Here is the full Jimmy Kimmel monologue from his return show.

I fully support Kimmel in every way. Disney tried to silence him but instead made him more popular and more powerful than ever. Disney lost $4 billion in the process. I didn't know the Disney executives were that stupid.

“One of the most depressing 35 mins of my life… the way we’ve decided to treat each other on these panels like we’re enemies…”

In which being on a panel (with Kari Lake) understandably bums out @timmiller.bsky.social , who says stop blaming entire groups for an individual’s deranged actions.

Wow… shocker, these clips didn’t age well.🙄 It was never about free speech with them. If they really wanted to honor Charlie Kirk, keep speech free. Kirk must be rolling in his grave. #liesliesandmorelies #magalies #resistfascism #jimmykimmel #freespeech #saveourdemocracy

Hey I know a great way we can ALL honor the life of #CharlieKirk and his influence!

By signing this petition through the Sandy Hook Promise, operated by the parents of the Sandy Hook victims, to support gun violence legislation nationwide! takeaction.sandyhookpromise.org/a/preventsch...

Sign the Petition
Demanding the Senate
Pass Expanded
Background Checks
Expanding background checks on gun sales is a commonsense reform that we know would protect children from gun violence. But it's been a year since the House of Representatives passed this bipartisan legislation, and the Senate still hasn't voted on this critical legislation.

What IS the proper thing to feel & say when someone who spends much of their time successfully influencing decision-makers to NOT take any responsible action to prevent completely preventable gun violence, including mass school shootings, himself becomes a victim of that gun violence?

🚨 We need to pay attention to what’s happening at the CDC. This isn’t bureaucratic drama — it’s a political takeover of our public health agency. The fallout will hit vaccines, outbreaks, and crisis response.

Our health is on the line. We can’t look away.

Tweet from user @donmoynihan overlaid on an image of the CDC headquarters. The tweet criticizes a statement made by CDC leader Rochelle Walensky, discussing historical resistance to fascism saying "Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back.
"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Tweet from Henry M. Rosenberg saying: "Anybody who wants a Covid vaccine should be able to get it and insurance should cover it. Trump is politicizing Covid like he did in 2020 when his actions led to a million people dying in the U.S."

Social media post showing a collage with an image of a person receiving a vaccine with another individual's face in the background, overlaid with text discussing the distribution of the COVID vaccine in the U.S. from "The Daily Beast" news outlet.
