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.

    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.
