Trumpsters are so desperate to get anyone they pay... sorry, "compensate" people to come.

EDIT: the link in the ad sends you to a page saying "Gotchu! That was a fake ad! We don't need to pay people to support Trump!"

So there's a "Tesla Take Back" movement (teslatakeback.com) and honestly it's worth having a look at it just to know what we're up against.

#protest #rally #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne 🇺🇸

Today in Labor History April 23, 1968: Students took over the administration buildings at Columbia University, in New York, and shut down the university. They were protesting the Vietnam war. Today, students have are being arrested and deported for occupying parts of campus, in protest of the Israeli war on Gaza, and in support of a free Palestine. Last year, they suspended the daughter of Congressional representative Ilhan Omar, who became homeless, as a result. At the time, the ADL and rightwing Trump supporters Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton were calling for the National Guard to be deployed to college campuses. And rightwing Zionist union leader, Randi Weingarten (of the American Federation of Teachers), who shook hands with admirers of the Ukrainian fascist and antisemite Stepan Bandera in Ukraine in 2022, denounced the Columbia protesters as “antisemites.” And recently, Columbia capitulated to most of Trump’s fascistic demands, in hopes of winning back billions of dollars in funding he had withheld from the university. But Trump just kept demanding more, sending the clear message to other universities that it didn’t matter how much they bent over backwards for him, he’d still fuck with them. Consequently, Harvard and over 200 other universities have pledged to resist Trump.

Zionist cry-bully alert!

As Fox News seethes over pro-Palestine slogans at a California music festival, founders of the Israeli rave attacked on Oct 7 claim to be “deeply hurt” by the display. Yet one of the founders has openly bragged of serving as a top Israeli military intelligence asset involved in the Gaza genocide.

MobilizeMay Day Strong: We are the Many · May Day StrongAcross the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. **We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes**—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness. Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices. **May Day 2025 we are standing united.** We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status. They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and **we will not stand down**. This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. **Their time is up.** STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

Been discussing/arguing with a relative re: the safety of going to a #Protest. Here’s my final reply -

You don’t hear about all the people supporting the protestors. The people in mini vans with kids in the backseat, holding signs in solidarity. The people who drive by and honk in support (it’s crazy loud!) The kids on bikes who don’t have horns but downloaded an app that sounds like one. The people with dogs wearing signs and toddlers with signs bigger than they are.
