Wake up, Los Angeles. We are all Jimmy Kimmel
Comic books for a long time in the forefront of democracy, the canary in the cat’s mouth, Looney Tunes StyleWhen it comes to free conversation by swallowing by registration politics.
So Jimmy Kimmel is in a good company, but he may not like this historical party: ZERO MOSTEL; Philip Loeb; After being watched by the FBI and the back room, even Lenny Bruce, who claims to be less comic books and more “Surgeon with a scalpel for wrong values.”
In the 1950s, during the period of McCarthism (yes, I know Bruce’s troubles came later), America made fun of who we wanted, how we wanted, and we survived – we survived. Even lives disappeared.
Maybe we’re not at a new point yet Committee of Activities No Home AssemblyBut the moment feels terrible.
Wake up, Los Angeles. This is not a Jimmy Kimmel problem. This is a Los Angeles problem.
This is about punishing people who speak. The opposition is about silence. It is about abuse of government to pursue enemies. You don’t have to participate in Kimmel’s politics to see where this is going.
For a while, during Trump 2.0, the anger of the right was generally directed towards California and especially San Francisco, with the drug culture, it clearly made the LBGTQ+ Ethos and Pelosi-Newsom political dynasty a perfect example of the failures of society.
But indeed, the difficulty of hating San Francisco is that he doesn’t care. It has been accepted for a long time, even a flashy city, America’s discomfort with it. For this reason, the famous newspaper columnist Heb Caen called the town’s foreign status more than 80 years ago, when it was completely embraced by Baghdad by Baghdad ”.
Los Angeles never saw himself as a problem. Mostly, we have been caught in our own lives by surviving or trying to think about what others think about our scattered, lively, complex city. In addition, Angelenos does not think of themselves as a singular identity. There are one million different LAS for more than 9 million people living in our spread district.
But according to the rest of America, La is an increasing fact, as San Francisco does, a place that embodies everything that is wrong for a particular slice of American right.
President Trump did not have to choose La as the first stop for the National Guard tour, or ICE’s wick patrols did not have to be on our streets. As we know, it is not bad luck or even bad decisions that push UCLA to destroy.
And it’s not what Kimmel’s withdrawal about Charlie Kirk, because this fact was far from being the most aggressive on both sides of the political spectrum.
In fact, he did not speak about Kirk, but allegedly claimed and immediately after, how he had an endless speculation about his political beliefs. It turns out that Kimmel implies that the suspect is conservative, but we will all have to wait until the hearing to fully understand the evidence.
“Maga Gang [is] Charlie Kirk, who killed Kirk as something other than them, is doing everything they can desperately characterize this child and get political points. ”
You may support what Kimel says or be deeply uncomfortable. However, it is rich for people who say that only a few years ago, the Liberal “Cancellation Culture ği ruined America to adopt the same tactics.
If you need evidence that this is about more control than content, Trump does not appear more than the social media post on the issue, which encourages the landlords to ignite the landlords late at night, which gives the NBC directly from the excavations in the president.
“Kimmel has zero ability and worse ratings than Colbert. Trump wrote.
This is the famous icons that dare to make an example to the most vivid and inclusive city of America – like jokes, giving better example than how freedom looks.
If a kimmel can fall so easily, what does Hannah Einbinder’s career, who shouts a “free Palestine in Emmys? Will there be a silent fear of hiring him?
What does it mean to a union leader? David Huerta, who is still facing charges After being detained in a migration protest? Will people think twice before they join a show?
What does it mean to you? Yolar living in width and containing life. It has broken the boundaries of traditional society about who created your own way, forms your own way, who will love, which country you will call to yourself, how you think your identity or feed your soul.
You, Los Angeles, California, through your dreams and everything through your attitude, everything that needs to be crushed is a living embodied.
I don’t try to send you to a spiral of concern, but it is important to understand what we will lose if civil rights continue to wear.
Kimmel’s speech is censored, the recovery and detention of our immigrant neighbors in the league; The federal government is financially pressing to quit care for transsexual patients, and the University of California is forced to transfer the names of staff and students in which they may be beef.
Being sweeping by ICE may seem very different from a millionaire who lost its show, but the arming of the whole government against the people.
Donald Trump, who took action against Kimmel, was not Disney. However, Federal Communication Commission President Brendan Carr, ABC, White House Washington, Oakland, and many other blue cities of La’nın at the top of the list is not very similar to the way to “act” threatens to “act”.
Our Black Mayor. Our Latin Senator and our representatives. 1 million inhabitants. Approximately 10% of the adult population is defined as LGBTQ+. Our comic books, musicians, actors and writers, who have been pushing the world for a long time to see the world in new, often difficult ways.
Many of us are here because the other places didn’t want us, he didn’t understand us, he tried to keep us back. (Now I’m in Sacramento, but I’m staying in his heart as an angeleno.) We came here to California and Los Angeles, for the protection of the state and the city.
But now it needs to protect.
However, this attack on democracy is coming, we are all Jimmy Kimmel – we are all at risk. The nature of this place is under siege, and it is our best defense to stand together on many fronts of these attacks.
It is critical to see that they all have an attack – against a celebrity, a car washing worker or the entire city.
Recently, former President Obama said, “Our democracy does not run itself,” he said. “This is dependent on all of us as a citizen to stand up and fight for the basic values that make this country jealousy, regardless of our political relations.”
Here we are, La, suddenly, at a time, requires insight, stood up and needs to say the most ridiculous thing in a town full of nonsense:
I’m Jimmy Kimmel and I will not be silent.
