If you’re a public employee in CA please know that CalPERS has shown historically that they’re movable on this. Talk to your union reps.

"Public pension funds in California, New York, and Illinois have invested more than $6.1 billion in six companies that bankrolled Trump’s election or are deeply involved in carrying out his authoritarian agenda." — Much of it in Tesla 🧵 #teslatakedown www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This took place Saturday night, and I have found zero reporting on it. Might be a random human error, or it might be Tesla's forst documented crash in South Austin.

Locals need to start recording every incident involving a Tesla with manufacturer plates, because nobody else will! #TeslaTakedown

☠️deadward niedermurder☠️ @niedermeyer.online · Jun 29

Just now: disabled Tesla with manufacturer plates on Barton Springs Drive in South Austin, apparently hit from behind. Another Tesla on manufacturer plates is on the scene with responding officers. No idea what happened, was literally just walking by.

Stay safe Austin!

Why is Deutsche Telekom funding a fascist in the USA?

"Deutsche Telekom is not and should not be a 'silent partner" in T-Mobile USA, nor should it be a silent partner to Nazism. Call on Telekom to compel T-Mobile USA to cut its ties with Starlink."
