So they made the call: “#JimmyKimmel Live” would temporarily go dark.
That decision—the product of a spider’s web of interlocking #political & #financial pressures placed atop one of the country’s biggest #corporations —quickly morphed into a flashpoint for #FreeSpeech in the #US. Many #Democrats, actors & comedians cried foul as #FarRight activists celebrated.On a diplomatic trip in Britain, #Trump knocked #Kimmel for “bad ratings” & proclaimed that #ABC “should have fired him a long time ago.”

Here is the clip from the #JimmyKimmel Show on Tuesday night 9-16-2025
He points out #JDVance lying on the #CharlieKirk show & how the #DOJ took the stats off the page that showed the majority of the domestic violence was from the RIGHT.

#ABC Pulls #JimmyKimmel off air for #CharlieKirk comments after #FCC chair issued a threat to remove ABC's broadcast license.
That's how Trump's govt rolls now: blatant gangster moves.
"Gee, nice network you got there. Too bad if s/thing should happen to it."

"The charade that the Republican party supports free speech has ended with their collective reaction to the murder of Kirk. And I don’t mean random MAGA people clamoring for people to be fired or worse for daring to say something they don’t agree with about Kirk. No, it’s coming from the Trump officials to GOP members of Congress to state officials."

"The right claims to be concerned with free speech. But as we’ve seen the past week from the Trump regime down, the right will use all its power to silence speech they oppose. If we don’t push back hard now, next the GOP will silence all dissent in our country because that is what fascist movements have long done."

"In the days after Kirk’s killing, many of us who study political violence and reactionary movements checked in with each other—historians, journalists, sociologists, political scientists. We were all seeing the same thing."

Kristin Du Mez writes that after the campaign to silence anyone speaking truth about Charlie Kirk as mandates were issued that we canonize him began,
"A friend from another country asked me: 'Is this your Reichstag fire?'
''It might be,' I told him. ...
The problem with being a historian is that we know how scripts like this tend to play out. Almost always play out."

"This isn’t a program that’s primarily concerned with changing policies or systems; it’s a fetish for domination."
Note to now-repentant Republicans: It's been a domination fetish for a long time now, from the point at which William F. Buckley defined conservatism as standing athwart history, yelling Stop. It has been about coercing and bullying for a long time now: ask its victims.

"They want to set the laws. To force others to live by their preferences. To be able to extract wealth from whatever corner of the system they like. They embrace, nay, they celebrate corruption. They are in favor of political violence, so long as it is carried out by actors sympathetic to their cause."
