Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on air. Sinclair & Nexstar are blocking him. These are state-licensed stations funded by ads, not Disney. Pressure advertisers, file FCC complaints, and push back on corporate censorship. #FreeSpeech #NoKings #Kimmel
Heads up: Disney/ABC put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, but many viewers still can’t see him. Why? Because Sinclair and Nexstar, which own a huge number of local ABC affiliates, are blocking his return.

Sinclair is demanding an apology and even a donation. Nexstar says it “wants assurances.” These are not private streaming choices. These are state-licensed stations that depend on local ad dollars, and they are using their gatekeeping power for political leverage.

👉 What you can do:
	1.	Check your local station. See if it is owned by Sinclair or Nexstar.
	2.	Watch the ads. Write down which brands are keeping these stations afloat.
	3.	Pressure advertisers. Let them know their dollars are funding censorship.
	4.	File a complaint with the FCC. These stations are supposed to serve the public interest, not political agendas.

Remember: Disney does not control your local affiliate. Sinclair and Nexstar do. Advertisers are what keep them alive.

This is not just about one late-night host. It is about whether powerful corporations can silence national programming for political reasons.

Feminist Legal Studies @flsjournal.bsky.social · 22/09/2025
📣🏳️‍⚧️ Call for Papers We are inviting papers for our special issue, “Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope.” The issue will be dedicated to trans-inclusive feminist legal analysis that addresses attacks on trans rights & lives. Details below. Please share.
Call for Papers: Special Issue of Feminist Legal Studies 

Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope

Amidst continuing backlash against trans rights, recognition and inclusion, two recent decisions from the UK have substantially impacted not only trans people’s legal status but also legal and social narratives of sex, gender and identity. The narrative that trans inclusion has a chilling effect on the rights of others, particularly women, has been adopted uncritically by both the UK Supreme Court in For Women Scotland and the Office for Students in its finding that the University of Sussex’s trans-inclusion policy had a chilling effect on free speech. These cases highlight a backlash that has been ongoing for some time, and sparks debates and fear of what may lie in the near future for trans people and kin, as well as other gender-variant persons, not only in the UK, but across jurisdictions and in a global perspective. The discourse of the ‘gender critical’ movement is splintering both the feminist and LGBT+ movements globally, with some aligning politically with the Far- and Christian Right against trans rights, adopting their terminology of ‘gender ideology’ and potentially posing a wider threat to sexual and reproductive rights.  

While this a difficult situation for trans people, kin and allies, this special issue seeks to emphasise that legal battles – including battles (temporarily) lost – are also an opportunity to seek to reinforce old alliances and to form new ones, to find new legal frontiers and imaginaries, to reinforce the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of legal arguments as well as intergenerational memory of what feminist legal work is, has been and should be about. How, we ask, do these decisions (and those like them globally) reflect and reproduce structures of coloniality, heteronormativity and cisnormativity? What do these decisions add to critiques of legal feminism? What would be construct…
