    • KLAX = George Takei International Airport (he’s still living as of this writing, but he would also be a representative of the west coast’s Asian community and, more importantly, the American incarceration of the Japanese in concentration camps in WWII)

    • KBDL = Shirley Chisholm International Airport (Closest airport to NYC I have left and she was a legend and it sticks it to the rich whities in Connecticut)

    • KIAH = Sally Ride Intercontinental Airport (first American woman in space and Houston of all places should honor that)

    • KDJT = Bessie Coleman International (because a criminal demented pedophile should be stripped of all of his vanity trophies and have at least one of them renamed for a black woman … and a bad ass one at that)

    • KSNA = Ella Fitzgerald International (because John Wayne was an asshole)

    • KTEB = Eleanor Roosevelt Airport (those rich asses in their private jets need to be constantly reminded that the people, like in '32, are tired of their shit)

    • KLGA = Margaret Sanger International Airport (Sanger did more for women/the poor in one day of work in the slums than Fiorello ever did)

    • KDCA = Amelia Earhart International (because naming any shit after Ronald Reagan is an abomination & Amelia was amazing)

    • KIAD = Harriet Tubman International (a heroic black woman who fought America’s original sin is infinitely a preferable name for this airport than a ridiculous Republican)
