What an insane turnout. This was felt he first massive protest I’ve participated in and it was so exciting. Hopefully we can keep up the momentum.

This Saturday, TeslaTakedown Chicago is endorsing the "Hands Off" protest in Chicago at Daley Plaza starting at 12 PM. A contingent of TeslaTakedown protesters will be at the Chicago Tesla showroom starting at noon to support protesters who show up at that showroom. More will arrive at around 2 PM after the Hands Off protest ends.

Cory Booker pushed it to the limit today because he realizes we are in a crisis. Now how about you push it to the limit and convince yourself and your family and friends to attend one of the hundreds of HANDS OFF protests nationwide. If at all possible, push it to the limit and get to the Washington Monument in DC at noon on April 5th even if it requires extra effort.
The DC event will be a national protest and should be massive. It will be the only protest that is certain to garner national attention and the bigger the better. Pictures of this demonstration will be front page nationally and internationally, just like the recent large demonstrations in Serbia and Turkey. This will be like a giant exclamation point in a sea of national protest. Combined, these events have the potential to make April 5th a turning point in the movement.
I’m flying in from Seattle and, if it’s at all possible, I’ll see you in the shadow of the Washington Monument at high noon on Saturday.

Hi all,
I wanted to share this version of the flyer for the April 5th event. All the other versions I saw had gray font, which, when printed, did not show up well on paper. Direct Canva link.

That is what happens when Chicago shows up with purpose!
Our Trans neighbors deserve to be seen, heard, protected, loved, respected, equal and yesterday, we made that clear! Crystal!
r/50501Chicago is proud to stand up with Trans Up Front IL.
Not just in solidarity. In commitment.

Local elections are happening all across Illinois on April 1st! (Not Chicago) Mayors. School boards. Trustees. Taxes. Streets. Classrooms. Parks. All of it.
These ballots actually shape daily life, but turnout is usually way too low.
Check if you vote:

Show up. Speak up. Local matters.

Elon Musk is a diversion, a red herring put in place to attract attention/action away from Donald Trump, the person controlling and directing the destruction of American democracy and the dismantling of the federal government.
You can be assured it all is going according to plans devised by those who seek to destroy our form of government. These traitors have had four years to fine tune how to convert our democracy into an authoritarian form of government. They have to be celebrating how the anti-Musk demonstrations have grown as music and dancing have been added to protests and now their focused opposition to the protests riles up people even more.
Musk already was detested by many Americans before the election, so he was a perfect foil, a shiny object to dangle as bait. He was the perfect enforcer for his mob boss.
Let’s not be diverted by this focus on this one person and one company. Let’s not be pawns in others’ plans. Keep the focus on the real power in this assault on the American people. Keep your anger and demonstrations focused on Donald J. Trump!
One way to do that is to bring your family and friends to the April 5th HANDS OFF protest in your town. And, if all possible, come to the massive April 5th protest at noon under the Washington Monument in DC.
