Howdy everyone,
We're not gonna post our way out of this. So I started hippievan. @hippievan
hippievan organizes IRL town hall meetings where Democratic congressional representatives are summoned by their constituents to answer questions and are held accountable.

Tomorrow at 11am local time they'll be nationwide (worldwide?) protests at Tesla dealerships. Please get your activist on and join your fellow citizens to demonstrate against Elon. Watch this great video by Led By Donkeys to see what a fuckwad Elon is. Here's two stories on Democracy Now! that connect
