View MoreKEEP IT UP Demokratika! So 💜TRUMPS HATE, DEMOCRATS? In describing the Tesla Takedown, Winter sought to project the image of a grassroots campaign on a shoestring budget. “I made a quick database and sign-up form using online tools,” he wrote. “Then I posted it all to Bluesky. And that was it.”But the footprint of professional activists, whom Winter admitted having “reached out to,” was evident from the start. Each of the nationwide Tesla Takedown protests were scheduled and posted at The Action Network,a progressive for-profit company that provides online tools for left-wing organizing. It promises its customers the tools “to help you capture a moment, rally supporters to your cause, and sustain relationships with activists.” The pricing for these services—which include databases and sign-up forms like the ones Winter described—can run more than $4,000 per month. The Disruption Project, a Philadelphia-based far-left organizing group, was initially identified as a host or co-sponsor of all the Tesla Takedown’s protests at the Action Network’s event listings. The Project has since been scrubbed from the Action Network’s site, but it still shares an SMS “short code” with Tesla Takedown—a sign of ongoing linkage. The Disruption Project’s founder is Jeff Ordower, a longtime activist whose background runs the gamut of professional left-wing activism. He trained at the AFL-CIO’s Organizing Institute, led the Missouri chapter of ACORN, and worked for both SEIU and the Industrial Areas Foundation. He was an organizer for a group associated with the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in 2011, and helped organize the “Ferguson uprising” in 2014. His latest project, 350 Action, is linked to an international organization with ties to the Clinton Global Initiative, the Climate Action Network, Extinction Rebellion, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, and many other left-wing groups.

First they forced these cars on us to save the environment. Now they are burning them. Make it make sense.

The only one they're hurting when they burn those cars, besides the environment they supposedly care about, is the insurance company who has to pay the dealership back.
