In nearly every community, there's some corporate nonsense afoot, but the people are ever-vigilant. It's not a partisan issue. What's at stake is known to all. The bought-out media spews a narrative of tension and division, but there are those who know better. (2/x)

I think we should throw some kind of celebration when it hits $100.
Share price of Tesla was $480, now it is $240.
Tesla stock s a toxic brand. Get rid of him.

Hot tip! When someone says a lawful, harmless action "should be illegal", they are telling you what they wish they could do, but can't.

Treat it like a big blinking quest marker ❗️
6 days ago, the world's richest man falsely accused me of "committing crimes" for protesting Tesla.

Today, I'm back outside a Tesla showroom in Seattle w/ 500 of my friends.

So long as people continue to speak up, authoritarianism will fail.

This new video essay by @adamconover.net is a rallying cry for what we need to be doing going forward, with examples of it already working (after a 10 minute summary of the fire hose of events leading up to now — I've timestamped the link below to where it really begins):

LAPD's SWAT rose out of the Watts Rebellion as a counter-insurgency force against future Black and Brown uprisings in the city. Now, you can hire them on demand to be your private security. New from me:
Are you a high-profile Angeleno, a nervous healthcare executive, or simply worried about running errands in the city and needing your next ride-share to come with a bit of armed protection? Now, there’s an app for that.

I invite artists to remix this graphic for their own country and add to the story! Not just a USA problem. though we sincerely apologize for creating the mess

Special economic zones (SEZs) are the legal method that supports network state projects all over the world.

If you're resisting such projects like the Freedom City in Presidio, It might be good to get familiar with their framework and playbook. I'll be posting resources as I learn 📖
⚠️WARNING⚠️
The exact same chaos from the Trump administration that is wrecking infrastructure is being replicated in the UK, it’s just being done by stealth in 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports.

Bay Area artists! I think this is a good opportunity to make a zine or other art celebrating the beauty of this area. A common tactic of these projects is to portray the areas they wish to control as barren, unproductive, or 'crime-ridden', a justification for "progress".

Small actions can add up, so I'll be using it for my tries at this - even if they are cringe, even if it doesn't look like it would ever catch on. Even when I fail miserably! Change is created now.
My daily reminder to keep imagining the world I want to live in. The world I want for my community - now, and far into the future. We must keep imagining it & keep sharing our visions of a brighter future with each other - so that we can make it a reality. #plantingtheseedsofchange #solarpunk

The Jan 6 'patriots' are now cheering on Curtis Yarvin's company towns.

..Is anyone going to tell them where the term "redneck" actually comes from?
February 21, 2025 at 9:53 PM
The advice I'm giving to those around me is, pay attention to the fires you can put out.

The dark enlightenment stuff can feel overwhelming - but preventing material gains of land and resources is actually possible. People have disproportiate power on the local level.
I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/
Trump issued an executive order to drastically shrink the Presidio Trust, the federal agency overseeing San Francisco’s Presidio, a national park site at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

Please don't uncritically share anonymously written articles that sound like they *could* be true. Whistleblowers don't confess to working on a scary unethical powerful product and by the way, use the link below to try it. I am losing my mind!
January 14, 2025 at 1:12 AM
This is not a whistleblower! This is a promotion for Eliza AI Agent "framework". It's a wrapped LLM with no credible affiliation to Musk/Andreessen. The founder is a serial crypto scammer. More clicks on the github repo make it seem popular and affiliated with big names, pumping the token.
