Weekend Update! Free Speech is Freedom @ Irvine City Hall and more (9/27-9/28, 2025)
What to know this weekend
Dear neighbors,
Disney has given in to consumer pressure (that’s OUR power!) and reinstated Kimmel, but the fight for free speech isn’t over.
And it doesn’t mean it’s time to renew those Disney+, Hulu and ESPN subscriptions! They’re still itching to complete their purchase of the NFL network and create an even bigger conglomerate. Refuse to open your wallet for them!
