I love this post, especially the section at the end, offering information about particular action opportunities. Bravo!

I wanted to respond particularly to the section on labor participation and mobilization. I wrote two years ago about the opportunity for the labor movement to play a critical role and forcing an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza. While the labor movement has recently grown more mobilized, it remains both marginalized (especially by Trump’s effective neutralization of the NLRB), and also co-opted by the Democratic Party, despite its allegiance to Wall Street and the Pentagon. https://open.substack.com/pub/shahidbuttar/p/we-the-people-can-unplug-the-war?r=97w99&utm_medium=ios

If you plan to install solar panels, avoid Tesla inverters as well. Their tech has not kept up with advances in solar panel tech. Mt system blew through two Tesla inverters before they tweaked an inverter to make it work. I lost three months of solar generation.

Right on. I also propose that we stop calling him ‘the world’s richest man’ and instead call him ‘the world’s greediest parasite’. Billionaires are parasites. To call them rich is to play into the fantasy that creates the foundations of their power. No consensus, no power.

Yes, it is! Thank you!

And it's time to take down the grifter technoking, too.

Did you know about his grandpa, his dad, his apartheid emerald mine?

Do you know who his backers are?

Do you know he got his vision for Mars from Wehrner Von Braun?

Why are they splitting their strength? Both groups should be demonstrating on one day. We have to be smarter in how these things are organized.

Local leadership initiative is needed. You have what you need to make it happen at your closest Tesla. 🙏🏽

There's one tesla on my block. Its owner also has a Harris/Walz sign in their yard. Yes, still.

So...that's awkward.

There also are actions across Europe and the sales have crashed in multiple countries. I truly hope Germans will take note of what happened in the US, and the consequences of Musk meddling, before voting next week

Yes. I wish I could ditch Elon Internet, but it the only thing that works for my video game loving family in our middle of nowhere home. Gotta love navigating a billionaires world

Thought you should know: I just tried subscribing … I pressed the “subscribe” option and the little thingy that goes round and round when it’s trying to connect, has been doing so for at least five minutes!

Are others having THIS ISSUE? Are you being Blocked? Or am I being Blocked?… Seriously!

It IS unnerving… to say the least. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for that link. I’m just learning about these volatile batteries recently. I’m told it’s new and deficient technology—not ready for retail—and I can’t believe Tesla uses these dangerous batteries without greater public scrutiny. Media silence indeed.

Tesla is a tainted product, and now, we’re under contract to buy $400 MILLION worth of the Swasticar armored truck for the state department. They need them to protect THEM from US, and that is not hard to imagine how that will play out. Violence is inevitable. They’ve already planned for it, so better today than when they’re fully prepared with robot security in place.
