Tesla's target audience is climate-conscious consumers, quite a few of whom now feel strongly enough to not just sell their cars but picket stores to stop other people buying them. There's an event in London on 8 March on the off-chance you're writing about this: actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

I’m excited about the pro-EU community rebuilding on Bluesky with so much energy happening here. It’s *perfect* for what we need to be doing in 2025.
Therefore, could you please follow these local pro-EU groups
…and yes, I will make a list.

We saw similar spikes in post-Brexit & the 2016 election, plus again in 2020 when there was a risk of Trump being re-elected.
Speaking from experience (I moved to Europe specifically to regain my EU rights), emigrating is an extremely empowering move – when you'd otherwise feel utterly helpless.

But it's not just angry reactions -- search terms for more concrete actions show it, too.
Like "expat tax advice"
Or something *very* specific, like searches for the "Dutch American Friendship Treaty" (which makes it quite easy for US citizens to start a business in the Netherlands & move there)

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Forget about 'jus sanguinis' – not everyone has that happy option (and we can't go back in time and change our ancestry).
Instead consider emigration + #dualcitizenship via residency.
(and you get to escape America too 🙃)

This is certainly worth looking at. But if you don't have any suitable ancestry, then don't lose hope. Emigration + #dualcitizenship by naturalization is another option. In several EU countries, the timeline is 5 years of residency before you can apply.
Starting points for U.S. folks wishing to claim #DualCitizenship if you have grand or great grandparents born in #Europe.

Lots of chatter about emigration from the US.
Here's my take: 👇
If you have a remote job / passive income then you're in a strong position to apply for "passive income" or "digital nomad" residency visas in a number of European countries.

These blue skies have been my daily reality – ever since I told Brexit to go fuck itself and set out on a mission to regain my stolen EU rights.
We don't have to accept the political hand that we're dealt.
I certainly didn't.
