Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension from ABC has sparked nationwide backlash and fierce debate over free speech, censorship, and the state of American democracy.

From public outrage to questions about democracy on life support, we dive into what the Jimmy Kimmel suspension really means for America’s future.
