⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled.
Not hate. Not celebration of death.
Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known.
Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.
@vanillaopinions Republicans don't care about democracy anymore. They only care about oppressing minorities.
And when the minorities are banded together to form a new majority, then democracy becomes something the oppressors will sacrifice in the name of power and oppression.
it really feels like trump could announce the midterms are banned tomorrow due to charlie kirk's assassination and there would be literally no pushback from republicans
@OH_squire@Variety There's a difference between being canceled for being an abusive bigot, and being canceled for standing up to abusive bigots.
The two things are not equal. This isn't football.
Michael Eisner, the former Disney CEO who exited the company 20 years ago, criticized the current CEO Bob Iger — over ABC’s suspending Jimmy Kimmel‘s late-night show “indefinitely.”
"Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?" The ‘suspending indefinitely’ of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC’s aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, ‘Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.'"

Folks putting their faith in the midterm elections don’t seem to understand how quickly things are happening.
Fascism is here and it’s not leaving because of an election.
The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know.
It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda.
1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.
