NEW YORK (AP) — Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer as the war in Iran creates jet fuel shortages that have sent prices soaring.

They fight with economic blackouts, non-violent non-compliance, and raw citizen power — all to restore a government that serves the people, not itself.
Now they're standing with us to demand impeachment.
Is it simply a jet fuel shortage, or perhaps more accurately, a passenger shortage? The number of Canadians interested in coming to the US has cratered right along with trump’s popularity. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Like we legit owe the airline industry an actual nationwide boycott.

Hate to say it but...anyone complaining about Trump without a theory of change at LEAST that specific is kind of telling you to be a sucker?
I mean, you know the feeling you get these days when someone says to just vote harder or ask Congress nicely? Yeah.
Anyway,

OK, so what to do about it? We’ve given a clear answer for over a year: boycott air travel and use the economic leverage to force impeachment. It may not be perfect but it’s something! Hell of a lot better than “Let Trump steal the shirts off our backs.”
Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer, the latest move in an industry struggling with high fuel costs and falling supplies.
Don‘t just sigh and passively accept this. Take power. Start boycotting. Tell Congress and the airlines you won’t be flying again till Trump is removed from office.

🚨Congress is baaackk!!
Flood the lines 📞 to demand Rep. Larson force a vote on his new articles of impeachment against Trump. The momentum for removing this deranged & deadly criminal regime is at an all time high. Not a second to waste. Heroism awaits @johnlarsonct.bsky.social. INVOKE RULE IX NOW!
Boyyyyyyyycott!

Mergers are being discussed between Paramount and Warner Brothers and now American Airlines and United?
We really did fire all the anti-trust lawyers at the DOJ, didn’t we?
United and American sucking up to the fascist in service of a merger, Delta deporting terrified kids on behalf of the fascist...what's next, the Southwest CEO doing an Elon salute?
Boycott this industry and bring the regime to its knees
When we say "boycott the airlines till Congress dumps Trump,"
we mean
boycott the shit out of these goons.
We've been boycotting Target since last year. Glad it's still happening.
Sounds like another good reason to boycott air travel till Congress removes Trump!

Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account.
I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either.
You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.
Dear fellow Americans,
We should boycott our own air travel, disrupt the economy, and demand an end to the regime, rather than telling other countries what to do. (That last thing is kind of a problem for us.)
Sincerely,
Ground the Planes
This shit sucks and we have the power to boycott air travel until Congress dumps Trump and ICE implodes
Yes, they‘re asleep - but the people are in a position to wake them up and force their hand. We need to shake up OUR status quo in order to disrupt theirs:

Black and while graphic that reads "IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN", where a silhouette of the president giving a thumbs up is showcased Below in an orange box, it reads: TELL CONGRESS TO DO THEIR JOB: 202-224-3121
Call Congress and tell them to do their job:
202-224-3121
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
We think it's extremely likely that Congress will have *some* role to play here, just as the South Korean legislature did in impeaching Yoon Suk Yeol.
But they're obviously reluctant to impeach on their own initiative. Mass noncooperation can help force their hand.
We support any and all peaceful protest against Trump, but we think a lot about this contrast, too.
It's why we've urged people to join a relatively low-effort, but potentially high-reward, form of noncooperation: boycotting US air travel until Congress dumps Trump.
Here’s an easy call script to your rep:
“Hi I’m calling to insist that Rep (so and so) along with Minority Leader Jeffries introduce articles of impeachment as a privileged resolution today.
The president is not of sound mind and needs to be removed from office immediately.”
This is the right direction to be thinking in. Skipping work, boycotting major transportation - shutting things down and disrupting the status quo.
