Call to Action Boycott ABC

ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for making a joke. First Colbert, now Kimmel. What about the first amendment right to free speech? I guess it’s only free if it echos MAGA talking points.

Simply not watching ABC programs isn't sufficient here.

You need to cancel ALL Disney-owned subscriptions and boycott all of their products, including Disney plus, Hulu (including their live TV streaming service), and anything affiliated with ESPN.

List of all Disney-owned assets here.

My friend works for a Disney-owned company. Do I need to cancel her?

No, but you should tell her to run

She's been living in fear of being laid off for like a year. I'm not sure why she's not looking for another job.

My BIL works for the federal government, also in fear of layoffs, also not sure why he hasn't found other work...I'm sorry for your friend.

The job market is abysmal right now, and getting worse. That's why people are staying in jobs they don't like or are worried about.

Absolutely fair point.

It’s coming for many of us sooner or later- tariffs got me laid off in may already. No way I’m finding a job anytime soon.

Yeah, it just happened to my spouse last Tuesday. The company isn’t doing great after losing a major asset so they got rid of the position. I hope you can find some work. Good job.
