Come for the advice on engaging local government... stay for the rant on excessive baked goods in my pantry.

This. All. Day. Now that the no national injunctions precedent has been set, get all that Amarillo shit outta here.

Incredible news. This kind of thing doesn't happen without tens of thousands of #teslatakedown activists taking action week in and week out to make Tesla's brand toxic. Keep pushing, friends! #MuskMustFall www.wsoctv.com/news/local/c...

the code of silence that has kept SpaceX's image so squeaky clean is collapsing, and it turns out to be another depraved Elon chaos nightmare www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLoun...

100% F this guy. His vision is a persistent government surveillance state that nitpicks every decision we make in our lives. Like everything else the GOP is doing... what happened to freedom?!

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

This reminds me of the time an Austin resident was complaining about some thing the City was doing by complaining she didn't know about it. I believe the quote was something like "I don't read the news, I don't get text messages or emails, and the City failed to tell anyone about it!"

This has been the pattern on so many issues. GOP/Trump breaks it, then either 1) Uses it as evidence the system is broken, or 2) Undoes the breaking and takes credit for solving it. Over and over again.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

The cruelty is the point... and slave labor is the outcome. horrific.

When I was on #atxcouncil we voted down a multi-million dollar facility for police horses – over objections of how necessary they were for crowd control. Seems like having horses doesn't control anything and the animals are put in harms way just to further brutality.

Rep @doggett.house.gov made a good point at a town hall earlier this year. He makes these points about Trump, GOP, etc when doing interviews but the media cuts those parts out when they run it. Sure the message can be better but do we have distribution?

Literally every word that comes out of Musk's mouth is a lie. Full self driving, humanoid robots, and that he's done destroying America. Join me and @resistaustin.bsky.social every weekend in both North and South Austin! #TeslaTakedown #MuskLies

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

Elon really ruined his entire brand over nothing. He himself doesn’t even agree with Trump’s policies. Knowing that all of his “work” was in vain, and his businesses are now failures…. is PEAK 🏔️

What policy differences do people have with "progressives"? Is it just me or is it often something like "well, sure I want people to have healthcare but I don't like this one specific idea to implement it... so therefore I have to vote for people who oppose the thing I want"

Democrats continue to show they have learned nothing.

Exactly. The rw project is deep emotional messaging bordering hypnosis to their 30% base. There is no left version of that and there is no 30% base on the left to hypnotise. We need our own things that speak to our complex big tent coalition and not just bizarro-world fascism propaganda.

A lot of Joe Rogan's influence comes from his ability to surface and lend an air of credibility to folks from the fringe. Which is the absolute last thing any of these centrists want, so I truly I have no idea what they think their project is here

2 months straight of weekly #TeslaTakedown in Austin. Credit to @resistaustin.bsky.social for keeping the momentum going!

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

They keep making the same mistake that the electorate is fixed and adding from the right is the only way to win. The reality is that only the right is fixed at 30-35%. Elections are won when we turn out the left. Going "right" will fail and you'll lose the left at the same time.

Only a straight white dude could think Republicans aren't constantly judging, ostracizing, and excommunicating people.

Say it plainly @texastribune.org – Republicans want to eliminate the existence of LGBTQ people. This has nothing to do with sexually explicit. Repeating their framing of it is malpractice.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Shocking that it needs to be said – but there is no amount of economic development incentives worth working with a fascist. There's no winning when you work with a swamp creature - you both just end up covered in the same rot and filth.

Because of course a stack of lies about a person's affiliation with a "gang" is itself based on a deal with a guy that likes to work with gangs. Truly every accusation is a confession with these fascists!

The whole notion that a "right" is dependent on citizenship means it's not a right and that it can be taken away from anyone.

Thousands gathered right here in Austin as part of the national May Day March and Protest against the many horrible Trump Admin policies and actions. We will continue to stand up for what's right and make our voices heard! Read more here >> www.kut.org/austin/2025-... (Photos: Philip Arno)

#TeslaTakedown in Austin will not stop... No Kings in America – not Trump, not Musk, not any of these broligarchs! @resistaustin.bsky.social

They have ADMITTED to manipulating their AI bots to be more like Trump. No human-interactive AI technology can be trusted.

Tesla's profits may be down 71% but the @resistaustin.bsky.social #TeslaTakedown will not be stopped until Musk is completely out of government!

Every state needs to do this ASAP

So he cost Tesla more than he saved with DOGE. Galaxy brain sh*t

A total piece of sh*t never takes a day off. He could have just said no and not lied on behalf of a homicidal dictator.

In honor of the #DragRace finale and #Easter, I present the best crossover reference in drag race herstory. @heidincloset.bsky.social

Once they have convinced people they have all the data, they will lie about what it says to implement their evil aims.

Another example! This chart means we need to hit *harder* on immigration, not ignore it. Do not cede any area to these fascists!

THIS – one of the great failures of national dem consultants is thinking that polling defines a ceiling to what is possible instead of identifying where your message hasn't reached.

Most Americans have never heard of the "Fitter Families for Future Firesides" contests. But they should. Because the ideology behind them never really disappeared. 🧵1/14

Great turnout at the Texas Capitol for the #50501 protest picnic. #HandsOff

Austin #TeslaTakedown takes it to the south location today, as strong as ever!

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

So obvious to those not in the MAGA cult – But also evidence that the authoritarian gambit is not unbreakable. Clearly Bukele worried about the optics enough to do the ham-fisted propaganda. These dictators know they stand on a cliffs edge that can crumble at any minute

Truly inspiring leadership from @vanhollen.senate.gov

I genuinely do not understand how NYC keeps electing insane mayors.

I am advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. You should too.

You are a f*cking Senator. No one's voice is MORE protected than a member of Congress. Is this just rank cowardice or is Murkowski just hiding her actual support for authoritarianism and the destruction of the Constitution?
