MoveOn petition urges ABC and Disney to keep Jimmy Kimmel on air
MoveOn launched a petition titled "Keep Jimmy Kimmel on-air and NO caving to authoritarian censorship!" urging ABC and Disney not to fire Jimmy Kimmel after President Donald Trump demanded his firing over an "expectant widow" joke about Melania Trump. The petition tells ABC and Disney to resist government pressure and says neither critics, comedians, nor corporations should be scared into submission. The dispute began after Kimmel made the roast-style joke on his show, which Melania Trump called "hateful and violent rhetoric" and asked ABC to "take a stand." Supporters say networks acceding to presidential demands would set a precedent that undermines late-night satire and corporate editorial independence.
democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us
En Buen Ora49and if somehow the Democrats win Congress in the upcoming elections this, too, will be a sign that The Fever Has Broken, and Now Is the Time to return to working with our Dear, Honored, Cherished, Trusted Friends on the Other Side of the Aisle
Rod Green10media: both sides perhaps need to tone down the heated rhetoric.

Ike55781 million voted for Biden in 2020 75 million voted for Harris in 2024 Lets get the 6 million back Republicans can fuck right off And, btw... #8647
Mr. K7As much as I hate Republicans, it almost as maddening that only like 5 Democrats recognize Republicans and their voters are irredeemable and need to be treated as the enemies they are.
Rochester.Ray6Dems we must come together as a nation. We all want the same thing. Republicans: we have already built the camps that you will be killed in.
Mike Peyrot5And at every opportunity, rethugs balme the dems for everything bad, real and imaginary. Maddening.
Ollie McClellan4democrats: if we don't uphold the norms, who will? republicans: the norm is me fucking your mother, pointdexter
Brian Marron4The tough-guy party seems to really be hurt by words.
m4m1y47.bsky.social3And by the way, we are funding Trump’s ballroom so he can keep the donation from the oligarchs
PhoenixWomanMN 2When y'all get done fighting the imaginary Democrats in your head, could you actually do something useful? Like, say, pointing out that Operation Minnesota Siege cost more than any of the alleged fraud it was supposed to be fighting? bsky.app/profile/phoe...
RamsHornStudios2They need to start treating them all like they're hiding a zombie bite.
joewv.bsky.social2If democrats could count on consistent high turnout among all democratic factions, they wouldn’t need to count on republicans to turn on Trump. High turnout would also lead to better candidates being nominated. Gerrymandering would completely backfire in that situation too.
The FCC is now threatening ABC's broadcast licenses, days after Donald Trump and Melania Trump demanded they fire Jimmy Kimmel. This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Mr. President: Read the Constitution. Freedom of speech is the First Amendment for good reason.
thyroid-2303.bsky.social10ABC you better not cave
Michelle Ringler9Yeah, going after networks over jokes isn’t exactly a great look for ‘free speech.
cremationladyfl.bsky.social4Oh for heavens sake. What a bunch of thin skinned people. Goodness, the crap and vitriol that Obama put up w every single day was significantly worse. Do NOT pull their license FCC. WTF!!!
klt1957.bsky.social3The last time ABC and Disney tried to "control" Kimmel and his monologues it backfired and Disney lost a good portion of their customers. ABC has also already paid the Trumps 15M. Two choices: Fire him and see what happens. It won't be pretty. Or read the 1st Amendment again and get over it.
Tony Serrata 🇺🇦3HE CAN'T READ! HE'S AN ILLITERATE MORON AND FASCIST
Kate Sometimes2Senator, I think you ask a bit much of Dear Leader. Do you really suppose he CAN read?
LaurieKafka2If they cave, we will all retaliate by not watching them. That’s easy! They mostly respond to their bottom line, $$$. So we will see about this.
America Will Survive This 🙏2He is using the justice system for his personal petty revenge on people. There must be a way Congress can stop him.
Trump DOJ indicts James Comey over seashells, FCC targets Jimmy Kimmel, GOP chaos on Capitol Hill, gas prices surge, Zelenskyy blasts Israel, and MORE. The new daily bulletin just dropped. Read it now. 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
cwhalen54.bsky.social14Are they going to indict Bezos also? Amazon has pages and pages of 8647 merchandise.
Darbz14What a joke. In the Obama years you could buy range targets of him for crying out loud.
skirtgrl.bsky.social9The Seashell Conspiracy. We are such a dumb country,
rbus39337410.bsky.social6The one thing everyone must realize lest you let them get away with it is that everything they come up with is to distract from the Epstein files; therefore, you want to associate their distraction for the day with Epstein incorporated into your post.
Deirdre [REDACTED]5The thing about James Comey is that love him or hate him - he’s got a successful track record as a lawyer & he’ll run circles around the bottom of the barrel DOJ lawyers - bc that’s all that’s left.
vl2024.bsky.social5They are reaching the end of their ropes
BGNurse4What’s amazing is that if not for the Comey letter about Hillary she would have been the President!
BlueShifting4Protecting speech under the first amendment has become a shell game!
Trust Science 📎4Scary Seashells Scatter Sycophants Say it fast
riversofsound.bsky.social4Someone explain to me that this wasn't a threat against the then-VP. Trump's crowd was chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and built this: (Photo from NYT) I know they're not scary sea shells, but seems very bad to me.
CA-NC-GA Lady3Are they really come for all of us?? This is my car!
spunkyoldlady.bsky.social2I don't see anything wrong with it, I thought 86 meant throw away or get rid of which in my thinking means impeach, arrest, confine or 25th amendment or vote in replacement. No violence at all.
7r-ick.bsky.social2And as for Trump: his refusal to mitigate coronavirus, which led to the deaths of over 1 mil Americans, his cuts in USAID, which has led to the deaths of nearly 1 mil Africans, his bombing of an Iranian girls school, citizen Pretti - dead, citizen Good - dead and still, Trump remains a free man.
jayjohns69.bsky.social2DOJ will lose this case Lots of people get 86 from bars Being 86 doesn't mean the bouncer takes you outside & murders them Jesus fucking Christ these people have lost their minds to waste government tax dollars on a failed case like this
The White House is now calling Jimmy Kimmel a "shit human" in official communications. This isn't a late-night bit this is the actual administration. We've entered a new level of unhinged. Trump up again last night shit-posting! When will it all end? #ImpeachTrump #USDemocracy #Pinks
Jack The Cat5👇Whiny lil bitch 👇Comic Genius
Richard Russell #🟦 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦 #IStandWithUkraine4If anyone is deranged, it's not Kimmel, it's the occupants of the White House. Also, they are the 💩 people, not Kimmel. There have never been shittier pieces of 💩 than the crooks that currently hold the reins of power in the USA.
The Federal Communications Commission has ordered Disney's ABC to seek early broadcast license renewals for the eight TV stations it owns amid backlash over Jimmy Kimmel's joke about Melania Trump. n.pr/42GrEaV
jakeofnotrades.bsky.social51Disney should take Carr to court and make him explain this in a way that isn't vindictive and selective.
Allan Schlosser21With Trump toady Carr its chairman, good luck describing the FCC as an "independent regulatory agency."
lynneerose.bsky.social18But don’t dare say “fascism”
Marc Bloomquist17Don’t tread on me, tread on everyone else.
Kristi8If their skins were any thinner they’d resemble those plastic anatomical models in HS biology class.
mellowcanuck.bsky.social5How someone so worthless of character can sieze the USA....its a boggle.
mooncatdancing.bsky.social4This can’t be allowed! WTF? Is there no recourse in this country? They really just get to walk all over the constitution and everything else?
The Dude2Donald Trump posts video of truck showing hog-tied Joe Biden who was president at the time. Comey? lol
His Grace, the Duke of Ankh, CDR Sir Samuel Vimes2Brendan Carr is full of shit.
www.mediaite.com/media/news/b... #PB #USD. Trump Regime’s FCC is determined to end free speech in America. Due to a joke the snowflake Trump family did not like FCC Censor In Chief Brandon Carr is once again threatening ABC unless they fire Jimmy Kimmel for doing his job. Fuck Fascist FCC and Carr.
Barbara Rybolt 🐸8#StandWithJimmy Don’t forget you can #CancelDisney if you want to remind ABC/Disney what happened last time!
AgentJoeMcJoe™3Didn't the turd-in-chief order CBS to fire Jimmy Kimmel who works at ABC? Seriously? ABC.. Jimmy Kimmels show is the only show on ABC anyone watches, so if he's fired (again) who'll watch ABC? Absolutely no one. But Mr. ThinSkin, Donny J. Trumpy can't handle a joke. Or seashells.
