Hi,
Elon Musk is taking a hatchet to the federal government, attacking vital
departments and programs like Social Security, Medicare, and the Veterans
Administration.
In response, Americans across the country are taking the streets to
protest Musk’s actions outside of Tesla showrooms.
Citing a handful of cases of vandalism, the Trump administration is
labeling all Tesla protesters as domestic terrorists, implicitly
threatening them with severe punishments for exercising their First
Amendment rights.^1

Trump told one reporter that Tesla protesters are “going to go through
hell.”
A White House spokesperson doubled down, saying that “Leftist activists
are nothing short of domestic terror[ists].”
Trump is already illegally detaining and deporting pro-Palestinian student
activists, and it’s clear he is ready to extend these authoritarian
actions to anyone who questions his agenda.
We must defend our right to protest.

arrest and imprison activists.
Thanks for taking action,
Joey and the team at Demand Progress
