ABC/Disney joins fascist purge, suspends <em>Jimmy</em><em> Kimmel </em><em>Live!</em> indefinitely over Kirk remarks
www.wsws.org
Kimmel’s suspension is part of an ongoing witch hunt to suppress all political views that express opposition to the fascist Trump administration.

Facing pressure from the Trump administration on Monday, ABC—owned by Disney—announced it would be suspending the late-night television show Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely,” after the host came under attack from fascists and Trump administration officials over his commentary on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

    • cancel Disney+, Hulu, ESPN
    • Perry Sook is responsible for Nexstar and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel. Nexstar’s phone number is 972-373-8800
    • Cancel any planned trips to Disney’s theme parks. Halt any purchases of Disney memorabilia. Try to do these cancelations over the phone or chat. Tell them it’s because you don’t want any of your money going to the Disney corporation so long as Kimmel is off the air
    • If you live near a Disney Store or the Disney Parks or a Disney/ABC corporate office, organize a group of friends to picket in front of the building/property and encourage employees to consider calling in sick (don’t be mean to them though, they may be in a tough place)

      Yeah, that’s, like, every single cell phone service provider and a ton of medically necessary, life-medications. You can’t just boycott this shit. That’s to say nothing about the insurance companies, which are sometimes not even a choice for a lot of people.

        You individually don’t have to do everything. Drop the one least important holding from your life, and let the company know why you did it

        Nobody has to die. A fuckton of us just have to do without Disney+ for a bit.

          It’s honestly shocking to me that anybody is still subscribed to Disney+ at all. This is far from the only reason to not support Disney, and it right now is when you’re deciding to boycott Disney, you’re just doing it performatively or you’ve been burying your head in the sand for way too long.

              That’s not what it’s really about. I’m saying that people doing it now only care because of this one thing that they are being outrage-baited into caring about temporarily. It’s performative.

      unfortunately this is not going to work as a protest just cancelling shit

      look up all the companies and see who controls it then look up to see who controls them

      all operated by the same megacorps such as the news and other media

      all United States companies are tied in with everyday life just one example on your list is insurance and imagine trying to take care of our elders with the small number of resources available on top of them not having a way to ring out

      and there is no other company to go to because just like unilever everything is controlled by the same groups

      fixing this willing require trashing the whole goddamn thing and starting over which is maybe the only solution left
