Disney losing billions over decision to censor Jimmy Kimmel
“And then there’s how capitulating to a bully only invites more bullying – #FCC’s chair Carr, not satisfied with getting #Kimmel removed from the #ABC lineup, is now threatening to target the morning show “The View,” whose hosts are also critical of the #Trump administration.”

Disney reinstates Jimmy Kimmel after backlash over capitulation to FCC
This is a proof that boycotts matter. Make it more significant by staying unsubscribed.

#Disney said in a statement Monday that “#JimmyKimmel Live!” will return to its #ABC broadcast on Tuesday.
The decision came nearly a week after ABC said it was suspending the late night show indefinitely, shortly after the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist #CharlieKirk to #Trump’s #MAGA movement.

Capitulation leads to more capitulation. We need corporations that will fight for democracy, and must BOYCOTT those who won’t.

And as I keep saying, Sinclair and these affiliate stations are NOT economic behemoths in Disney's class.
They are economic light weights in the bigger picture. So if y'all cancelling Disney+ etc got Disney actin right, just a fraction of that boycott hitting Sinclair directly and you might have something 🤔
And remember, don't over do it on praising Disney for Kimmels -partial- return to air. Its best make sure Disney and friends feel long term impacts so they don't dare this gambit again.

The decision about whether to keep #JimmyKimmel on his late-night #ABC show depends on far more than his jokes. The choice is complicated by a web of #business & #regulatory considerations involving ABC’s parent company, other #media companies & the #Trump admin.
It’s the inevitable result of industry #consolidation that over years has built giant #corporations with wide-ranging interests.

The full episode is available online and already appears to have SIX times its typical view counts over the last month or two.
I swore off Jimmy Kimmel years ago cuz he said some shit about Opera back on the man show... But I'll be damned if they gonna cancel him when he's finally punching up at fascism. So he get a solidarity watch from me today.
Solid boycott idea here for the PNW area

Jimmy Kimmel's show went on last night to only partial coverage on TV stations around the US.
In his opener he went right in on the fascist orange elephant in the room, Trump's attempts to censor him...

Before Kimmel's show aired on Tuesday, #Trump wrote that he "can't believe" #ABC gave #Kimmel back his show, & hinted at further action against the network.
"Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, & who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

#Trump then threatens, "He is yet another arm of the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we're going to test #ABC out on this.”

The Sinclair corporation posted on their Twitter account that instead of Jimmy Kimmel they would be airing a news program.
So if you ask me, the Disney boycott should continue in all regions in solidarity with Americans living under the Sinclair censorship regime.
And if you're in Seattle, there's very likely to be even liberals protesting at KOMO HQ tonight again.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT resubscribe to Disney/ABC until AFTER we have all seen Jimmy Kimmel physically back on stage and on the air.
These corporations can not be trusted.
Do not end the boycott until we have fully verified beyond a shadow of a doubt that Disney is upholding their end of the bargain.
UPDATE - not all affiliates are airing Kimmel, the boycott will continue.

The idea that we have allowed a single, private entity to own ABC, Disney, Hulu, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, National Geographic, FX, The Muppets, and ESPN is a serious problem. These enormous companies will always be a crisis. Break them up.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed & thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, & after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday,”the statement from #Disney said.
