Brutal.

Safety concerns emerge as Tesla robotaxis prepare for launch Though the test was completed with child-sized manikins as opposed to real children, the Tesla failed the test all six times.

"Tesla’s full self driving mode was put to the test — would it stop for the stop signs on a school bus and avoid hitting children crossing the road? ...Tesla failed the test all six times." #teslatakedown

#nokings. Downtown LA showed up today! It was inspiring and moving and only the beginning.

Go Padilla Go!

Hoping for a powerful but peaceful show of force in LA. California says NO to KINGS.

Also hot dogs and buns.

The way I see it, there are 4 big tools to fight this authoritarian administration:
- Congress (useless, compromised/terrified)
- Journalism (KEY, but weakened economically, legally & culturally)
- Justice system (stronger, but dangerously wobbly w Trump ignoring rulings & law firms folding)…

Share with someone in the White House ....

A map showing over 1,000 events planned for Saturday across the US (plus Canada, England, France, and Portugal).

This is the Hands Off! map for Saturday. Nearly 400,000 people have signed up to attend over 1,000 events in all 50 states. We hope to see you in the streets in two days to let Trump and Musk know they can’t intimidate us into submission: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

For the record- I am not, have never been, and never will be owned by Donald trump.

I dressed up, made a sign, and went to two different #teslatakedown events over the weekend. With an undiagnosed broken foot. Where’s my damn check?!?

If you aren’t horrified -if you aren’t actively doing something to stop this-you are complicit.

We were thinking something simpler? Flyers that read For sale! Cheap! And then a local number. Maybe an activist group? Passers by only see that teslas are selling cheap. Devalues them. Anyone interested in buying gets embarrassed. And no one risks arrest. Thoughts?

Thank you. I thought I was so clever but I think it escaped many. I needed to hear someone saw it. 🤪

What do we do when democracy is under attack? Stand up. Fight back!!! #teslatakedown @theusefulidiots.bsky.social

This is my life.

Thanks for the alert!!!

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

You make the D list sound amazing.

Please re-post as much as possible! We want to get thousands of people to March.

America is worth fighting for.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

RFK Jr. wants to send people addicted to antidepressants to government "wellness farms" The farms will "reparent" them.

Just when I thought I couldn’t be more terrified.

Yes!

It’s the worst. Ugh. I lived in Japan though and there it’s worse. Some over there call L.A. “La.” Like the note that follows “So.” They do have good tea with jam and bread there, so, that brings us back to, “D’oh!!” (Every LA resident knows at least one person who worked on the Simpson.)

What I call my comfy boxer briefs when they actually have flies.
