakedown in #Ottawa, #Canada.

More creative política art from a local artist. The tiny hands take this one over the top for me.

Much better weather and a small but dedicated group. We’d love more of you to join us.

As you can see we had a snow storm last night. The snow stopped for our #TeslaTakedown protest and thankfully the ice storm held off.

#BoycottTesla #ElbowsUp
Picture of the crowd of Tesla Takedown protesters in Ottawa in their winter gear holding up protest signs. They are standing on the sidewalk in front of the Tesla dealership which is painted grey. You can clearly see the snow piled up at the edge of the road and behind the protesters. Protest sign: True democracy can’t be bought. Protest sign: Image of Elon Musk ding his Nazi salute accompanied by the words “In this country we hate Nazis.” The ‘O’ in country is replaced by a red maple leafs
