#TeslaTakedown and #Avelno are really case studies in national and local protests against corporations to pushback on federal policies and law enforcement.
Oh. Hell. Yeah!
I still have some billboards contracted (one until 22 March, one for a couple more weeks). Any suggestions for new text/themes on them??

You dirty nose, peck, and pig go F yourself and all Democrats fuck you
Mr Miller; Are you not aware that we are a capitalist society which I see that you earn a living from ? As such you’re a disappointment to our great state of NH. The upside of your stupidity is it’s a great advertisement for the airline you rally against. The downside of your stupidity is the same airline is leaving NH in the spring of 2026. So whose side are you on? Certainly not your constituents and for sure your against Commerce for NH. You do not understand the rule of law. We are a country of laws. I want all illegal aliens deported immediately if not sooner. Illegal aliens drain all the resources meant for our citizens. Illegal aliens bring absolutely nothing to our country all they do is take. Most importantly illegal aliens do not ASSIMILATE . They do not pledge allegiance to our country. Deport every illegal alien immediately if not sooner. It’s pretty sad that a hard working taxpaying citizen has to educate you on our country’s laws. Summing it up you should not be in government as you don’t understand basic law.
Seth, Kudos to you using money so lavishly to promote your own agenda in an attempt to vilify a big tax payer in the fine state of Connecticut. I mean, you rather advocate for the “rights” of illegal aliens instead of protecting the rights of the law abiding citizens of this country. It’s a really interesting spin on serving your “constituents” So you’re aware illegal aliens cannot actually vote legally. And, what I’d really like you to think about is all the meals the money you spent on that billboard could have provided the homeless community of New Haven. But hey, who cares about them? Nice job!
A few of the messages I've received this week, angry about the billboards.
I'm particularly touched by the concerns I've spent a few thousand dollars on billboards rather than feeding the poor, against the backdrop of the tens of billions being spent to destroy families.
Good times.

Not surprisingly, Avelo continues to fight in court, dragging out their eventual loss. But I've got a new set of billboards up in New Haven, supported by Indivisible CT and many of you (via www.avelno.com).
The messaging definitely hit a nerve. The hate mail is, uhh, interesting.

Final page of a court order, noting that Avelo's requests to shut down my avelNO campaign are denied.
Some really good news this evening out of Nevada: Avelo's requests for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order against the #avelNO! campaign were denied!! 🥳
I've always believed my efforts were protected political speech. This is another ruling suggesting I was right.

Quick update on my ongoing lawsuit with Avelo re the #AvelNO! campaign and copyright. At one point they tried an anti-SLAPP counterclaim against me. I amended my complaint to remove the claim in question, and that counterclaim was dismissed. They appealed and lost. Very good news for me.

Avelo says its west coast shutdown isn't because of the deportation contracts and associated protest (though also insists my #avelNO protest is worthy of a preliminary injunction).
What can we tell from the data available??

🗽 Great job #AltCitizen #AvelNO #IceAirlines protesters!

Love to see it #avelNo
Die Strategie sich auf Abschiebeflüge zu spezialisieren scheint für die US Airline #AvelNo nicht aufzugehen.
Avelo is bailing on the west coast for passenger traffic. Alas, the Mesa, AZ hub remains.
Will be very interesting to see if they move those aircraft into deportation traffic with the new ICE budget or try to support more pax on the east coast.

Quick update on the #avelNO lawsuit situation:
Avelo is fighting back, filing a counter claim against me. 🤷
Also, the company really doesn't like the avelNO branding and desperately wants the domain name seized. It tried a UDRP claim via WIPO (www.wipo.int/amc/en/domai...) and lost.
Terrible selfie in front of a protest crows after I spoke.
VERY unplanned, but I was fortunate to speak to the #noKings crowd in Paris about the #avelNO campaign and the power we all have to fight back.
Pick the one thing that matters more than anything else to you. And get involved. Take a risk. Make a difference.
Like the ICE agents they support, they want their identities masked. What are you so ashamed of, Avelo? #avelno

I wonder that this is doing.
No, we all know what this is doing. #AvelNO
There are plenty of other airlines that will get you where you need to go this summer. F these guys.

The equivalent of 6 point font text in T&Cs.. #avelNO
Avelo is so ashamed of its behavior that it is hiding its name on the planes, even after painting them white to take the logos off.
Just say #avelNO!

using the more obscure certificate # vs their name,
where it can't easily be seen.
Because they don't want it to be.

Line chart showing estimated load factor of Avelo's flights from Lakeland to San Juan, generally trending up.
column chart of Avelo's load factor for flights departing ILG. Not bad, but indications of weakening numbers in recent weeks.
Columns chart of approximate load factors for Avelo at Lakeland, trending a bit higher in recent weeks.
Columns chart of approximate load factors for Avelo at New Haven, trending a bit higher in recent weeks.
Been playing around with some TSA data to get a feel for how well Avelo is filling planes. In markets where it is the only airline (LAL, ILG) it is pretty easy to extrapolate. Even down to individual O/D pairs in some cases.
The TSA data includes employees, so some days are >100%.
