Yesterday, a Florida judge overturned the national mask mandate on planes
and public transportation -- and [ [link removed] ]we need to pressure the airlines to
act responsibly today.
This judge is a Trump appointee who worked for Clarence Thomas -- and is
among just 22 judicial appointees the American Bar Association rated "not
qualified" out of 1,400 they've ranked since 1989!
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Justice Department will
decide whether to appeal the decision, but every major airline immediately
made masks optional. Ridiculously, some flight attendants danced and went
around collecting masks to throw out.
One political leader said this new "optional" policy is like "having a no
peeing section in the public pool." Larry David specifically had a scene
about this [ [link removed] ]on his show, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION TO MAJOR AIRLINES: Every airline should voluntarily
have some flights designated as mask required. That's the right way to
give people a choice. Not sitting masked people next to unmasked sneezers
and MAGA science deniers.
Please forward to others -- pressure is needed TODAY. After you sign,
we'll help you to post on social media and tag major airlines like United,
American, Delta, Southwest, and Alaskan.
Here are some reactions on Twitter from some members of the public:
"I am on a plan with my 2 not-yet-eligible for vax kids & the pilot just
announced that the mask mandate has just this minute ended. Ppl clapped &
took off their masks. Here we are having boarded a plane with our kids.
Very upset, @Delta, that this was announced mid flight."
"This means our 4yo won’t get to see her grandfather who is sick with
cancer in a different part of the world before he dies. I am very angry."
"On a @delta flight and the pilot comes on to JOYOUSLY share the news that
masks are no longer required. Mid-flight. The passengers proudly strutting
through the aisles maskless make me physically ill. And I mean that
literally cuz shiz about to SPIKE."
"A few people remain with masks on. But most now without. Smiles and
laughter. Most JetBlue employees I’m seeing including flight attendants
have no mask. 100s around me about to enter NY where a new variant is
spreading. All because a single Trump appointee overruled the CDC."
"It’s outrageous a single judge in one state can make national health
policy."
"OK which airline is going to step up & be the masks one so we (with our
unvaxxable 4yo) can give you all our business? I have to go to FL for work
next month. No way am I sitting in a covid tube with unmaskers and
bringing whatever home to kid."
[ [link removed] ]TELL THE AIRLINES: People should have a real choice to protect
themselves when traveling. Every airline should voluntarily have some
flights designated as mask required.
