“Ultimately, the outcome was the agency was left broken and understaffed ... They didn’t have the people they needed to carry out basic functions.” I am so old that I remember how pretty much every Republican in Congress including some Dems thought #DOGE was a good idea.

100% this thread! Call your reps! Call them AGAIN! and AGAIN! THEY DO NOT GET IT.

In a way, the NYT is a critical part of the rightwing bullshit machinery because it elevates fever-swamp garbage into coherent-sounding, "reasonable people can agree to disagree" narratives for elites to coalesce around. Not just giving any emotional outrage a pseudo-polite paintjob, but ... 17/

We need an environmental movement that builds things* *bollards, concrete barriers, vegetated buffers

the #boycottdisneyabc #boycottdisney movement gets the goods! there's an important lesson here. let's talk about why winning fights like this is critical to saving #democracy. Kudos @nelini.bsky.social and the organizers who made this thing catch fire

#MuskMustFall #TeslaTakedown

If you're housebound today (or in South Dakota, where there's no event), join us for a virtual Sun Day extravaganza! actionnetwork.org/events/think...

anyway, if you want to know why I have so little time for the "Abundance" folks who want to convince you that environmental regulations are smothering growth and prosperity, once again the answer is "literally just paying attention to Tesla"

The #teslatakedown Seattle crew is taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to defend the first amendment at our local ABC affiliate, and to make sure our neighbors know to #boycottdisneyabc! 🧵 of my favorite signs and outfits @troublemakers.bsky.social @defundmusk.bsky.social

we're going to win

Amazing coverage as Sun Day weekend starts! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/c...

This morning!

Elon got in bed with Trump. In exchange, Tesla got: -Unprecedented brand damage -Global sales tanking -End of carbon credits worth billions per year -End of EV buyer tax credit -And now...this What a great businessman he is. A real genius. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Tomorrow, Saturday, at 10am! Come tell KOMO what you think about the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel and their capitulation to fascism. 140 4th Ave N., Seattle. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... #ditchdisney #boycottdisneyabc

Last day! PLEASE COMMENT....we need the roadless rule, and so do the countless creatures who live in these forests.

And it's not just the VA, of course. How many people are going to take a pay cut for a nice, "stable" government job now? We're losing all our expertise. Heaven help us.

Last day! PLEASE COMMENT....we need the roadless rule, and so do the countless creatures who live in these forests.

Next weekend! A fine way to wind down the summer, connect and train up for the many struggle ahead.

Because you showed up outside Tesla dealerships Musk was forced out of Washington. Since then he’s been busy shitposting & trying to resurrect his flailing empire via xAI grifting. This deep dive is a great look inside just how badly that is going. Spread the word: xAI is falling apart, as is Musk.

Tesla is probably worth around $50 billion based on fundamentals, but it has a trillion dollar valuation based on pipe dream promises like this. At some point Wall Street is going to have to face the music, and it's gonna be fucking ugly. #teslatakedown

This is so important. Seeing the vast red flags for genAI—and demanding that they be addressed in a precautionary way—doesn't equate to thinking all machine learning is useless. It is & will be very useful! But it won't save the world, and genAI's current trajectory is catastrophic.

Love SNL or hate it when I worked there in the 90’s we literally would talk about how making fun of the President means the country, no matter how F’d up, is at least still functioning.

I spent some time with @billmckibben.bsky.social talking about solar energy and walked away with a feeling that I almost had forgotten about: hope. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/16/m...

This was the site of our first #TeslaTakedown, on Feb.13. Later, one of our folks brought a Spirit Halloween banner. May this be the end of the story for every one of them, & he a tiny footnote in the history of the fading madness we experienced on our way to a more just & sustainable world.

Check out the Seattle Times’ 10 Actions to Protect Democracy — FBF is featured! 📰✍️ www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit... #FederalBuildingFriday #KnowYourRights #GoodTrouble #SeattleActivism #Solidarity #AbolishICE #ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike

A lot has changed since I hurriedly recorded this back in February, most notably Elon's departure from the Trump administration, but the underlying material conditions that make this strategy possible are all basically unchanged. Hate Elon? Go after his money. Here's how: youtu.be/L-Imw_s1aaI?...

Federal Building Friday gets going down at the federal building today at 11:30! Join us to hear more about upcoming actions in the Seattle area, organize local businesses against ICE, and as always, to stand with our federal workers! Come on by!

We tried to deliver our petition with more than 20k signatures, including 5k customers, to T-Mobile. They called the cops. #tmobile doesn't care about customers. They're in bed with Trump and Musk. It's time to #BoycottTmobile #teslatakedown @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social join us: tmobileboycott.org

Fascist tool erases fascist tool.

Hey #teslatakedown friends - here's something quick and helpful to do. Go to this stupid article, scroll down about halfway, and vote YES on the "will you take part in the T-Mobile boycott?" poll www.phonearena.com/news/organiz...

Join us 9/25-28 for the Deep Roots Forest Climate Convergence, a weekend to give people the tools to take effective action! We're bringing forest, climate, & justice activists together to strengthen connections, share tools, & mobilize resistance to Trump's assault on communities & public lands.

Any company doing business with Musk right now should be shunned. Have T-mobile? Switch if you can, and let them know why. No Nazis in the supply chain! #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall

'With their towering canopies & thick bark, giant sequoias have adapted to withstand low-intensity fire, and even need it to reproduce. But ferocious fire in recent years, fueled by climate change, has proved fatal to the trees that experts once thought were impervious to flame' do we need trees?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

our boy out here hyping the 5th and 6th-generation chips that will totally "solve self-driving," for real this time bro, while something like 3-4 million cars using the 3rd gen chip don't even have an upgrade path finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-mu...

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall

This is why I get so annoyed at the narrative that Elon and the Trump admin had some falling out. It is clear that in reality, he funneled a bunch of money to himself, accomplished some Nazism, and left to reposition himself as a political outsider again.

Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/

Watch how long it takes this clanker to do, well, anything 🤦‍♂️💀 #fail #teslatakedown

One thing we don't talk about enough IMO is how Elon Musk came to DC, destroyed foreign aid, and then oopsied back to his little companies. An estimated 450,000 people have already died because of this!

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

Ok burning man. We see you 🤣 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

#defundmusk #teslatakedown He’s still an active menace! @troublemakers.bsky.social @defundmusk.bsky.social

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.

Thousands of ICE agents are doing a lot more damage to our social fabric than millions of undocumented immigrants.

Lol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.
