I wish that one day, the non-millionaires working hard to make this circus happen, or upholding its relevance, had the insight, the courage and the means to just say no. #BanPrivateJets

This week citizens from @StayGroundedNet,@ScientistRebel1, and @ExtinctionR from around the world took action demanding to ban private jet, tax frequent fliers, and make polluters pay their climate debt. Here's why I support this campaign. 1/🧵

Dans un monde qui brûle, le gaspillage inutile de l’aviation privée n’a plus sa place! Mobilisons-nous devant le salon EBACE à Palexpo (GE)!
That celebrities buy twice as many climate offset certificates as they would need tells you everything you need to know about their confidence in their efficacy.
Good thing media ist not buying this crap.

Private jets flying to deport by force refugees fearful of the menaces they were escaping from is an issue that should cause more indignation. Happens in Europe too. Thanks @ResistenciaNW for raising the issue!

Reggaeton pop superstar Bad Bunny is facing criticism after it was revealed he used private charter flights operated by a company that also contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation flights.

Taylor Swift said in 2022 that she's not always the one flying in her private jets, now it is a privacy breach to track them? She can just sell her last private jet and fly rented private jets as other ultra rich do. Or just fly less and show the world she cares.
@BanPrivateJets I regularly charter a Cessna citation to be with my family in Wellington, Florida for the weekend when my wife trains her horses there during the winter, so glasshouses and stones often there are just no convenient alternatives.
I agree that Swift fans aren't likely to be won over by criticism of their heroine. But that doesn't mean her ultra-carbon behaviour shouldn't be critiqued, or changed. Quite the reverse, she has immense power to set an example.
