Commercial airlines are for consumers and cargo, not ICE enforcement. The 4 major U.S. carriers should disallow all ICE-related bookings.

The White House and GOP-controlled Congress had ONE job to do β€” find a bipartisan resolution to open the government *without* stripping access to affordable healthcare for millions of vulnerable Americans.

This pathetic β€œdeal” doesn’t do that and makes America’s affordability crisis much worse.

This is also a workers’ rights issue. My fellow airline workers and I shouldn’t be required to facilitate deportations. We didn’t sign up for ICE. This action would hold airlines accountable too. Major US air carriers, subsidized by our tax dollars, shouldn’t be profiting off of mass deportation.

Thanks for the note, it’s been considered. Now is a time to get in the way, to gum up the works, to find ways to slow the process. We must constrain mass deportations until we get power back for a legislative solution. This does that. No realistic option is perfect, but inaction is NOT an option.

The goal of this specific campaign is not to just be a watch dog for abuse, but to end the abuse. Though, to your point, reform efforts will most definitely be needed for the other vehicles of deportation.

Thanks for listening and for your questions!

They would fly charters like Avelo Airlines with ICE contracts. The difference is Avelo has a fleet of 22 aircraft. The 4 main US carriers have 3,790 aircraft. Ending access to commercial airlines significantly limits mass deportation… One big piece of a larger puzzle. More action will be needed.

With $45 Billion extra dollars allocated for deportations in the #OneBigUglyBill, more deportations WILL occur on commercial flights.

Sign the petition now to block #ICE access to 45k daily commercial flights: www.change.org/Airlines-Are...

This Labor Day I’m grateful to be a dues-paying member and rep of a great labor union. @apfaunity.bsky.social

I’m reflecting on the accomplishments of organized labor, and recommitting to the labor movement. When corporate greed has run amok, unions are more important now than ever.

Thank you @binthed.bsky.social! Yes, it’s cruel to migrants, and morally compromising for other travelers and crew members. And if the Trump admin lost access to the 45k commercial flights a day in the US, it would limit the flow of mass deportations. Thanks for helping spread the word!

Grateful to be back on @msnbc.com @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social to discuss my op-ed in the Tennesseean.

The Trump Administration's cruel mass deportation effort has no place on commercial flights.

If the admin was forced to use gov planes and charters, without access to 45k daily commercial flights, it would limit these lawless deportations.

Grateful @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social covered my op-ed!

TSA's right to form a union makes us all safer | Opinion The Trump administration’s decision to end collective bargaining rights for Transportation Security Officers threatens our national security.

The Trump Administration has waged war on the working class and organized labor. I was grateful to highlight this attack β€” specifically on TSA β€” in my hometown paper, the Knoxville News Sentinel. #UnionStrong @knoxdems.bsky.social

The Trump Administration is for, by, and of the filthy rich β€” trying to slash Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security for their next billionaire tax break.

On May Day, I represented the APFA Union as we demanded they finally prioritize the people over their profits.

This Easter, the teachings of Jesus feel especially poignant. I’m reflecting on the 2,000+ verses that instruct us to welcome the immigrant, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and love our neighbor as ourselves.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror
