SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

No apology from Disney or Kimmel. Good. people.com/jimmy-kimmel...

"Since Disney has opted to join the growing list of media conglomerates capitulating to the Trump regime, my family has opted to cancel our subscriptions to Disney+ and its sister platform Hulu," writes @melissaryan.bsky.social for Ctrl Alt Right Delete.

Thank you @jamellebouie.net. I needed this today.

Mamdani continues to be such an impressive candidate and human.

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Step one: Cancel your Disney+ subscription. Step two: Build collective power so we can wield it against the Trump regime. I've got some suggestions and resources for your next steps. www.altrightdelete.news/p/for-real-l...

Don't capitulate to fascists and then you don't have to worry about celebrities commenting on how you capitulated to fascists on the red carpet.

What's striking about #boycottDisneyABC is the number of parents with young children and die-hard Disney fans canceling Disney+ and calling for boycotts. Long-term, Disney won't survive without these two groups. It's their core business.

Meanwhile Trump is publicly berating his AG for not prosecuting his political enemies. Because they're not even trying to hide the agenda anymore.

When your class warfare annoyance over someone's 150K wedding is immediately replaced by your respect for someone choosing to take their 150K wedding budget elsewhere.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Always great to see @melissaryan.bsky.social and @aexia.bsky.social out here #boycottdisneyabc #boycottdisneyabc

The fact that these people are this upset over chalk drawings tells you how easily they’ll cave when faced with actual mass resistance. Bullies fold when you stand up to them. www.arlnow.com/2025/09/19/c...

If you think the answer to building a bigger tent is to alienate pro-choice voters, you clearly don't know how to read polling or election results.

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

My family's sign game is no joke! #boycottDisney

Trump's EO's should just include a Venmo link so that CEOs can immediately put in their bribes.

If you want to understand where America is right now, how we got here, and what to do now, this interview with Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist Maria Ressa is a must-watch. youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

The thing missing from this @semafor.com reporting is any mention of how those boots taste

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

I'm baffled by the short-sighted strategy of coming for the current roster of late-night hosts. These guys don't need the paycheck, and you won't silence them. They'll just move over to the platforms where young people actually are now. Plus, they'll have time on their hands and an axe to grind.

Fun to think about who can't have paying jobs in establishment media right now (e.g., Karen Attiah, Terry Moran) and the people who can.

My non-work project this morning is figuring out alternative ways for my kids to stream Bluey. Since we'll be canceling our Disney+ subscription now. I know I'm not the only parent doing this.

I just cancelled Disney+ and paid about $150 to purchase every single episode of Bluey from another streaming platform. TBH Blue is 75% of the television my family watches anyway.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I thought it might be difficult to cancel Disney+ and Hulu since we get them through Verizon, but it turned out to be easy. Took less than a minute.

DVDs?

SAME. I have been doing this too.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

In @melissaryan.bsky.social's view, this political climate—in which public officials who try to provide transparency are politicized and attacked—is an even bigger obstacle than budget cuts in the fight against false claims. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There's nothing really profound going on here. Trump is leading a fascist takeover. Business and media are for the most part enabling it. We can defeat Trump but we need to be operating at a much bigger scale than we currently are. And the goal has to be to remove him from power. Before 2026.

Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry. Here's a test for all of them. Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march? Or will they both sides it? Lets see.
