Last Anticipated Tesla Protest

Today was the last anticipated protest at the Tesla dealership. Tesla salience has been dropping for awhile. I wanted to wait until Musk and his associates were forced off the Tesla Board, but we don't know when that will be. Protesters will be moving off to other projects, like banner drops. Since Palestinian salience is on the upswing, protesters will likely go there. 

My favorite moment of today's Tesla protest was when the passenger in a passing Cybertruck rolled down her window, put together her hands, and made a little heart for us. 

The "No Ice" protest at Howe and Arden continues, and seems to be getting bigger. Lots of fun over there! 

I was a bit of a badass today. We've noticed the same dark-tinted-window security vehicle repeatedly passing by us for the last several weekends. This afternoon, as the security official in his vehicle waited for the light to change, I went into the street and took photos of it, then opened the driver's side door. "Don't open the door," the security official said. "Why not?" I challenged. The security official began reaching over to retrieve his weapon. I closed the door. Later, a brief discussion was held between the security official and our people where it was promised that I wouldn't do that again. Which is good. Security officials should be in contact with the people they routinely surveil. 

Here's some video from today's Howe and Arden protest.
