ICYMI: Weekend Round Up

Do Not Comply in Advance - That Includes Hopelessness

Bernie Sanders Grabs a Crowd of 10,000 at Stop for His ‘Fight Oligarchy’ Tour

More than 10,000 people turned out for a rally with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), in Warren as part of his national “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. The audience overflowed from the main auditorium, into two overflow rooms, and out the door.

“We’re up against a phenomenon that we have never seen, and that is the Big Lie,” the Vermont senator said. “The Big Lie is not just stretching the truth; the Big Lie is not just fibbing. The Big Lie is creating a parallel universe, a set of ideas that have no basis in reality.”

Sanders has focused on areas where Republicans narrowly won seats in Congress, a strategy that other dems would be smart to replicate. Sanders started his speech warning that “we have an administration that is leading us to oligarchy, an administration that is leading us to an authoritarian form of society, an administration that is leading us towards kleptocracy.”

Trump Won't Stop Instigating With Greenland

Donald Trump just quadrupled down on his desire to invade Greenland. On Truth Social, he posted: “As I made clear during my Joint Address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland’s right to determine their own future. We need it really for international world security." Trump then promised to keep the territory safe and to invest billions of dollars “to create new jobs and MAKE YOU RICH — And, if you so choose, we welcome you to be a part of the Greatest Nation anywhere in the World, the United States of America!”

Thankfully, Greenland Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede shut down Trump’s statements last week, saying his people “don’t want to be Americans, or Danes either. We are Greenlanders. The Americans and their leader must understand that. We are not for sale and can’t just be taken. Our future is decided by us in Greenland.”

Sweden Boycotts American Goods Solidarity Against Trump

Maybe it has something to do with siding with our sworn enemies, breaking all of our alliances, and Trump's obsession with manifest destiny-ing Canada and Greenland. Swedes have led widespread calls for a boycott of American products in response to the U.S.‘s decision to halt its support for Ukraine. The boycott targets a range of American brands, including Tesla, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Nike, and Levi’s, along with services like Netflix, Google, and Airbnb.

“When I can’t vote in the U.S. elections or demonstrate on the streets in the United States, I feel that I have to do something,” one organizer said. However, despite the difficulty of purging American goods and culture, the movement continues to grow, with members sharing alternatives and rallying behind the cause.

It's a Bad Time to Be a Tesla Owner

It's never been a good time, but it's especially bad now. Cybertrucks filled with garbage. Graffiti on a Tesla dealership sign. Molotov cocktails thrown in another dealership's lot. Tesla charging stations set on fire. Across the country and Europe Tesla facilities and vehicles are being hit with protests and defacement - because of Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration.

Might have something to do with Musk's cutting thousands of government workers since buying America for $250 million dollars. Most recently, on March 8th, hundreds of protesters gathered in New York City at a Tesla showroom in Manhattan as part of the nationwide "Tesla Takedown" protests.

BONUS: Trump Wishes We'd Stop Asking About Egg Prices

Donald Trump promised cheaper groceries when he took office, but two months in, he hasn't and he's sick of us reminding him. In fact, he shared an "article" on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers” that minimizes concerns about the increasing cost of eggs - the thing he promised to stop.
