People mocking penguin island tariffs but Kim Stanley Robinson spoke at UCLA last month about Antarctic penguins fighting back against bully seals.
Trump isn’t just destroying the penguins’ economy, he’s also attacking their #resistance

When I picketed at Melrose Trading Post entrance last weekend I printed flyers #teslatakedown on my home printer (4x/page) and cut into quarter sheets.
Easy to fit in my pocket and hand out to people on the street.
Don’t assume people know what’s happening!

One thing I appreciate about #teslatakedown is the lo-fi graphic design, which reflect the genuinely grassroots nature of the nationwide (and global) protests

Pre-work mini #teslatakedown at SM Blvd & 405 in West LA today.
Guy in Ford Escape pulls up: “hey Elon’s cutting costs!”
I go: “It’s value destruction. His Twitter game destroyed 70% of the company’s value.”
He goes, “I agree on Twitter. I’ll give you that,” then sped off #discourse 🤷♂️🚗

If you can’t make a protest you can DIY.
I took my NO MUSK COUP sign to Melrose Trading Post at Fairfax High in LA today.
Tons of honking and conversations with young people on #Melrose Ave.
I handed out #TeslaTakedown quarter sheets (Mac Preview app > Print 4x/page)

One #teslatakedown protester had a foot injury, so she brought a folding chair and waved at ease with an anti-DOGE sign 🪧

Happy to report 25+ protestors at the Tesla dealer in North Hollywood today cheered on by a steady stream of honking cars.
One guy had a double-sided NO KINGS sign and said he’d been compelled to come out for the first time today after seeing the Zelensky presser.
Say ‘no’ now. #TeslaTakedown

Got out to North Hollywood this afternoon to protest Elon Musk.
Cheered by honking supporters, sidewalk art from the big group here earlier today, and the guy in Rivian who asked “what’s a coup.”
Keep it up out there. #TeslaTakedown

A reflection from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s visit to LA — how few CA representatives and officials joined in Union Station, all behind a black privacy curtain set up to separate the speakers from protestors and regular commuters walking by.
This administration is deeply unpopular.

Happy to report the NO MUSK COUP sign made another outing today at the Tesla showroom in Pasadena.
It’s not a honking kind of town but I had several polite toots and thumbs up from drivers, and nice conversations with supportive citizens on the street.
Keep making noise. #TeslaTakedown

I protested Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s appearance at Union Station in LA this morning.
The administration’s agenda is not “cost cutting,” it’s value destruction for the president’s enemies and transfer of public spending to favored friends. #teslatakedown

Brian, look forward to the report.
I got my sign out at the forthcoming Tesla diner in Hollywood this morning, on SM Blvd. across the street from Jeffrey Deitch gallery (this building isn’t on the protest list afaik)

200 million year-old rock from the Alabama Hills at LADWP headquarters, to symbolize water taken from Owens Valley.
I am a big sucker for an institutional rock.
PS, Alabama Hills a filming location for Gladiator I — scene where Maximus rides from Germania to Italy with his wounded shoulder. 🐎 ⚔️
