   We’ve had growing crowds every week at the MSP #TeslaTakedown in Golden Valley, MN: 100-some, then 200-some, then ~350–380…. This weekend is supposed to be a really big one worldwide — every dealership, big crowds, really get some attention — but tomorrow’s weather forecast in MN looks kind of dismal.

   I worry…but then I know we’re not so easily deterred. Let’s show them how it gets done here in Minnesota.

   There are 4 Minnesota locations to protest, and many more worldwide. Find them here, and please show up if you can! https://www.teslatakedown.com

     Right now, I think the best thing we can all do is •show up•: early, often, loudly, relentlessly. There is no path to ending this fascist coup — none — that does not flow directly through people just getting out there again and again and again.

     This is a chance to show up. Take it if you can. Get in the habit. Stretch those muscles.

     Fascism’s march can feel inevitable. That’s part of the psychological warfare they’re waging.

     It’s easy to underestimate the extent to which fascism •requires permission•. And it’s easy to understimate the extent to which staying home and staying silently anxious •constitutes permission•.

     Don’t give your permission. Get out there, be loud, show up — whenever you can.

     @musicman @rik
     Mass protests pretty much everywhere. Your username says MPLS; there’s one at the state capitol at noon Saturday!
