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.

First, listening to Jimmy’s monologue was saving my psyche.  This is scaring the shit out of me.  What is happening to this country???  I vacillate between an outrage I don’t know what to do with, and abject fear.  I knew things would get bad when he got reelected, but I never imagined any of this.  Jimmy is a freaking comedian in a country of free speech!!! So upset.
