After last week's ugly Trump-Zelenskyy meeting, many Americans are expressing a sense of shame. We think focused collective action—with the specific goal of getting the fascists out of power—is the way to turn that shame into pride. From our FAQ section (groundtheplanes.com/faq/):

Again, I am begging just one elected official to say that anything Elon Musk does or says in this government should be treated as an illegal order until his authority is clarified by federal courts.

It's stuff like this that have me vowing not to fly again. It is not safe. Airlines will only stand up if we stop giving them money. Don't buy tickets. Cancel trips, ask for refunds.

There's so much bad in this paragraph it's hard to know where to start. FAA is now controlled by Elon Musk. He's awarding himself this contract. That's not what a conflict of interest means. This is simple looting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
