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.

It’s the US — any flight in or out or through the US is dangerous. Yet the attitude remains “it won’t happen to me.”

It’s not just Logan. It’s US air travel in general. Boycott.
This is a really sick story.
From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through.

Kidnapped at Logan Airport. Because our airports are sites of fascist terror.
We believe it would take just weeks for a US air travel boycott, tied to impeachment demands, to bring this regime to its knees.

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal.

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?

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.
