Arlington, VA—The Arlington Tesla Takedown line brought a little of everything for this year’s ‘resistmas’ wish-list.

Arlington, VA—Activists were back at it again outside the Tesla showroom in Arlington with a new tactic—a night time light projection show. They turned the darkness around the stumbling Tesla compound into a light show by showing Elon Musk and his stockholders that their vote to pay him a trillion […]
Georgetown, Washington DC—A Saturday morning drive along M Street in Georgetown would find one passing the Tesla Takedown dancing crew. For the 43rd consecutive week, they’ve been trolling Elon Musk’s Tesla electric vehicle company by wearing costumes and dancing. The DJ spins well-known disco hits from the bygone disco era […]
Arlington, VA—On Saturday, the Tesla Takedown crew of Arlington met for their 41st Saturday in a row outside the Tesla showroom on South Glebe Road. Yes, they’ve been meeting since February 14, and they’ve managed an improbable continuous marathon of weekly protests outside CEO Elon Musk’s Tesla showroom ever since […]
Arlington, VA—Many would have given up by now at standing up to this regime and its chaos clout chasers parroting its narratives and supporting its take down of our democracy and our institutions. This regime is building an oligarchy beholden to the wealthy class—indeed many institutions already have quit […]
As I’ve posted previously, grassroots groups began organizing protests at a nearby Tesla dealership on Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays, starting in February.

Arlington, VA—-On World Pride Day the Tesla Takedown boycott line spun resistance twirling rainbow parasols, wearing rainbow lei necklaces, and dancing to a resistance line-up of music over two synchronized speakers.

Arlington, Va—As the weekly Saturday boycott line began winding down, Lawrence MacDonald read a list of issues over a bullhorn to about 50 who were compelled to return to week 17 of the Arlington Tesla Takedown. “Medicaid! he shouted, “Hands Off!” the group responded. “Social Security!” “Hands off!” they repeated.

Arlington, VA—Mothers everywhere will be beaming with pride as their grown children return home bringing flowers for Mother’s Day weekend. Though flowers are a nice gesture, doing something with Mom like cooking dinner or taking her out is another way to say ‘I love you’ on Mother’s Day. But going […]
Arlington, VA—Word was passed among the Tesla boycotters earlier this week not to tread on the Arlington Tesla’s dirt surface because the company was laying new mulch. So on week 14 of the boycott actions the line stayed off the new mulch out of respect for the business operation. As […]
Arlington, VA—Rain, wind, mud, drenched clothes, and soggy shoes at the Arlington, Tesla Takedown boycott line did little to prevent the die-hards from completing their weekly Tesla Takedown community service. On week 13 they danced even better in the rain than they did before skies opened up on them. Sign […]
