Maga cultists disparage our elders, b/c so many of them are putting themselves on the line for justice.
Have we forgotten all about their wisdom and life experience? They are there because they know exactly how serious this is.

From last week’s ongoing Tesla Takedown protest, Berkeley California. This sign struck me as creative and on-point.

I thought this was stunning. We chatted about how she chose these images. She had wanted to only show the abusers, but realized we’ve created such a false myth of the “genteel” south, that a photo of slave owners/patrols alone, wouldn’t make the point.

Ongoing weekly Tesla Takedown protest, Berkeley Ca, Nov 8. We need to keep talking about a comprehensive platform like this, for a better future! And we MUST take down MUSK if we want that better future!

Last Saturday’s weekly Tesla Takedown protest, Berkeley Ca. (With the permission of the folks on film.)
I call this our “home base” protest, because unless there is a bigger national event, this is one of the ongoing commitments we’ve made. It helps to have constants, in these long-term battles.

Sitting on the courthouse steps, showing appreciation for all the marchers as they/we poured past.

California, we’ve got a deadly serious mission to accomplish. Let’s use these final days to educate, inform, and motivate our fellow Californians to vote YES on Prop 50!

A very cool idea: protestors stopped along the way to discuss the Constitution with the gentleman in the George Washington costume.

A small subset of the protestors had arrived at Lake Merritt by this time. The rest were still marching toward this point, for another couple of hours yet.

And, the rationales offered up by the AI search functions were weirdly convoluted, and frankly improbable. How is it that these large-scale search functions not only can’t find something that I could find in a few minutes, but offer up nonsensical elaborate theories instead?

I remember the shock b/c Wilkie Farr had a reputation which made the capitulation more unexpected. For example:

Another great action item, from someone who knows what he’s talking about. If anyone does this, it would be great if you could post a list of those companies which advertise on Sinclair or Nexstar. bonus points if anyone wants to share contact info for them.

Fwiw, Patriot Mobile is a “Christian, conservative wireless provider”. Far from being anti-corporate, it simply uses T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. And supports, well, see for yourselves.

Here are a sampling of the kinds of organizations its PAC supports:
