#TeslaTakedown #Austin 12/20/2025 I haven't posted for awhile, but we're still out here every Saturday. Had a special visitor today. Remains vital to continue visible resistance, and judging from the many honks and waves, we are appreciated. @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen multiple times Grateful Dead Bob Dylan San Francisco Symphony Brave Combo Dengue Fever

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Here's that PSA that the President wants to punish by death

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans. by Megyn Kelly

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

"Look, my husband is thirty-two years older than me, and *I'm* fine. That's basically what we're talking about here." - Karoline Leavitt, tomorrow, probably

The more we learn about Zohran Mamdani's upbringing, the clearer it becomes that he owes everything to his connected, well-to-do parents. by A.G. Sulzberger, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump, Jr.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 11/1/2025 Typical honks and waves, but also more slow-down-and-yell-out-the-window guys. Maybe maga is starting to see how much the country hates their Dear Leader. Anyway, as usual, blew them a kiss and/or made the heart sign. @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Hey NAVY, including sailors involved and leadership. There are no statutes of limitations on war crimes. Nuremburg also demonstrated that "following orders" is not considered a valid defense. This is going to be messy, particularly for some military families.

#NoKings #Austin Huge turnout. March stretched for upwards of 12 blocks.

@indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @numb.comfortab.ly

Austin, Texas showed up in mass for democracy and against monarchy! #NoKings #Austin #Texas

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 10/11/2025 Our group is like a wildcat strike - a strike without direct union support - as the formal resistance groups here tackle other crucial priorities. Still 8-10 of us show up every week without formal organization... @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 10/4/2025 A Robotaxi - they're being unsafely piloted here - actually pulled in behind us, across from the dealer. I stood in front of it, but it couldn't figure out to back up - so its "safety" monitor had to drive it off 😅. @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 9/27/2025 Back in 90+ heat in Austin, where term "endless summer" is devoid of positive connotations. Shout-out to excellent work also being done by relatively new @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social opposing Robotaxis and tax rebates for the local Tesla factory. @teslatakedown.com

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 9/14/2025 About a dozen of us today, though some peeled off early to prep for an anti-ICE protest later in the day. Plenty of support as usual, but two cars and one employee stopped to argue with us. Tense times, I guess. @teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 9/6/2025 - A bit smaller turnout today, since there was a simultaneous protest at a Tesla on the other side of town. Chant of the day: "Fascists, fascists they all fall down!" Photos include Larry and Dan, regulars who you would never believe are brothers 😅@teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/30/2025 I missed last week's (out of town), but back at it today, along with 13 others. Dealership tried remotely honking the weak, flatulent-sounding horn of a cybertruck parked near the street a few times to disrupt us, to zero avail. Pathetic. @teslatakedown.com

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

This is a really great piece ostensibly about the Disney Parks but really about increasing American economic inequality. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...

A couple dozen folks at the Texas Capitol protesting the kidnapping of State Rep Collier by the GOP, with, as I understand it, a much larger gathering planned for this evening.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/16/2025 At it once again. And still lots of honks, waves, and thumbs-up. Resist fascism, kids, any way you can... @teslatakedown.com

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/9/2025 - Still at it in the increasingly brutal Austin summer heat. Just down the street, the sight of row upon row of unsold - likely unsellable - cybertrucks at the dealership's auxiliary lot provokes a bit of schadenfreude... @teslatakedown.com

Police have announced the discovery of a monstrous child sex trafficking ring in a concrete bunker in rural, deep red Alabama. So why does it feel like they discovered it at a pizza parlor in urban, deep blue Washington, DC?

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 8/2/2025. Slightly smaller turnout in South Austin this week (10 people), as there was a simultaneous protest at the North Austin location. Still, as usual, lots of friendly honks and waves. Dislike for Elon remains strong... @teslatakedown.com

are you sure there isn’t another way, richest man alive?

here's a useful critical annotation of zuck's "superintelligence" memo sonjadrimmer.com/blog-1/2025/...

There is a fundamental line that is being elided here, between a tool (an extension of your will/self that enables you to complete specific tasks) and an autonomous tool (a systems whose logic and function is tied to something other than your will/self). We ignore that line at our peril.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 7/26/2025 - still going strong, even in the Austin summer heat. 20 protesters today, though a dearth of good camera angles for getting very many at a time... @teslatakedown.com

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

why can’t he just pretend Mamdani is Trump and do nothing

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 7/19/2025 - Another week, another protest, today with a Roman guest. Apropos of one of the signs, I'd like to encourage folks to look into whether their local governments are still using X. Unfortunately, Austin's is; time to agitate for that to stop... @teslatakedown.com

"Should I actually get out?" asks one concerned rider. Better yet: don't get into a swasticab in the first place. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 7/12/2025 Still at it. In fact the city has been so impressed by our persistence over these past months that they installed a crosswalk, ped xing signs, and pylons to slow traffic as we protest on both sides of the street. @teslatakedown.com

Schumer to allow vote to advance the GOP funding bill. “I am surprised but quite astounded that Chuck Schumer would choose to give up the one weapon he has to try and push back against this all fronts Trump authoritarian advance.” @edwardluce.bsky.social

1/2 #TeslaTakedown #Austin 6/28/2025 - An excellent Crappy Birthday Elon edition this week, with 60+ in attendance as ever organized by ‪@resistaustin.bsky.social, which included a nazi-salute-giving Elon inflatable tube man, a person in a hilarious Fat Baby Trump costume,...

Everyone needs to start reporting ICE agents are Iranian sleeper cells.

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 6/21/2025 - Another week in South Austin. At the end, we sent birthday cards to Elon at his Austin "residence," where traffic and masses of Teslas parking has ruined a quiet street. 109 Stratford Reserve Place, Austin 78746, if you are feeling the love. @teslatakedown.com

Seems like a lot of people probably don’t even realize this happened. nypost.com/2024/11/25/u...

A few more from #NoKings #Austin .

#NoKings #Austin The crowd on the street *outside* the Capitol grounds. There are easily 20 times as many people *inside*

#NoKings #Austin - started a half-hour ago. Thousands here and thousands still streaming in.

What happened yesterday should radicalize you The LA ICE raid was full-on fascism The Abrego Garcia case is an abomination. We have a government that concocts charges against anyone it doesn't like, and pardons any criminal that supports Trump. And they are just getting started Free Kilmar!

#TeslaTakedown #Austin 6/7/2025 This week, the south Austin location. I think we're starting to get on the Tesla employees' nerves. Previously ignored us, but this week one gave us the middle finger as he retreated into the showroom and another made a show of taking photos of us. @teslatakedown.com
