DIRECT ACTIONS to pressure media giants and defend the First Amendment.
1. The RECEIPTS
Corporate media is caving to Trump’s threats. The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! shows exactly how far this regime will go to crush free speech and protect its own power. ABC folded after FCC intimidation and Nexstar’s backroom leverage. That is political censorship, demanded by men who think the Constitution is theirs to shred.
Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr made their threats loud and clear. Disney panicked. Nexstar yanked the show from 32 stations mid-merger. Sinclair now demands Kimmel bow down, apologize, and even funnel money to Kirk’s PAC. The hypocrites who scream about “cancel culture” are running the biggest cancellation of all: canceling dissent.
This fight is not about one comedian. It’s about every journalist, artist, and activist who could be silenced next. If Trump can dictate who gets airtime, no one is safe. The FCC was built to protect speech, not crush it at the whim of authoritarians. What happened to Kimmel, and Colbert before him, is the playbook of dictators, executed with precision. The warning is brutal: speak out, and your platform vanishes.
We cannot sit on the sidelines. Now is the moment to rise up, shout louder, and force the media giants to stand with the people, not the regime. Every voice matters. Every act of defiance matters. If we let them cancel free speech today, tomorrow they cancel democracy itself.
So fight. Flood the airwaves. Call out the networks. Refuse silence. Democracy is not a punchline and we won’t let them write it off the stage.

Republicans say they want to protect the 1st Ammendment but what they are actually saying is they want their views protected and the opposition oppressed.
