THREAD:
🧵🧵Indivisible is definitely the ring leader of the Tesla Takedown domestic terrorism movement. They are the main organizers, they host the weekly calls to lay out their plans.
Today was one of them. The call was one hour and ten mins and had some very interesting moments.

JOHN LUCAS: Domestic Terrorism Alert: Take this seriously please. “In what I believe is an unprecedented action, the U. S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) has issued a nationwide ‘Threat Advisory’ to all of its personnel who are Tesla owners. Below is a series of screenshots that comprise the complete Threat Advisory. . . . I and other military veterans have never seen anything like this in the U.S. It is more like something that we would see in a foreign country such as Libya, Syria or Afghanistan, warning civilians either to leave or take extreme precautions because of terrorist threats.”
THIS DOES SEEM TO BE THE PLATFORM. Weirdly, it’s exactly what you’d inculcate if you were trying to program a society for self-destruction.
This seem to be the European ideology also. https://t.co/0B5p2QzcnI

More:
The documents reveal the Global Engagement Center (GEC), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the UK government, and media groups working together to conduct mass censorship under the guise of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation.”
AFL obtained the documents through ongoing litigation against the U.S. Department of State’s GEC.
The GEC, which was forced to shut down in December 2024, was originally created to “combat foreign disinformation abroad.”
However, through litigation, AFL exposed that the GEC promoted state-sponsored propaganda, using private media organizations to suppress American speech.
AFL’s litigation also revealed that USAID created an internal “Disinformation Primer,” explicitly praising private sector censorship strategies and recommending further censorship tactics.

I’M PRETTY SURE THAT WOODY ALLEN DIDN’T INTEND FOR SLEEPER TO BE A HOW-TO GUIDE FOR THE FUTURE: Did Joe Biden’s presidency really happen?
The only Biden update that has made waves is the autopen story. A project from the Heritage Foundation has been claiming that Biden and his aides routinely used a machine to add his signature on key documents. Trump then declared that some of Biden’s pardons are void because he hadn’t actually signed them. The media of course called the claim a mad right-wing theory: fact-checkers pointed out that almost all presidents, going back to Thomas Jefferson, have used a signing machine; that the Heritage Foundation was looking at digital files which replicated Biden’s signature as a matter of course; and that Trump himself had used an autopen. (“Only for very unimportant papers,” Trump replied.) When the media gets in such a flap about an outrageous Trump claim, it usually means it’s true.
But the veracity of the autopen story is secondary to its mythic power. It taps into the idea, now widely accepted as correct, that Biden was for years too demented to be president, that his aides effectively ran the country while he doddered about ice cream, and that the media helped cover up the fact that the Commander-in-Chief was not all there.
Now, 60 days into Trump 2.0, the strangest part about Biden is that, even though he’s still alive, he’s abruptly disappeared from the public eye in a way that no other president has. He is Schrödinger’s president – neither dead nor alive, but existing in some liminal space on the edges of our human understanding.
Did Biden’s administration really happen? Or is America so cognitively impaired and inattentive that it cannot remember what occurred just the other day? Don’t think about that for too long, because Donald Trump just did something else.
As the befuddled historian said of Richard Nixon in Sleeper, “Some of us have a theory that he might once have been a President of the United States. But that he did something horrendous, so that all records, everything was wiped out about him. There is nothing in history books. There are no pictures on stamps or money.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Late Night Laughs While Tesla Dealerships Burn. “Audiences at ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ ‘Daily Show’ giggle over domestic terrorism.”
JORDAN SCHACHTEL: ‘Tesla Takedown’ is a full-fledged domestic terrorism movement. Prosecutors on the state and federal levels must take action.
SpaceX, the premier space company in the world with no peer competitors, last opened up a tender offer valuing the company at $350 billion. X is now valued at $44 billion. xAI is accumulating new funds at a valuation of $75 billion. Lastly, Musk owns Neuralink and the Boring Company, which are multi-billion dollar endeavors.
So even if the “Tesla Takedown” movement succeeds beyond the wildest imaginations of its organizers and deals a significant blow to Tesla, Elon Musk will in no way be strapped for cash anytime soon. The man has effectively hacked capitalism, and he will never in his lifetime find himself with limited access to his own or outsiders’ capital.
The more imaginative “Tesla Takedown” organizers know they will never deprive Elon Musk of wealth. So, what’s the real goal here?
The goal of “Tesla Takedown” is to employ domestic terrorism through the use of violence, fear, and intimidation to achieve its political objectives. The movement aims to coerce the Trump Administration into conceding to its demands by amplifying the psychological impact of their actions beyond the immediate victims to create widespread disruption.
The Trump Administration and state governments are right to label this movement as much more than a protest movement. Hopefully, prosecutions on both the state and federal levels will ramp up dramatically in the weeks and months to come.
The woke mind virus has deposited the far left in a very dark place:
HOW MUCH LONGER IS CBS GOING TO CARRY MARGARET BRENNAN?
Rubio and Graham didn’t even have to put forth much of an effort to make Brennan come off like an idiot. Neither did Vance when he cranked out that “I Don’t Really Care, Margaret” nuclear bomb to her career. This keeps happening and yet there doesn’t seem to be any effort toward making a change at CBS. It’s hard not to wonder where the leftist journos are who can at least hold their own without snarling or saying something disqualifyingly stupid while trying to have a debate with a Republican politician.
If it’s absolutely necessary to have the debate at all rather than an interview. I’m going to venture a guess that even CBS’s rump audience would rather listen to what Rubio has to say than hear Brennan berating him. Though maybe I’m wrong, and CBS has lost those people already.
Which begs the question why Vance, Rubio, and Graham even let themselves be booked on those shows rather than simply do a long-form podcast interview with somebody who draws a lot bigger audience, like for example Megyn Kelly.
And the success of independent New Media types like Kelly, who found themselves flushed out of alphabet-soup media and found that it was the best thing that ever could have happened to them, would seem to be a bracing development for the suits at CBS. Do they now think Brennan is the best they can do?
Didn’t CBS employ Lara Logan, Sharyl Attkisson, and Catherine Herridge not so long ago? All of them were regarded by everyone as serious journalists. One could argue all three are doing quite well now that they’re independent New Media players.
How well do you think Margaret Brennan would do if she had to swim in that deep water?
You don’t have to answer that. We’re coming rapidly to the point where we’re going to find out soon enough. Because even at a place like CBS, there has to be a level of embarrassment beyond which they’re not willing to go.
They should have reached that point by now, for certain. But given the current direction, it’s only a matter of time before she crashes into that wall.
In the meantime, as Steve asked last month: What the Hell Is Wrong With CBS News?
To be fair, that’s been an ongoing question for over sixty years now.
