Spring has fully sprung in Atlanta, which is pollen-y and beautiful.
Life working its magic.

Makes me ache anew that so much humanness is out of step with it. And remember anew how possible it is to renew and blossom 🌸

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Troublemakers @troublemakers.bsky.social · Mar 10

Musk doesn't get how nonviolent protest works. Why are we Troublemakers? Because as Rep. John Lewis, RIP, knew: in hard times, good trouble is ESSENTIAL to all that we love.

When the world is at risk, when democracy is at risk, we're either troublemakers—or collaborators.

So: who's a Troublemaker?

Elon Musk tweet from Saturday morning that says: An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.

ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.

ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel.

If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.

Elon Musk retweet from Sunday morning of a post from an account labeled "KanekoaTheGreat" that has a short video clip of a podcast with Scott Parkin and Valerie Costa, and the post ludicrously says: Valerie Costa, the far-left activist behind the so-called "Tesla Takedown" fueling a spree of vandalism nationwide, proudly admits her campaign draws inspiration from Luigi Mangione.

She labels Elon Musk's DOGE initiative as "criminal," even though Trump won both the popular vote and presidency, specifically while championing Musk and DOGE's vision to balance the budget.

Clearly, Costa has no genuine respect for democracy, elections, or the people's choice.

Ironically, Costa's "TroublemakersCommunity" and "Oil & Gas Action Network" previously targeted fossil fuel companies to fight climate change.

Now, in a stunning twist of hypocrisy, she's attacking Tesla—the very company that's arguably done more than any other to combat climate change.

Did she ever honestly care about climate change, or was she always just virtue-signaling the DNC's latest talking points?

Digging deeper reveals Costa’s career specialty: advising left-wing NGOs and nonprofits on fundraising and securing government-funded grants.

Precisely the kind of waste and abuse that Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are courageously battling to eliminate.

All I want for Christmas…is industrial decarbonization 🤷🏻‍♀️🎄

What do we do about steel, cement, and all the rest? @leahstokes.bsky.social and I break it down in a new episode of A Matter of Degrees.

Cleaning Up Industry — A Matter of Degrees

The industrial sector makes all of our physical stuff – the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the buildings we live in, and much more. It’s also one of the biggest sources of U.S. climate pollution.
