What a great thread! Thank you!

95 Democrats chose to honor the man who said all of this, and this is just the appetizer. Ask them, "Why?" Ask them why your lives don't matter to them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A "South Park" episode was taken off air, a DC comic series was canceled, and several artists were fired in the aftermath of the shooting.

So @dc.com pulled Red Hood from digital storefronts but you can still buy all of Sandman. The lesson here is that DC doesn't care if you sexually assault women, but don't you dare make fun of a dead fascist.
