Protesters rally at Bradley as Avelo Airlines plans January exit The budget airline announced it would be departing from Bradley International Airport permanently in January.

We did it! @aveloair.bsky.social is leaving Bradley Airport. A dozen groups from the area worked on this as a part of the national effort. #groundavelo #stopavelo @indivisible.org @in-slwm.bsky.social @arliek.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

Avelo quits Bradley after seeking free rent, losing tax subsidy, ICE protest Both protesters and Connecticut's attorney general had targeted Avelo Airlines because it runs deportation planes for ICE.

More great coverage on Avelo’s exit from Bradley Airport! Resistance works.

Avelo pulls out of Bradley Airport Avelo Airlines stop service out of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, the Connecticut Airport Authority announced on Thursday.

Avelo pulls out of Bradley! OMG- Avelo has pulled out of Bradley!

“The CAA understands Avelo’s financial distress and the impacts of public backlash related to its other business decisions”!

Kristi Noem defied as airports refuse to share 'unnecessarily alarmist' message: report A video featuring Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem that was to be shown at TSA check-ins in the nation’s airports is getting a thumbs-down, reports the Washington Post.The controversia...

This is a perfect example of the principled resistance we need from our public officials! Contact these airports to thank them for refusing to play Noem’s illegal video, and tell your airport to follow their example. @arliek.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

50 people showing up for Cooley Dickinson Hospital, health care, and to tell our awesome Senators to keep holding firm on the Trump shutdown.

A nurse ran outside to thank us and take pics for her colleauges, and burst into tears.

And for more on why Israel's attack on Iran, and now the US attack too, is unlawful, see this @adhaque.bsky.social @justsecurity.org post, and others on the site, www.justsecurity.org/115010/israe... which also offers alternative views.

Great idea - let’s expand it to all industries!
