NEWS Jimmy Kimmel’s return episode was watched by 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV. These numbers are triple his normal viewership, and it’s important to note 23% of households didn’t have access to show due to preemption by Sinclair/Nexstar. Monologue was viewed over 25 million times online.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Two dozen white supremacists are outside the main Disney World entrance in Orlando right now, marching with signs featuring Gov DeSantis’s face, swastikas, the n-word and homophobic slurs.

Not because of LGBTQ+
Not because of Black
Not because of Brown
Not because of Jewish
Not because of Asian
Not because of Abortions
Not because of CRT
Not because of DEI
Not because of Women
Because of the white republican Governor.
True story.
I want the trillion dollar coin to be minted. Put Alexander Hamilton (Lin Manuel Miranda, I call him Manny. We're close.) on the head and the Walt Disney castle on the back. The republicans will plotz. I got a friend who can design it. https://t.co/gU4BCVHw1o

The GOP has no policy agenda that most Americans care about. Attacking Bud, Disney, Nike, the bedrooms & bathrooms crusade, banning books & history classes mean nothing to most. Party is further & further detached from a rapidly changing America. https://t.co/AHsPYQWgsw

It looks like Disney just checkmated Ron DeSantis. The board DeSantis appointed to “oversee” Disney is now complaining that the company used a loophole to strip them of their power until 2053. https://t.co/xCaxdn4QE4

American corporations had better take a long hard look at how Ron DeSantis is punishing Disney before writing that whiney autocratic meatball any campaign checks. What's to stop him from targeting your corporation after he's president?

The same republicans crying about “free speech” are currently trying to cancel Disney for speaking out against the Don’t Say Gay bill.

Ron DeSantis’s war against Disney will saddle taxpayers with $2 BILLION in bond debt
GOP culture wars are killing us and draining our life savings
You really want more of this insanity?!
So desantis fought with the cruise ship companies about vaccine passports and now he’s fighting with Disney about his weird don’t say gay law? Remember when Republicans pretended they were pro business?
