“Too many people talk about us like we’re chess pieces,” said Mohammed Fares, 25, who is living in Deir al Balah after his family home in Gaza City was destroyed. “They think we can just be moved from one space to another.”

Jimmy Kimmel did not lie.

And he did not disparage Charlie Kirk or take joy in his death.

He mentioned that Republicans were scrambling to show the shooter wasn’t one of them.

Which was true.

He didn’t say the shooter WAS one of them, just that they were trying to prove otherwise.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

I watched the Jimmy Kimmel episode when it was posted on Hulu. He didn't say anything bad about Charlie. Kirk. He made fun of the MAGA *interpretation* of the reasons for assassinating him. This is bizarreoland and an assault on free speech.

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.” www.vox.com/politics/461...

This is wrong. This is an assault on free speech. This is our government using its power to censor and silence its critics like Jimmy Kimmel.

Donald Trump continues to undermine our constitution, our freedoms, and our democracy.

"It’s hard to imagine that Trump cares much whether or not his promises work out for the people who believed them. . . . He already has what he wants: freedom from accountability for a lifetime of lawbreaking and an easy way to line his pockets."
