The effects of anti-Tesla action Activists find an effective target for their energy. Also, you're not too late to help.

Tesla stock is down 14% since close of markets last Friday. What happened during that time? One answer: mass protests.

I describe what it was like at one such protest. What I saw fulfills what I describe as neuroscience-based requirements for effective action. samwang.substack.com/p/the-effect...

Thank you @versedaily.bsky.social for featuring my poem โ€œOde to Americaโ€ first published by @glasspoetry.bsky.social - I first wrote it in 2021 and sometimes wondered later if it was too angry. But itโ€™s a diagnosis. Now we have to make things better by moving toward the real dream of a collective.

โ€œI wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.โ€

One week from inauguration and we are living in the heart of the evil empire. The earth doesnโ€™t need us. We will destroy ourselves or we will destroy this cruel empire. The earth continues either way
