Or how about when when trump was banned from social media?

Megan kelly was fired by nbc....

And tucker carlson was fired from fox news.

How about when jk rowling was blacklisted?

You all have what’s called ‘selective memory’!


None of that is the government. Try again.


Stop spreading misinformation. You know this isn't true. Some abc affiliate started it and ABC as a whole followed suit.


Not misinformation. They were threatened by the FCC. Not going to argue with you about reality. If you want to live in alternative facts land, knock yourself out.

Remember COVID? And all the censorship Biden admin did on social media, etc.? Oh yeah, you don't remember that do you? And don't give me this BS about OMG PANDEMIC!!! SAVING LIVES!!

That's free speech too, you know.


Lies and misinformation are not protected speech. But I too wish they'd just allowed you all to continue drinking bleach.

Was Jimmy Kimmel jailed?!!!?

This is not a freedom of speech violation. Your employer, and in his case ABC, can fire you for misconduct.

The US Government is not the ultimate arbiter of truth. You can say or post a lie about something. It's not free from consequences, but the government isn't going to toss you in the slammer for it.

NO discerning opinion on COVID was allowed, all of that got censored per the Biden admin's doing, but you don't remember that do you???

Trump and the FCC are sending the message loud and clear than any network not complying with the administrations preferences is likely to have things not go their way w/ the FCC. It couldn't be spelled out any more clearly.

The fun thing about fact is that something either is factual or it is not. Not allowing you to spread verifiably false information is not censorship and it is not protected speech.

We have been in lockdown mode before, and we can do it again. Delete meta and X accounts. Cancel Disney+ and Hulu. Stop watching ABC and CBS.

But also, peacefully protest in large numbers everywhere these politicians can be found. Don’t let them go a single day without being surrounded by protesters wherever they go. It needs to be relentless but peaceful.

The mega-wealthy need to step up, including celebrities. They need to stop spending and stop showing up for work too. They are the ones who won’t starve if they stop going to work. They are the ones who would have a stronger impact if they stop spending.

We keep wringing our hands about how horrifying this is, but we aren’t doing anything about it collectively. The No Kings protests are great but not enough.

We don’t have to live like this.


Maybe everybody could hold their breath or stomp their feet until the bad Orange man goes away.

Better yet, everybody crawl under a table, assume the fetal position, & sob until you get enough attention.

Watch Anna Gomez get pushed out or openly fired. She's a Biden appointee and dared to speak out.

Just leave the country. You're not going to manage long without consuming any goods or services, or without working for an income, or without income from investing, so you may as well just go away and see if anyone notices. And, if they do notice, will they care? I doubt it.

Ask conservatives if they were thrilled with 8 years of Obama & 4 years of Autopen. They were not. But they had to play along because that was the system.

Even thousands of years ago, Plato wrote about this in the Crito: if you don’t change the rules or leave the country, you should live within the laws, even when you aren’t pleased with thise laws.

Honestly, a partnership with Hollywood is what we need to get people mobilized. Not because celebrities should speak for us, but because we need to marketing campaign along with organization. Even then, I think it's a really high bar now to get people in the streets.

Trump and his five year tirade about birtherism not to mention the other several thousand outrageous things he's done. You are the one with selective memory.
