After #Tory #MSP Jackson #Carlaw raises sectarian #vandalism in one of his local #Catholic #schools, the #FirstMinister of #Scotland, John #Swinney, offers to visit the school with him. Great to see in this case that #sectarianism isn't being swept under the carpet, and politicians of different parties uniting against it

"Elon Musk has said that “Canada is not a real country,” just one of his social media jabs at the #US neighbor.
But people in #Canada have done real damage to the vehicles and dealerships belonging to his electric car company, #Tesla"

Teslas hit with "Kraft cheese singles" was not on my #teslatakedown bingo card. Makes sense, though, because they stick to absolutely everything, are easy to cut into the shape of a swastika, and will pass as "food" if you are stopped by police.

Today in Labor History March 11, 1811: Luddites attacked looms near Nottingham, England, because automation was threatening their jobs. At the time, workers were suffering from high unemployment, declining wages, an “endless” war with France and food scarcity. On March 11, they smashed machines in Nottingham and demonstrated for job security and higher wages. The protests and property destruction spread across a 70-mile area of England, reaching Manchester. The government sent troops to protect the factories and made machine-breaking punishable by death.
their conquering methods coined the term #vandalism …
Bizzare #vandalism - someone has taken the effort to climb a light column on #pedestrian refuge in middle of the village and obscure keep left #sign with grey paint (they have also done the same to smaller sign on the #bollard, can't be seen in photo due to darkness). Seems more sociopathic than normal #graffiti (maybe someone pissed off the refuge is there in first place, it discourages speeding through the village, or angry that the local Speedwatch have put up a camera nearby?) #Suffolk

‘I’m not Elon Musk’: Winnipeg man defends Cybertruck purchase despite backlash
"...A Winnipeg man says owning a Tesla Cybertruck has led to vandalism and death threats, as trade war tensions increase between Canada and the U.S...

Here's the full sticker that someone managed to stick on his car. #tesla #swasticar #vandalism
Hmm, apparently it's not a great time to own a brand new Tesla vehicle. Somebody carrying a guitar apparently kicked out the mirrors of a brand new Model Y. #tesla #vandalism #crime
Today in Labor History February 19, 1990: After a 10-month strike, rank-and-file miners at the Pittston Coal Co. ratified a new contract. Ninety-eight miners and a minister occupied a Pittston Coal plant in Carbo, Virginia, inaugurating the year-long strike. While a one-month Soviet coal strike dominated the U.S. media, the year-long Pittston strike received almost no media coverage in the U.S. The wildcat walkouts involved 40,000 miners in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Over 2,000 people occupied Camp Solidarity. Miners and their families engaged in Civil Disobedience, pickets, work stoppages and sometimes sabotage, vandalism and violence. Over 4,000 were arrested.
tbh the Cybertruck looks way cooler like this. It perfectly fits into a dystopian Robocop future.
