Under GDPR, anyone in the EU has the right to request surveillance footage of themselves. #Tesla takes records videos but seems to kind of throw their customers under the bus in terms of compliance with GDPR.

So how do we make this as big a problem as possible for Tesla and EU Tesla owners?

Trump is creating multiple crises and making existing ones worse. I think that we, as anarchists, need to focus on how to respond to collapse and uprisings. The empire is burning itself down. We no longer need to think about how to burn down the empire, we only need to figure out how to respond to its collapse. #USpol

One of the historical problems with monarchy is that after a bunch of generations the nobility would become so inbred that it was no longer capable of self-preservation and it would take the whole country down with it. Avoiding that was supposed to be the big selling point of democracy. But here we are, with the oligarchy so intellectually inbred that they can't even keep themselves from blowing up their own life support machine. The USA was built to keep the oligarchy safe. The whole political system is built around abstracting away how power works so that oligarchs could control it to extract wealth in really obscure ways (like banks, rent, and debt) that just seem like the natural parts of the system. These oligarchs have become so intellectually inbred that they're willing to blow up all that abstraction because they think they will be better off ruling with sheer violence. Like... the whole thing was built so these goobers can rule from cocktail parties instead of fortresses and they completely lost the script. I will never not be amazed by the drive of these elite lemmings to follow their greed off cliffs when they could simply not. Perhaps it's the same drive that leads cult leaders to apocalyptic ends.

#50501movement folks should watch this to understand what makes a movement work:

IMHO, if 50501 let's itself get consumed by the DNC and non-profit organizer Industry, it will do absolutely nothing. We saw the same thing happen with the Neighbourhood Action Council in Seattle. Liberals put together something that was actually really interesting, it saw massive interest, thousands of people showed up, and then it ended up doing nothing. Recuperation into the system will ultimately kill any movement that initially threatens the system. Protests can be safely ignored, unless they actually impact someone's wallet. The resistance that worked the first time targeted capital, and that's what works every time. Demands need to also be specific and achievable if you're making demands. Narrowing the scope, to removing Trump and arresting Musk, may actually exploit a weakness in the current coalition. Musk owns Trump via his coup, which pushes out Vance. Vance is Thiel's puppet. So Musk has outmanoeuvred Thiel to assert power. But Vance is in a position to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump, on the basis that Trump is too senile to notice the coup. This would put Thiel in power via Vance. But Vance can't really pull that without popular support. A lot of people don't realize that Thiel hates Musk, so there's some power dynamics going on here. So it may be possible to sew chaos among our enemies by giving them the opportunity to begin eating each other. Since they *want to do it anyway* it should take a lot of pressure to break the alliance. Just some strategic thoughts, for what they're worth.

Hey Americans! Now that the IRS is completely backdoored and will be occupied for the next absolutely forever unfucking itself, now might be a good time to think about a #TaxStrike. Like, maybe the #50501movement should organize some kind of tax strike until the 25th amendment is invoked. Protests are nice and all, but you have to hit them where the money is or they can ignore you. Maybe y'all could use a nice hashtag like #TaxStrikeTo25 or something like that. ;) #uspol

Hey anarchists and general leftists organizing in #RuralAmerica and deep red territory! I know you exist, but a lot of folks don't. This might be a good time to share your experience so others doing similar things can learn from them. What strategies have you used? What lessons have you learned? What successes can you talk about? How do you talk about your ideas and frame your conversations? What's your best story? What organizations exist to make that type of organizing easier? #USPol
