You don’t have to “sign up”. You can just scroll down a bit to the “Find A Protest Now” button, or click the direct link I provided above.

ETA, you don’t even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.

    I highly recommend not visiting this website, but if you absolutely should please use Tor. The log collection policy of this website is unknown and god forbid somehow the logs are obtained it could be used against you.

      This is good advice. Thoth here’s a thought. Most people around here know about tor and VPNs and http proxies and whatever else. And even without that probably in general leave a more anonymous footprint on the web. I’m betting there are millions of “normies” visiting that site from their phones following FB or X (lol) or IG or TikTok links. (Which would be the same phones they will have on them when they attend one of these protests. ) But I’m betting there’s millions of visitors. Trump can’t even deport millions of people, much as he’d like to claim. If they start arresting millions for visiting a website (not that they’d have anywhere to put them) that would certainly have people rioting in the streets.

      The admin running the site is blocking access from Tor.

      Error: Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.

      Edit: I just sent them an email to the address on their WhoIs registration asking them to allow Tor. Email is 8hugsrrg2j7xebd@proxy.dreamhost.com, I encourage you to do the same.

      Or this is all a honeypot and we’re all fucked. Yippee!

      People who don’t mind being lumped in with Nazis. Teslas might be sold by owners at a loss, but besides the CyberStuck the other models sell used.

      For example where I live in Canada the district has never voted anything but conservative for decades. Nobody is harassing Tesla owners here, different story if they drive 25 kilometers down the highway into the city.

        I’ve kind of debated buying one just because it possibly can be a great deal on an electric car. Slap a few “I hate Elon” magnets on there and hopefully no one torches it lol.

          If you can avoid 1st party Tesla service centers (not user friendly or pro right to repair like an Apple product and attitude) and deal with the “I’m not a nazi, just frugal” stickers, it could be worth any perceived risk.

          I get the other view, that it’s quite wasteful to just destroy them. Not that it would’ve happened anyways. That wouldn’t be realistic, just progressive fantasies.

      No one. Which is why we shouldn’t bother existing Tesla owners.

      But they should still put their cars up for sale. Flood the market.

              There was nothing about your comment indicating it was something Trump said. He says a thousand dumbass things every day. Nobody can keep track of it all. You shouldn’t expect everyone to have had all the same experiences you’ve had. A comment like that really requires a /s to signal that you’re not being serious.

                It’s genuinely not my problem if you aren’t able to discern reality from sarcasm. Take personal responsibility for your own mistakes. Telling other people off because you made a mistake just makes you look silly. I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are.

              Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

              Not all of us have the means to overthrow a government. We do have the means to make buying a Tesla as embarrassing and as difficult as possible.

              If you want to help fund a government overthrow, I suggest that you work with the embassy for your country in the US to help make that change.

              We obviously know it’s broken. The far right has control of every branch of the government, tell us how new laws are passed when there are no checks and balances?

              And yes, before its stated, i know a lot of blame is on the left who didn’t codify shit when they had the chance, that’s the past, that doesn’t help us now.

      Musk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don’t generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.

                  These are not things individuals can do this weekend. These all require the actions of the politicians that are owned by the billionaires that don’t want these changes. What are your great ideas that individual citizens can implement right now?

          His other companies aren’t valued as highly.

          The only one that seems to make money is SpaceX, and that one isn’t public so we don’t actually know if it makes money or it’s as shitty as all his other companies.

          Without Tesla he’ll have real trouble getting loans… or Trump will give him a bailout, obviously, but it would still be useful if more people saw that he’s not self-made and relies on free money from the government.

          At the very least, it has to slightly annoy him. But likely also has a psychological effect. Will it make him suddenly decide not to be an asshole? Probably not. But it may spin him further out of control, to where he starts making even stupider decisions until he finally fucks with the wrong people or the wrong stuff and then really finds out.

          Yup. If Tesla goes down, he won’t be able to take out loans as easily anymore and might need to sell assets for liquid cash.

      There’s a million things you could do with that. The musk of kleptocracy? I dunno.

      Or you could do a bunch of other Elon refences - Don’t buy from klepto-guy, gimme a Model FU, Elon owes a horse by now, etc.
