A sign sitting in a broken up pile of snowcrete that says, “CBP/ICE Sucks.”

An intrepid member of the Arlington #TeslaTakedown team shoveling the sidewalk to clear it for us and the community.

Another intrepid member of the #TeslaTakedown crew shoveling snowcrete in front of the Tesla showroom, which is visible in the background.

The prior Tuesday, sick of Tesla’s inaction, I brought my own shovel and teamed up with a couple of folks to start work on the sidewalk.

That sidewalk gets heavy use from pedestrians and joggers. It not being clear was a safety issue. #TalesofTeslaTakedown (Arlington, VA - February 10, 2026)

Prior to the start of the #TeslaTakedown, we finished shoveling the sidewalk in front of the Tesla showroom. Tesla hadn’t done anything about it in over two weeks, so we took care of it.

Go, @susanfdouglas.bsky.social! Go, @beezus67.bsky.social!

A Valentine card with a sleeping kitten that says, “Dream Big Valentine.” Next to it are a bunch of candy hearts that say things like, “Abolish ICE,” “By the people,” “For the People,” and “Resist 2026!”

Aaaaand, @polly-o.bsky.social was giving out real candy hearts and Valentines too!

Check it out. #TalesofTeslaTakedown (Arlington, VA - February 14, 2026)

A heart-shaped sign that says, “Love Democracy?”

A protester dressed up as Donald Trump, with a latex Trump mask, an ill-fitting suit, and an extra long red tie. He wears an MVP gold medal and holds a trophy in his hand, while getting an IV drip of bleach.

A sign that says, “Roses Are Red, Love Is Nice, Keep Families Together, Abolish ICE.”

A sign with a dark purple candy heart that says, “Abolish ICE.”

More signs and a cameo by Trump himself! He must have gotten lost on the way to the golf course. #TalesofTeslaTakedown (Arlington, VA - February 14, 2026)

What looks to be a painting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Above it is a sign that says, “Hold ICE Accountable.”

A big heart that says, “Fuck ICE” on bright pink posterboard.

A sign with a bunch of illustrated candy hearts that say things like, “Abolish ICE!” and “Bondi Sucks!”

That Renee Good and Alex Pretti sign. Damn. #TalesofTeslaTakedown (Arlington, VA - February 14, 2026)

**Honking intensifies**

#TalesofTeslaTakedown (Arlington, VA - February 14, 2026)

Honk if you love immigrants?

Oh yeah, we got honks. #TalesofTeslaTakedown (Arlington, VA - February 14, 2026)

Today, in Arlington, VA, we celebrated both Valentine’s Day and the one-year anniversary of #TeslaTakedown.

“Honk if you love immigrants!”

Go, Axolotl, go! #TalesofTeslaTakedown
