Millions of people boycotting & speaking out in unison put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.
Let’s not forget he’s not the only victim of fascism.
For every Kimmel there’s hundreds more who’ve been silenced for their views that we may never hear of.
Fight for them.

Yeah, I freely admit that I lacked the imagination to realize that the sharp, biting commentary of … Jimmy Kimmel … would lead to the moment that marked the end of the American experiment.

I still can't believe a large segment of Red America looks at this pampered crybaby, slathered in orange makeup with his cotton candy combover, doing his little dances to the Village People and going on endlessly about his passion for interior decorating, and thinks "now *that* is an Alpha Male"

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

It really is a grim ritual that we have so many acts of violence that evolve into another grim ritual of everyone waiting to see what team the maniac played for, and half the time that has already been decided by the grim ritual of everyone speculating before anyone has any clue about it

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

UPenn just communicated to every young trans person in the country that they are not safe on that campus. I hope every young person who was considering UPenn for college understands that and applies elsewhere. Your trans friends are not safe on that campus.

To be clear: today's ruling doesn't make it less likely your child is trans, which is the whole objective of the anti-trans movement: fewer trans children by any means. It only makes it far less likely your child has access to lifesaving medical care if they're trans, which has never been a choice.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.
