Let’s make it drop further. There are Tesla Takedown protests in Europe too! It’s growing both within the US and outside of it

Harris had the majority in both of the cities I listed. 59% of Dallas county (which includes much more than the city of Dallas) voted for Harris

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Texas

80% of St Louis city voted for Harris

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Missouri

Nor is it a super majority either state overall. 56% of Texas went for Trump, and 58% of Missouri

There are millions who voted against this. Don’t condemn them all

There have been protests for those too. Media coverage of protests has been severely limited making you think fewer people have been fighting back than they have. Here’s one in Dallas

Here’s another in St. Louis

There have even been people protesting ICE during their raids and doing things like loudly telling people around ICE is there and about their constitutional rights. It’s been effective enough that ICE has been complaining about how they are below targets

The USPS unions organized these protests against the entire USPS being dismantled. Sounds kind of like a thing unions should do. Privitizing it is way worse than just affecting “junk mail”

In various parts of the country USPS is the only place that will deliver mail to people because it’s unprofitable to do so. Zero mail service nearby affects a lot. For instance, need medications delivered, you may lose that option

For anyone who is a US Citizen living abroad, here is one site some resources for how to vote abroad

I should also note that with local & statewide elections, the next elections you can vote in may be sooner than you think. You don’t have to wait for the midterms. There have been 61 elections since January across the US in just this year and many more scheduled. They typically get less attention but still have tons of impact

He’s aware of it at least per the article

“Crazy,” wrote Musk on his social media site X (formerly known as Twitter), in response to a video of Premier David Eby speaking to the rebate ban.

We can still fight back on the state level. States and local levels will lead the way for progress here

California got a state law to enforce net neutrality in 2018. This is a good part of what limited the damage of Trump overturning it the first time

90% the things Trump suggests are not something he actually does. The trouble is you’re never sure which 10% are what he will do

He floods the zone with so much intentionally that it all looks like noise. Don’t get twisted by it all. It’s designed to make you numb and assume he is more powerful than he is. He’s done that this term and he did it during his first term

Follow his direct actions more than his words. Based on actions, I’d actually be a bit more alarmed for Panama invasion than Canada right now. He directed military to create plans for that. Watch it more closely

Watch for any movement / build up of troops. He could still be bluffing here, but this is more than what he’s done for other places as far as I’m aware. His actions and orders from here out will be much more telling than any of his words will be

The meatpacking industry has some of the highest rates of workplace injuries compared to most industries. Not to mention the immense physiological toll it puts on top of it all with workers getting high rates of PTSD, depression, etc.

Fun fact, there are two entire human rights watch reports just about the meatpacking industry

“When We’re Dead and Buried, Our Bones Will Keep Hurting” (2019)

"Blood, Sweat, and Fear: Workers’ Rights in U.S. Meat and Poultry Plants (2005)

Trump cut $400 million in federal funding despite them doing basically everything Trump wanted from them earlier. I hope this statement means someone inside the university is realizing that appeasement doesn’t work. Trump will keep demanding more from you and want you to be complicit in worse and worse actions with no end - until you stand up

Tesla share price is largely off of vibes, not how the company is actually doing. Boycotts and protests hurt the vibes more than the Trump money slush fund helps the vibes

If it was prices like every other automaker based on profit, it’d be enormously lower in price than it is

Keep boycotting, and join protests outside Tesla showrooms. ~60% of Musk’s wealth is in Tesla shares. Tank the stock and tank his wealth and thus influence

There are protests all across the US and starting to spring up in other countries. Here’s a list of upcoming ones + a guide to help organize one around you if none exist

Local & state level is where a lot of the progress will live on in the near future. Call your local legislators & vote in every local election - they are way more frequent across the country than you may realize

People have been suing and taking all kinds of action against DOGE, they just don’t get as many headlines as the horrible stuff. Dem state attorney have filed a ton and gotten things like federal funding to the state restored - see for instance PA getting $2 Billion in federal funding unfrozen. People are fighting, the media is just minimally covering it

Here’s a tracker of all the ongoing lawsuits https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/

Strong suspicion that this whole trend has been beef industry influenced and or funded. Especially since they quite often decide to tout beef tallow (somehow as “healthy”) instead of a non-seed based oil like olive oil, avocado oil, etc.

For some context of the other things the beef industry has done before:

Using checkoff money, NCBA [National Cattlemen’s Beef Association] has developed what it has called a “Digital Command Center” – a sophisticated online monitoring system that tracks media outlets and social media for more than 200 beef-related topics. Hosted in Denver in a space that “looks like a military operations center combined with the TV section at an electronics retailer”, according to a recent Cattlemen’s Beef Board mailer sent to ranchers, the command center alerts members of NCBA’s issues management and media relations team whenever stories or online chatter rise above a certain threshold. It’s staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with personnel redundancies built in to make sure someone’s always watching.

Civil cases are not something you can pardon for, only criminal cases (and only federal criminal cases for the president)

Don’t do Trump’s work for him by spreading apathy and dispair. He wants us complacent and to forget the power we have. He is far weaker than he seems so he has to project absolute power. Don’t give anything to him for free

Local and state officals can enforce laws on their own without federal involvement

Assuming everything is doomed to fail is exactly what Trump and Musk want from you. They want you to stop fighting or trying because you might realize they are weaker than you think. Don’t do their work for them
