Locals Hit Elon Musk Tesla Car Dealers Again As DOGE Axes More Fed Jobs

From dcmediagroup.us:
https://dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/22/locals-hit-elon-musk-tesla-car-dealers-again-as-doge-axes-more-fed-jobs/

Arlington VA—Local grassroots organizers stepped up actions on Saturday for the second weekend outside Elon Musk’s Tesla electric vehicle dealerships in hopes of spurring a boycott against the company. At least four dealerships were targeted in the region as fury rose against the mega-billionaire and world’s richest man. The protests were part of a national effort by many grassroots groups.

Local dealerships of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DC-MD-VA) at Georgetown, Washington DC; Rockville, Maryland; Tysons Corner and Arlington, Virginia were among those sites of the weekend protests. The protesters stood on sidewalks outside the dealerships holding signs and encouraging passing motorists to boycott the electric vehicle car company. Many motorists passed blowing their horns in support of the protesters.

The community is responding to Elon Musk’s corporate raider styled takeovers and shutdowns of government agencies and firings of tens of thousands of Federal employees. Many joining the protests in this region are Federal workers or former government workers worried about the future of government operations. Some are citizens concerned with their government and services that will be delayed or eliminated altogether.

At stake are the careers and futures of millions of Federal workers, the regional economy of the DC-MD-VA region, and the economies of other regions employing Federal workers. But also at stake and more importantly, is whether the function of Federal government agencies will remain sustainable or whether they will be subsumed and eliminated by the Trump-Musk regime. The Trump-Musk regime has not published, at least publicly, any plan of how or with what they will replace the many services Federal employees provide to the country.

So the protests are aimed at making Musk feel a bit of the economic pain he is causing others. Most of his wealth is tied up in his Tesla EV car company. His net wealth was $403 billion at the end of 2024, making him the wealthiest person who ever lived, but his wealth began slipping after the inauguration and his ascendancy to silent partner in the Oval office.

The price of his Tesla stock was $422.60 per share one month ago but had crashed by $80.20 to $337.80 or by 19.3% as of Friday, February 21.

Elon Musk has also paid no taxes in the many years the company has been in business.

Gaza Resistance Releases Six Zionist Captives in Seventh Exchange

The Palestinian Resistance was to hand over Saturday six Zionist captives to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), marking the seventh batch in the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.

On Friday, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades, identified the captives set to be released as Eliya Cohen, Omar Shem Tov, Omer Wenkert, Tal Shoham, Avera Mengistu, and Hisham al-Sayed.

The first handover took place in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, where the Resistance raised a banner at the exchange site reading, “We Are The Flood… We Are The Extreme Might.”

During the exchange in Rafah, hundreds of fighters from the al-Qassam Brigades, deployed throughout the area where the captives were released.

The handover of Tal Shoham and Mengistu took place today for the first time in the city of Rafah, just “a stone’s throw” away from the Israeli military’s presence.

Reports state that the Resistance placed six pieces of Zionist weapons on the platform, which were seized by the al-Qassam Brigades during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The occupation military confirmed that Shoham and Mengistu had reached the entity after being escorted out of the Gaza Strip by special Zionist forces.

As for the second handover, it took place in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, where the Resistance raised another banner reading: “The Land Distinguishes Its People From The Dual Nationality Foreigners.”

The handover saw the Resistance releasing Shem Tov, Cohen, and Wenkert. Later, the Zionist military said the ICRC received captive Hisham al-Sayed in Gaza City.

In exchange for the release of the Zionist captives, the Zionist authorities will release 50 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, 60 prisoners serving long-term sentences, and 47 prisoners who were freed as part of the “Wafa al-Ahrar” exchange deal but were re-arrested by the occupation forces.

Additionally, 445 detainees from the Gaza Strip, who were abducted after October 7, 2023, will also be released today, according to the Prisoners’ Information Office.

Our correspondent said that in Ofer prison, Palestinian prisoners and detainees who are to be released are being gathered, most of whom will be transferred to the Gaza Strip.

She added that Zionist military reinforcements have been deployed inside and outside the prison.

Last night, the occupation forces raided the homes of a number of detainees in the West Bank who are to be released today.

Hamas handed over body of Zionist captive Shiri Bibas after mix-up

In a related context, Zionist media reported Saturday that Hamas handed over the body of detainee Shiri Bibas, after mistakenly delivering an unidentified body due to confusion between the corpses.

Kibbutz Nir Oz, where Bibas was captured on October 7, 2023, confirmed Saturday her death following an identification process at the forensic institute.

The ICRC had announced receiving the remains from Hamas and transferring them to Zionist authorities, according to the ‘Israeli’ Broadcasting Corporation (KAN).

The remains were transferred to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute where they were examined, KAN said.

The Zionist news site Walla reported that “‘Israeli’ assessments suggest that Hamas did not intentionally withhold Bibas’ body, but mistakenly delivered another body.”

The Zionist military said on Friday that one of the bodies received during the Thursday exchange did not belong to detainee Shiri Bibas.

Later, Hamas confirmed that it had received the occupation’s claims through mediators, adding that it will examine these claims thoroughly and will announce the results clearly.

The Palestinian group noted the possibility of an “error” or “confusion” between the bodies, which may have resulted from the occupation military’s targeting and bombing of the location where the Bibas family was with other Palestinians.

Hamas says guarantee for completing upcoming exchanges is regime’s commitment

Additionally, Hamas stated Saturday that the Palestinian Resistance’s accomplishment of exchanging six captives today reaffirms its commitment to the agreement, while the occupation continues to delay its implementation.

The group highlighted that “the handover, in this national scene, reflects the unity of our people and factions, while the occupation is experiencing fragmentation and mutual accusations.”

It also emphasized its readiness to move to the second phase of the agreement and its preparedness to complete the comprehensive exchange process, ensuring a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, warning against any Zionist attempts to renege on the agreement.

On his part, Hamas spokesperson Abdul Latif al-Qanoua stressed that the Resistance will continue to complete the exchange operations and compel the occupation to implement the remaining terms of the agreement, clarifying that the guarantee for completing the upcoming exchange operations is the regime’s commitment to the remaining provisions of the agreement and the implementation of the humanitarian protocol.

He mentioned that 33 days have passed in the first phase without the occupation completing all its terms, pointing out that the situation in Gaza is “catastrophic”, which requires mediators to pressure the regime to implement the humanitarian protocol and provide residents with the necessary supplies for shelter and relief.

Al-Qanoua reiterated that Hamas is ready to complete a broad and comprehensive exchange process, all in one batch, based on a permanent cessation of the war, the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, and the reconstruction of the Palestinian enclave.

Meanwhile, Hazem Qassem, another Hamas spokesperson, stressed that the reconstruction of Gaza must be carried out through national consensus, affirming that the Resistance will not allow any external force to interfere in this matter.

Refugees’ Return to Northern Gaza Sets Blueprint for Return to ’48 Territories

Hamas’ success in reversing the ethnic cleansing of the northern Gaza Strip has established a precedent for conditioning future ceasefires on the Right of Return.

“Israel’s” 14-month assault on the Gaza Strip has arguably been the lowest point in its 76-year existence. In the mind of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his cabinet of crazed fascists, the October 7th attacks of 2023 provided a golden opportunity, perhaps even the last, to permanently expel the territory’s 2.4 million inhabitants and pave the way for resumed illegal settlement.

Throughout the entirety of 2024, the region was set ablaze on the altar of Netanyahu’s personal political survival. To escape accountability for his failure to avert October 7, the Prime Minister intentionally sabotaged all efforts at diplomacy, with the connivance of the Biden administration. This saw the war regionalize as it spilled over to the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. For the political interests of a single man, Washington willingly doused what remained of its fictional “rules-based global order” and advocacy of human rights and lit the match. In allowing this, it permitted its regional attack dog to inflict unprecedented, perhaps irreversible financial and social injury to itself.

Despite continuous emphasis being placed on a “two-state solution,” the continuing displacement of Palestinians from the Nakba and the creation of “Israel” in 1947-1949 remains the ultimate root of the conflict.

Throughout the course of that period, Zionist paramilitaries, gangs, and terrorist groups who would later form the basis of the regime’s armed forces systematically depopulated around 500 towns and villages within pre-1948 Mandate Palestine. This was primarily accomplished through massacres in selected townships, such as Deir Yassin, al-Lidd, and Tantura, and poisoning of wells and vital water sources. The resulting exodus of 700,000 led to the foundation of refugee camps in neighboring Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and most crucially the West Bank and Gaza Strip where their descendants comprise most of the population.

Israeli claims that refugees left “voluntarily” due to the state of war at the time have rung hollow ever since, as it has never recognized nor implemented their right to return. The international community enshrined that right in UN Resolution 3236 in 1974 and reaffirmed it in the General Assembly every year since.

It is in this context that “Israel’s” campaign to ethnically cleanse the northern Gaza Strip, known as “the Generals’ Plan,” must be viewed. As we have seen through the devastation of Gaza City, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and others, the intent was to make the region impossible to return to.

Not only have the terms of the ceasefire of January 19 erased the occupation’s gains over the last year, they have also introduced the kind of precedent that could end the entire Zionist project much faster than anyone has recently anticipated.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, the original sites of most Palestinian towns destroyed in the original Nakba are currently empty of inhabitants. In the course of the four decades following its establishment, the Knesset introduced the “Absentee Property Law 1950,” giving itself the power to seize the property of owners no longer resident due to displacement. This has led to almost all privately-owned Palestinian land being counted as “state land.” The majority of original sites within the 1948 boundaries were progressively turned over to agriculture, closed military zones, and nature reserves. Many such areas were planted with trees to prevent refugees from returning.

Today, the highest densities of these uninhabited townsites are concentrated in the eastern Upper and Lower Galilee region and the south-west coastal plain between Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. It is no coincidence that these areas are closest to the largest refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza.

With “Israel” forced to concede the return of refugees to the North, the question may well arise, if Gazans can be allowed to return to homes which no longer exist in the northern Strip, why should returning to the sites of their own, or their elders’ original displacement be an impossibility? Living in tents amidst the rubble of Gaza is surely not qualitatively different from living amidst the ruins of their ancestral hometowns within “Israel”, as far as humanitarian difficulty is concerned.

Here perhaps, the armed Palestinian Resistance may have discovered the germ of a new strategy to force the Right of Return on a regime that would never accept it voluntarily, anymore that it has voluntarily accepted the return to northern Gaza. As the escalations across the West Bank increase and Netanyahu continues to flout the ceasefire with Hezbollah in South Lebanon, forcing the Right of Return as an objective for future ceasefire negotiations might at least temporarily force Tel Aviv to tread more cautiously. At most, it would amount to the start of the long-awaited roll-back of ethnic cleansing that started three quarters of a century ago.

I listened to a very informative YouTube video today (and looked up some stuff). Oh boy...! A LOT to unpack. We all have some decisions to make soon. Life or death stuff (unless the courts or congress does the right thing). After what I've heard and read today, I am convinced that #Trump is a #Putin asset, as is #TulsiGabbard and #ErikPrince. And their goal is to suppress the #Resistance. And it seems that #BillClinton, #BarackObama and #JoeBiden did NOTHING to prevent what Trump is attempting to do, even though they could have... (And don't get me started as to why they didn't codify #RoeVsWade or #EqualRights or a number of other things when they had the chance...)

A man who puts himself above the law is not, properly, a king. A king is supposed to submit to certain laws (of God or nature). This is why we speak of crowns as “heavy.” The current US president is not trying to be a king because he is not appealing to any notion of higher law. He is appealing to his own sense of law, thus making himself to be a god. We #Christians have a term for this: idolatry. And the proper response to this is the one taken by Daniel and his friends in faithful #resistance

Hundreds protest Trump and Musk in Tampa's 50501 event

On the 17th of February, the "50501" protests rocked the US from coast to coast. Up to 5,000 may have participated in DC, maybe 1,000 in Tampa, and hundreds more in a boisterous protest on Kenndedy Street in front of Tampa City Hall.

Tampa protesters adopted a new tactic: closing up and holding the banner across the street when traffic was stopped for a red light, then using the walk sign countdown to clear the street before the light turned green. This allowed the entire flow of afternoon rush hour traffic to see the protest instead of just the same dozen or so. A great many drivers cheered and honked in solidarity, even here in Florida.

A few stray Trumpers were chased away, the later ones warned "Nazis aren't safe here!" Throughout the protest, Trump and Elon Musk were explicitly called not just Fascists but Nazis. This is what they are and Naziism must be stopped NOW.
