Boycotting Tesla is not "illegal", as Trump claims.
The purpose of a boycott is to send a clear message: We the people have the power and choice to not give our hard-earned cash to billionaire oligarchs.

I said it 30 years ago and I'll say it again today: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of working people.
My Shutdown Message
My message today is the same as it was nearly 30 years ago when Newt Gingrich shut down the government: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of vulnerable and working people.

a glitch? Is Waze advertising Taco Bell while you’re on the highway a glitch, or no one called them out?
When Jeep owners complained ads were appearing while driving, the carmaker said it was a glitch. But as auto makers consider connected car opportunities, in-vehicle selling might be too tempting to ignore.

The world doesn’t need one perfect activist. It needs all of us to show up imperfectly but with care and intent.
Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.
