#Handsoff rally today in affluent, suburban Walnut Creek, CA! Somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 enthusiastic participants, I would estimate.

My 83 year-old dad joined a protest for the first time in his life today.

American Gestapo.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

It’s wild that everyone who wants America to be “run as a business” seems to want lower taxes. That’s not what a business would do if it had a monopoly and the violence of the government behind it to set whatever price it wanted. A business would send taxes through the roof.

#TeslaTakedown in Walnut Creek, CA today. Getting bigger every week! Must have been at least 500 of us this time. Keep it g(r)owing, everyone!

There's still time. Call your Dem Senators.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

One week from today! Trying out some new things for my workshop this year, which can always be a bit of a dice roll. 🎲🎲 Looking forward to seeing old friends at GDC and making some new ones! #gdc #gdc2025

Now that the influential bigot who did a Hitler salute publicly claimed that organic protests against his malfeasance are secretly controlled by a list of foreign Jews, some of whom aren’t even alive today, are we allowed to call him a Nazi, or is there something even Nazier we have to wait for?

Around 300 of us today in Walnut Creek! I was here a month ago and we barely broke 100. Keep it going! #TeslaTakedown

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Berkeley: bigger and louder this time, with mariachi musicians to boot! #TeslaTakedown

No need to even pretend anymore, apparently.

About 150 of us at the #TeslaTakedown rally in Berkeley today. Keep it going!

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

It’s pretty fucked up that they would just take things, just steal things, to advance their AI, I can’t believe China would do that to OpenAI

Most of the Executive Orders we have seen so far are fanfiction.

Do NOT obey in advance!

3 things about this message that greeted millions of Americans on TikTok today: 1) the shamelessness of Trump who just U-turned on his opposition to TikTok. 2) the shamelessness of these tech companies, sucking up to Trump. 3) the fecklessness of Biden who gave Trump this win.

Drumpf's first term was a sick joke, and as we all know, comedy sequels suck. Hang tight, everyone, and prepaare to RESIST.

Weak. Real manly masculine men would have kept it outdoors and taken off their shirts to show what badasses they are. But these are pampered little princelings with tiny hands.

It's official! (For the 18th time, in case anyone's still counting!) schedule.gdconf.com/session/stor...
