I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel but I just canceled my Disney+ bundle subscription. I stand for free speech. If Disney wants to bend the knee to an authoritarian I won't give them my money.
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations โ from television networks to newspapers โ are capitulating to these threats.
We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech.
We, the People, deserve better.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesnโt like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN
