Good for Avelo Airlines. The bigger and louder we get, the more intolerable the backlash on companies associated with the Regime will become. Their PR departments hate that sort of thing.
And I think Crockett is correct, except Donny is way worse than Maduro.
The Felon Squatter talked about his morality the other day…I had a good laugh at that one! A being like he is has nothing inside but decrepit organs being pumped full of pharmaceuticals to keep his dreadful old body alive to be used by his oligarchs and regime!
No heart in the moral sense, just a barely pumping organ!
He has no morality. What he does have is MORTALITY! Keep taking those extra-strength baby aspirin Donnie, you 79-year-old toddler, to keep your blood nice and thin...like water, where it doesn't clot...and continue with the vigorous hand-shaking. 😳
Mr. Bezos has driven thousands of small businesses out of the market with Amazon. While initially a notable attempt to drive down prices 20 years ago, which I supported while-heartedly, reading the accounts of business owners who have struggled to survive has convinced me that Amazon is now the worst of the worst. Do your research & you will see how Mr. Bezos’ greed has hurt so many…
And life after Amazon has been not only doable, but much more satisfying.
I boycotted Amazon because I did not want to give Bezos any more of my money when he can’t pay his workers a decent wage. I was also livid when he asked the Nederlands to remove part of a historic bridge so his super yacht could fit through. The hubris!!
I cancelled everything on Amazon several years ago to keep even one penny of my money away from Bezos. He has shown himself to be just another of the psychos supporting the demented Mango Manure Pile and his acolytes and I refuse to let any money I have control over find its way into his coffers. He doesn't adequately support his employees and fawns over a demented moron - why would I want to do anything that benefits him?
Happy Avelo backed down. Protests do have effects. It's encouraging. Also I'm always a fan of Jasmine Crockett. She tells the truth always. She sees the truth always. Gotta go protest ICE now.
Attended a 2 hour ANTI-ICE/Renee Nicole Good commemoration-vigil last night in Dark Red Carroll County MD. Cold weather but passion, candles, and unity kept us warm. What has the "deportation of undocumanted immigrants" done to make this country one bit safer or better? There were 2 people shot here in Anne Arundel County MD in December over ICE nonsense that never made the news. These are summary executions. ICE is a band of lawless, untrained, violent thugs. The millions of dollars spent on these aholes should be going to improve service in this country, not to executioners and violent assaulters.
We were at a Dallas, TX protest last night. I was interviewed by the local CBS station. The local reporter did a very fair segment. My interview piece that made the 10 pm news was my response to her question “why had I come out to the protest?”
My response was a clear and direct “I want my kids and grandkids to grow up in a democracy not in an autocracy!” And that was how the segment ended. That ended up being a pretty good closer.
Why isn’t there a massive boycott of Zuckerberg’s platforms? Show him what happens if everyone STOPS using Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or WhatsApp for a month. It might even help stop Trump’s mis and disinformation campaigns. And -best of all- it might show users how addicted they are!
Hi Diana! We have been off Prime and purchasing directly from the sellers or looking in our local stores except Target which is another Fascist Trump business. Haven't walked in that store for a year. I am going to try Duck Duck Go instead of Google. Heck, what did we do before Google? LOL! Go Ask Jeeves?
get a list of your LOCALLY OWNED businesses.. there are locally owned, your neighbors!! businesses.. you will find great finds, local artists. etc. WHY? aren't you supporting your NEIGHBORS? It mystifies me.. you are too busy? Come on. it is priorities, we all know that and are there or have been. This is how Amazon, Target, Walmart etc.. get you. they appeal to your kids first, then families. TAKE your kids to your LOCAL pet food store, a lesson in where food comes from? Or give them a budget to buy things they eat.. CEREAL MILK ETC.. let them learn so much! And they just learn some manners. LOL A G Grandfather. .I have done my time! LOL
Before covid-19, I just went to stores to buy what I needed, just like everyone has done forever. I shopped locally and used many smaller stores that carried rather unique goods. Getting covid in March 2020 that turned into pneumonia that then required me to be on oxygen 24/7 for 3 months after that forced me to shop on line and have things delivered. All the stores and even fast food places started offering delivery and covid was all over until the vaccines were available, so lots of us slipped into using Amazon and other means to get what we needed safely. I closed my Amazon account and do my shopping where I can go to several stores along the route to make only one trip.
have you tracked how much time you have for yourself? The you time you spend getting angry online? No time eh? you must use Amazon! LOL new tricks.. old dogs? LOL1 just kidding. it is rough.... but GOOD things like disposing DICTATORS
really? I must be nuts then. .lol. take care.. have you tracked how much time you save for yourself? (does that make senses)? We all get angry online.. all of us. .that takes time.. .. sensible .. I guess I should have said. We .. must use Amazon because no time? Irony.. and "You can't teach old dogs new tricks" iconic statement.. It is rough out here.. but the good things are Deposing Dictators.. like trump and his crew.. sorry I confused. It is the right way in my head! lol take care
I love GoDuckGo! But I still use Amazon, unfortunately, because I live semi-rural in two places. One is so small, the only place to go for most things is, unfortunately, Walmart. The other requires a drive into a busy city, taking several hours shopping for things we need or want. I do try to go to the smaller local businesses or their websites when I can. I avoid Target, love Costco.
I use Duck Duck Go too...but it does get info from Google. I only know because I am constantly monitoring everything that is on my tablet, cleaning out my cookies. Even if I haven't used Google the cookies are there..plus they feed you ads. Especially if you use youtube and gmail.
My first search engine before there was Google was Yahoo. I remember when Google started. (I remember Ask Jeeves too. I did love the early internet).
I prefer 'dependent', but yes - I am the same. I am bedridden, and must have everything delivered. Before I had Amazon, I had to hire a helper to run all my errands, and it nearly broke me. I AM totally addicted to kindle! I doubt I could last long without my ebooks. Sending someone to the library for books was never satisfactory, and the choices! OMG! So, sorry but - you'll have to pry my tablet out of my cold, dead hands.
Like our current administration, I hope that when the MAGA influences die, our corporations will be able to be reformed by the need to show their constituents/customers that they've changed. The planet demands it.
I am, too. I pay monthly for Kindle Unlimited and I can read as many books as I want. The price for Kindle books is $4.99 unless they are on sale. I save a great deal of money this way.
I'm afraid so. Unless you reopen it! I have quit Kindle Unlimited, and then rejoined it, and my books were still there. But if you close your main account, you will lose them all. Maybe not permanently, but I don't know for sure.
And Diana, I read so many books - 136 in 2025 - that if Amazon wasn't keeping track, I would be buying or reading the same books! They run together sometimes, and the plot summaries are not always helpful. I read some pretty formulaic books on Kindle Unlimited, because I can't afford to buy many books, and only pay for my favorite authors. I swear, some of those KU books are just slightly different retreads. They change the names of characters and locations, but otherwise they are the same!
hang in there.. we, husband and me.. the same. IF we could get out to the grocery, for other things. Pet food ..we live by subscription.. I get it it still makes me P.O'd , send out the online letters etc. and wait to see what our annual SS raise is gonna be.. a few months later we find out how much everything has escalated in $..irony is that the "increase" and the "deficit" is usually about the same.. COLA adjustment that doesn't take in the next increase in coverage costs.. We are always behind.. always.. take care of yourself. that is the biggest thing to remember. and big Bear Hugs to you..
I had to laugh on January 1st when I saw that the increase in Medicare was slightly more than my COLA. It was a laugh of dismay, however. At least I finally canceled my Medicare Advantage Plan, though! Maybe I can end this month with a couple of bucks still in the bank? Hope is a fine thing, isn't it?
It is! Lol. I wish I could cnx my Advantage plan F. However, 2 knees, shoulders etc don’t last forever nor save that much ..the 20%.. if I wanted to come back I could not. And chronic pain disease costs too much a.. even the 20% and co pays. 🤞on the Mid-Terms!! Uncle Bernie says! 🌹
I'm not sure that I agree with that statement. When a company supports a person that does not have my best interests at heart, how do you reconcile that? I just have so much anger for this administration that maybe I am not seeing thing clearly.
I can’t get rid of Amazon because I live in a rural area, I am unable to drive anymore and I have mobility issues. I wish some business like Costco would give Amazon a run for their money. I would switch in a heartbeat.
So many of the wealthy business owners own everything we need and use everyday. Apple, too.
As I responded to @Sharon C Storm, my mother also had mobility issues. I get it. It sucks. We live in a country of convenience because we really don't have a lot of choices.
Hey Debra! We did a big one in 2021 and that changed some things they reverted back to. Now it might be too late for the midterms. We've found disinformation spreads more when we aren't on the platforms to fight it.
I get it, Scott. We have to let people know that Facebook (and now Instagram and the others) are propaganda centers (it’s how Trump won in ‘16 using Facebook to spread disinformation to new voters who didn’t know any better). I’m listening to this right now, and they address how Trump’s one liners over and over became a mantra for the right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB_hzpMqjtE
Those are much more difficult to avoid - especially for anyone who, like myself, is a disabled shut-in. I tried leaving Google, but the alternatives are not good.
Been using them for couple of years now and they’re great. Check out Ecosia’s mission statement and Jack Dorsey who owned Twitter recommended using DDG which he used! I switched and have never looked back
I am no longer on Facebook and I'm trying to figure out how to close my Instagram account. All of my family is on WhatsApp so I don't know how to tell them to switch.
Jasmine ride his ass out! Your courage and determination is truly amazing and God and His People Stand Firmly With You!! Bless You and continue to fight because We Win!!!
“You got to win the midterms,” Trump told House Republicans at a retreat Tuesday. “If we don’t win the midterms … they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”
I’m glad Avelo Airlines has decided to end the contract with ICE, but it bothers me they did it because they were loosing money! How about showing your customers that you have values and morals first!
I live in CT (where Avelo is headquartered) & flew Avelo last January for the first time. I was horrified a few weeks later when I learned they were assisting ICE, and have not flown them since. I’ve been aware of the regular protests at Tweed airport in New Haven where they are based, and am very happy to hear they are finally getting out of that bastardly business (like Hilton), but disappointed it took them so long.
Re: Crockett calling Trump America’s Maduro - brilliant!!! She is so damn good with words, as that’s exactly what I was thinking. Go girl!!!
Wonderful to see the people getting out to have their concerns heard. I believe it will only grow and get stronger. While I'm still reeling from the murder of an innocent woman, I'm in disbelief at how the regime blatantly lie about it. They must be stopped.
The CEO of Avelo realizes that Trump’s power is dimishing and that, if his airline is to continue, it cannot be involved with ICE. The ICE taint would prevent any rational American from choosing to fly it in the future. I agree with Jasmine Crockett that Trump and Maduro have the same lack of morality. Trump didn’t break the law to arrest Maduro to improve the lives of Venezuelans. Trump doesn’t care about anyone except himself. He did it to flex his muscles!
I agree with both decisions. What I don’t agree with or understand is why Trump is never brought up on charges for all the illegal acts. Why isn’t he in jail? Are there no judges that will stand up and carry out the law. There are no consequences.
Unfortunately, the Republicans are using the system only in their favor for stalling everything and being cowards to the TRUMP FASCIST REGIME. It is Fascism!

He has no “morality”, he is amoral. He is one evil being in an inflated flesh suit.
If I may chuckle for a moment to release my anger, I love "inflated flesh suit". 🤗
I’m glad I could make you chuckle, we all need to laugh.
You did Sharon. Thank you. 🙏 I think there should be a book of Substack-isms. I've gotten some of my best material from this place. 😂
Bloated, senile, Orange Fat Boi
I think I'm dyslexic. I saw Orange Fat BLOB lol.

He has no morality. What he does have is MORTALITY! Keep taking those extra-strength baby aspirin Donnie, you 79-year-old toddler, to keep your blood nice and thin...like water, where it doesn't clot...and continue with the vigorous hand-shaking. 😳
We have always known, every word from him is a complete LIE—never
should have been born, nor his father, the NAZI who taught him to take, steal & lie and thus think he is a winner! What scumbags
It took Avelo long enough. They should have refused from the get go. We need to go after Amazon. Too many people are using Amazon.
PLEASE STATE YOUR REASPNS FOR BOYCOTTING AMAZON.
I CAN BE CONVINCED.
Mr. Bezos has driven thousands of small businesses out of the market with Amazon.

That was my thought also

GREAT ANSWER! THANK YOU for stepping up!
I took Avelo once, long before this happened. I’ll never give them business again. Glad the outrage worked its mojo, see also Jimmy Kimmel.
Is it really a domestic airline? I never heard of it until they started flying deportees. I’m glad the CEO came to his senses.
Yes, though they recently stopped serving the west coast, they still are serving other regions.
Thanks for the information.
Boom. America stand up!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭
Beautiful to see.
Why isn’t there a massive boycott of Zuckerberg’s platforms? Show him what happens if everyone STOPS using Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or WhatsApp for a month. It might even help stop Trump’s mis and disinformation campaigns. And -best of all- it might show users how addicted they are!
I wish someone would come up with an alternative platform to FB, Insta, etc., that everyone could migrate to and leave ole' Zuck in the dustbin.
It's called 'Substack'. I don't use anything else.
Hellloooo LJ ‼️
You’re on it!
SUBSTACK
Amen. I do, too. There is a lot of corruption on Facebook.
There is one. It’s called BlueSky. I’ve been there for a couple of years now. It’s very ‘blue’ friendly.
Or, what if we bombard them with translations of articles like this: https://www.mcmillenhealth.org/tamtalks/dangers-of-social-media
Good plan. I hate facebook anyway! 😅
Brilliant! I agree, trying not to use all these so called social media for a month would free the brain to act in normal and healthy way!
Your point is valid, but what do we replace those platforms with? I admit that I'm addicted. I still haven't gotten rid of Amazon.

I am so Kindle dependent. That is the only reason I haven't left Amazon. When a book in my list is suddenly "free," it's like Christmas.
Try Libby for your books !
It’s through your public library and best of all IT’S FREE
Good to now. Thanks!
I am, too. I pay monthly for Kindle Unlimited and I can read as many books as I want. The price for Kindle books is $4.99 unless they are on sale. I save a great deal of money this way.
If I cancel my Amazon account, do I lose access to all of the books I bought?
I'm afraid so. Unless you reopen it! I have quit Kindle Unlimited, and then rejoined it, and my books were still there. But if you close your main account, you will lose them all. Maybe not permanently, but I don't know for sure.

Amazon is not the problem. The regulatory system in which it exists is the problem.
I hope you're right, Richard, because that can be fixed. But first we need to get corporate money out of politics!
I agree, Paula. Citizens United must be overturned, which will require a new supreme court
I'm not sure that I agree with that statement. When a company supports a person that does not have my best interests at heart, how do you reconcile that? I just have so much anger for this administration that maybe I am not seeing thing clearly.
I can’t get rid of Amazon because I live in a rural area, I am unable to drive anymore and I have mobility issues. I wish some business like Costco would give Amazon a run for their money. I would switch in a heartbeat.
So many of the wealthy business owners own everything we need and use everyday. Apple, too.
As I responded to @Sharon C Storm, my mother also had mobility issues. I get it. It sucks. We live in a country of convenience because we really don't have a lot of choices.
I haven’t left Amazon either. I’m 85 and disabled. I can’t shop in stores that don’t have electric mobility carts because I can’t walk very far.
I get it. My mother was mobility challenged. I just wish that Bezos would get a conscience.
I would not hold my breath!
Action steps: Duck Duck Go is a search engine that my Apple Instructor suggests. It's private and free. https://duckduckgo.com/
Buy online from Costco, as they supposedly haven't passed tariffs on to the consumers. Get out and shop local!
Amazon - only use them once a week or month.
One day at a time! Substack will tell you everything you want (and don’t want) to know.
Hey Debra! We did a big one in 2021 and that changed some things they reverted back to. Now it might be too late for the midterms. We've found disinformation spreads more when we aren't on the platforms to fight it.
Would it ba a waste ot time to attempt to educate people? There is so much onformation out there regarding how addictive and detrimental it is. There are acually social media harm experts out there. https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/news/just-how-harmful-social-media-our-experts-weigh
I get it, Scott. We have to let people know that Facebook (and now Instagram and the others) are propaganda centers (it’s how Trump won in ‘16 using Facebook to spread disinformation to new voters who didn’t know any better). I’m listening to this right now, and they address how Trump’s one liners over and over became a mantra for the right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB_hzpMqjtE
I quit them when Covid hit. Don't miss any of them. At all.
Debra, Google and Amazon too!
Those are much more difficult to avoid - especially for anyone who, like myself, is a disabled shut-in. I tried leaving Google, but the alternatives are not good.
Try Duck, duck, go. Better than Google and our searches are not saved.
Here’s 2 Paula:
DuckDuckGo
And Ecosia.
Been using them for couple of years now and they’re great. Check out Ecosia’s mission statement and Jack Dorsey who owned Twitter recommended using DDG which he used! I switched and have never looked back
Thanks! Will do asap!
I bailed from those many months ago.
I am no longer on Facebook and I'm trying to figure out how to close my Instagram account. All of my family is on WhatsApp so I don't know how to tell them to switch.
Here you go: https://help.instagram.com/139886812848894/
I hear ya, Sylvia. One platform at a time!
maybe the old fashioned ways? Call them on the phone.. or write a letter?
I have a very large family: 3 daughters, 11 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. We have group chats. It saves time for them.
Crockett is right on. Trump is trying to be Maduro for the US.
Sure is
Jasmine ride his ass out! Your courage and determination is truly amazing and God and His People Stand Firmly With You!! Bless You and continue to fight because We Win!!!
Crockett is awesome!
She certainly speaks for me! We need more like her. It's as if she knows what most of us are thinking, but can't express.
Apropos of nothing, doesn't she look beautiful in yellow? She glows! 💛💛💛
Well, here we are on the precipice of a Third impeachment, that Donald Trump himself knows is coming.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-gathering-this-week-still-sucks-really-bad-sigh
“You got to win the midterms,” Trump told House Republicans at a retreat Tuesday. “If we don’t win the midterms … they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”
— Donald Trump
Third times the charm!
I was just going to parrot that saying Sam😁🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Please let this at least happen.
impeachment means nothing if there is not an IMPRISONMENT!
👍👍👍👍👍
"find a reason".. .lol that is so good! find a reason. .you have to fine a reason NOT TO IMPEACH! lol
I love the fact he is terrified. He is a coward! He should not only be impeached, but should be sitting in a Supermax.
I’m glad Avelo Airlines has decided to end the contract with ICE, but it bothers me they did it because they were loosing money! How about showing your customers that you have values and morals first!
Why is it always about money?
Great question Beverly!
I live in CT (where Avelo is headquartered) & flew Avelo last January for the first time. I was horrified a few weeks later when I learned they were assisting ICE, and have not flown them since. I’ve been aware of the regular protests at Tweed airport in New Haven where they are based, and am very happy to hear they are finally getting out of that bastardly business (like Hilton), but disappointed it took them so long.
Re: Crockett calling Trump America’s Maduro - brilliant!!! She is so damn good with words, as that’s exactly what I was thinking. Go girl!!!
Hilton is back in business with ICE and apologized!
😡🤬
Yeah I am so confused by that whole situation. Because even after the statement, in person they denied federal agents a booking.
Really?! Ugggg!!! 🤬
Wonderful to see the people getting out to have their concerns heard. I believe it will only grow and get stronger. While I'm still reeling from the murder of an innocent woman, I'm in disbelief at how the regime blatantly lie about it. They must be stopped.
The CEO of Avelo realizes that Trump’s power is dimishing and that, if his airline is to continue, it cannot be involved with ICE. The ICE taint would prevent any rational American from choosing to fly it in the future. I agree with Jasmine Crockett that Trump and Maduro have the same lack of morality. Trump didn’t break the law to arrest Maduro to improve the lives of Venezuelans. Trump doesn’t care about anyone except himself. He did it to flex his muscles!
I agree with both decisions. What I don’t agree with or understand is why Trump is never brought up on charges for all the illegal acts. Why isn’t he in jail? Are there no judges that will stand up and carry out the law. There are no consequences.
We pushed so hard for years on that Penny I ask that question every day
Unfortunately, the Republicans are using the system only in their favor for stalling everything and being cowards to the TRUMP FASCIST REGIME. It is Fascism!
