Trump is attacking our democracy and breaking the systems that keep us safe. Boycott U.S. air travel until Congress fires him.

-This dropoff in tourism is hurting the airlines.
-Air travel drives 5% of US GDP.
-A *domestic* flying boycott could now change the game. The economy couldn't handle it any more than it could handle Trump's wildest tariffs.
We'll keep saying this as long as it takes for folks to see the potential.

Our Canadian friends are already spending travel dollars in alternative countries rather than wintering here. And if racist ICE raids and hostile tariff wars with our allies isn’t enough to scare off foreign tourism in the United States, they want to do this. 👇🏼

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.
I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.
