Best I can do ya is some random dead mayor.

Can we have a Sylvia Rivera airport please, please, please????

chibidankon.bsky.social•116 days ago

BWI is already officially Thurgood Marshall airport. He’s an institutionalist, not a revolutionary, but I think he counts.

hapchem.bsky.social•116 days ago

BWI is Thurgood Marshall - I don't think I'd want to rename it.
You can have Reagan or Dulles, though.

Joe Hill Airport in SLC.

The world is ready for Emma Goldman International(e) Airport in Chicago

Salt Lake City HAS to be Joe Hill International

Flying into London Pankhurst has a ring to it

Harry and Harriette Moore International Airport

Then Brian Eno can pull a Sufjan Stevens, and do an album for every airport themed on their revolutionary.

Frank Little Municipal Airport, Butte Montana

Terminal 1 at SFO is named after Harvey Milk!

summervillain.bsky.social•116 days ago

i would love Malcolm X Airport, but if we could just get That Asshole's name off of DCA i'd settle

larryglickman.bsky.social•116 days ago

We already have the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport!

DB cooper's romp started in portland but the actual flight that he jumped from was out of seattle. who would you say gets the name in this one?

prettyhatmachine.bsky.social•116 days ago

Liverpool in the UK named their airport after a guy who sang “give peace a chance”.

We need more of this. 😁

ewiley.bsky.social•116 days ago

Heck yeah Dulles shoudl be renamed to John Fucking Brown Airport

markpaglia.bsky.social•116 days ago

At least BWI/Thurgood Marshall is the only DC-area airport not currently named for an absolute monster.

ewiley.bsky.social•116 days ago

The most acutely terrible being Dulles, but DCA takes the cake :(

markpaglia.bsky.social•116 days ago

Naming an airport after the guy who fired the air traffic controllers sure was a choice.

crewless.bsky.social•116 days ago

My airport (I live in Birmingham, Alabama) is named after Fred Shuttlesworth!

brianhawkins.bsky.social•116 days ago

Pauli Murray International has a nice ring to it!

erindwyer.bsky.social•116 days ago

While we're doing this can we also go back to boarding planes back to front, which is most efficient, instead of letting people pay for the privilege to get on the plane inefficiently? May the ghost of Emma Goldman haunt whatever airline exec first proposed letting people board willy nilly.

bluespacecanary.bsky.social•116 days ago

Chicago could certainly do worse than Fred Hampton International

Every state in America needs something to commemorate John Brown.
