#TeslaTakedown #Austin 6/20/26 A small but stubborn group continues weekly, going on 16 mos. now. Last week the manager called the cops, who reminded him, again, our protests are legal. Tesla staff have been photo-ing us lately, kinda creepy tbh. @teslatakedownaus.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

You can tell how much trump values Iranian civilian lives and their cries for democratic government because of his pattern of not actually coming to their aid when he said he would and then his insistence on killing them for no reason

Hey NAVY, including sailors involved and leadership. There are no statutes of limitations on war crimes. Nuremburg also demonstrated that "following orders" is not considered a valid defense. This is going to be messy, particularly for some military families.
