Resistance is NOT futile! Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air tomorrow, Tuesday 9/23/25, after a six-day suspension because he criticized people who are trying to make political hay out of Charlie Kirk's murder. This shows our voices matter. Let's turn out in GIANT numbers Oct. 18 for No Kings Day 2.

We have joined the throngs canceling Disney services in the wake of the atrocious suspension of Jimmy Kimmel for speaking truth, and mildly at that. Disney owns ABC and Hulu. I'll miss a couple of Hulu shows, but nothing is worth funding those who enable fascists.
