Applaud Jimmy Kimmel for Standing Up to Trump

This holiday season, Jimmy Kimmel used his voice — and a Christmas cardigan — to deliver a message that matters. In an “alternative Christmas message” broadcast to millions on Britain’s Channel 4, Kimmel spoke candidly about rising authoritarianism in the U.S., defending free speech after facing political pressure and a brief suspension tied to his criticism of Donald Trump and MAGA extremism.

Instead of backing down, Kimmel thanked the millions of people who spoke out and helped bring Jimmy Kimmel Live! back on the air, stronger than ever. His message was simple and powerful: when people stand together, intimidation fails. As Kimmel put it, “We won, the president lost,” and free expression prevailed.

By refusing to be silenced and using humor, honesty, and courage to push back against political bullying, Kimmel reminded us why independent voices matter — especially during moments when democracy is under strain.

Add your name to applaud Jimmy Kimmel for defending free speech, standing up to authoritarian pressure, and proving that speaking truth to power still makes a difference!
