It's simple. No money to fascists like Elon Musk. T-Mobile's Starlink partnership is a dirty deal and it's not too late to drop them. @teslatakedown.com #muskmustfall

Made this little video about our Unhappy Birthday Elon party today at Tesla Lynnwood (15 miles north of Seattle).

Unhappy birthday Elon. Many people will not have more birthdays because of you. Even your cybertruck piñata is filled with cash and poop. #teslatakedown Lynnwood, WA

See all the green and orange? These are all the forests up for sale in WA to the highest bidder if the Senate Reconciliation Bill / BBB passes. The bill proposes the sale of over 250 million acres of public lands---so the rich can get their tax cuts. 🤮

10 years ago I moved back to Seattle and joined up with some incredible people (many whom I'm still collaborating with) to protest Shell's arctic drilling. I was not brave enough to get in a kayak and try to block this monstrosity. Later that year Shell pulled out of the artic due to "risk."

Tesla lost all its post election gains in Q1. Turns out Musk is quite unpopular and #teslatakedown is working. If you're in Seattle, join us tomorrow at happy hour at the Pine Box. 🍻

I LOVE seeing the creative signs at #TeslaTakedown protests. This week, a young person dressed as Princess Leia with a "Don't Leia Hand on My Education" sign, in Fife (near Tacoma), Washington state. #teslatakedown #protest

I turned 44 a few days ago. Life is full of contradictions and one of them is the absolute beauty and love I'm experiencing while the govt is disappearing people (and many more terrors). Embrace the beauty, commit it to memory. It's the fuel of resistance.

So awesome to have the support of my Congresswoman Jayapal @jayapal.house.gov. She showed up today at the U-Village/Seattle #TeslaTakedown and gave a rousing speech and told us this movement is exactly what we need to stop fascism. It'll be posted on @troublemakers.bsky.social's page soon!

Two friends took me out to the opening game of the Seattle Mariners tonight. They won, 4-2, btw.

Louder. Be louder. Fascism is here friends. 47k people in this stadium. Can we get as loud for freedom as much as we do for a home run?

This is Rumeysa Ozturk. I feel chills looking at her, wondering where ICE has taken her. Since Elon's tweet about me I've feared getting picked up like her. But I (still) have some level of protection as a citizen. But for how long? Being here on a visa doesn't mean you have no rights.

6 days ago, the world's richest man falsely accused me of "committing crimes" for protesting Tesla.

Today, I'm back outside a Tesla showroom in Seattle w/ 500 of my friends.

So long as people continue to speak up, authoritarianism will fail.

Video in 2 parts. Pt 2 in comments.

Made my first caga tío. In Cataluña, children will sing a song and beat the log, and it will poop out sweets. Since I can't easily get turrones in Seattle I'll have to find an alternative. Maybe those almond rocas??
