Terms and Conditions

 

 

So... you have SCROTUS blathering that "Violence against Tesla dealerships will be labeled domestic terrorism and perpetrators will go through hell!"

About 350 demonstrators protested outside a Tesla electric vehicle dealership in Portland, Oregon, last week, while nine people were arrested during a raucous demonstration outside a New York City Tesla dealership earlier in March. Although there have also been media reports of vandalism on Tesla vehicles and showrooms that are under investigation. The group that said it was an organizer of the Tesla Takedown protests responded in a statement on social media platform Bluesky that it was peaceful and opposed violence.
 

 
 
"Peaceful protest on public property is not domestic terrorism. They are trying to intimidate us. We will not let them succeed," the group said, calling for people to join the protests.
 
And this morning, I was met with a NEW "Terms and Conditions" from Yahoo Mail, which includes specific language about things termed "Threats of Violence" and "Terrorism"; those dog whistles coming out of the White House, Trump and the GOP.   

I guess it's now time to start communicating in code.  
 
When I say "1A" I am talking about the 1st Amendment - Freedom of Speech...
 
Ya know... can we just go ONE week without witnessing the further fall of our democratic society?  
 
Resist.
Onward.

And the authoritarian crackdown on dissent begins . . . . over fucking Teslas?

That's the way a dictator takeover works. The fact that some corporations are "bending the fearful knee" like that makes it easier.
Just like corporations laying people off in anticipation of a recession only fuels the weakening economy.

It sounds particularly ironic coming from the president who pardoned the January 6 insurrectionists.
