ha ha, I already canceled my Hulu Live and Disney+ subscription. I guess they have to raise everyone's prices who stayed on with them. I'll save that $95/mo #cancelDisneyPlus

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Bob Iger is freaking out. Everyone is cancelling their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions. What on earth was he thinking when choosing a fascist president over America's 1st amendment? Love watching Iger sweat! #cancelDisneyPlus #boycottABC

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Hulu Live / Disney+ cancelled after 5 continuous years of subscription. So many other options, don't need to give my money to Disney who dismisses 1st Amendment in favor or an orange cheeto.
