Imagine being a political party and not immediately getting on every outlet possible to scream about how the opposition party just got a show with 1.6 million viewers canceled because a president with a 30% approval rating didn't like it.

Kimmel is getting way more focus than the fact that the president of the United States of america just declared that anyone who’s against him could be officially labeled a terrorist.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree. Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist." Just like that, we lost America.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
