Right-wingers *love* "cancel culture" when they're the ones doing it.
Sucker Punch artist Drew Harrison reportedly fired over a controversial post about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Despite losing her job, she stands firm against fascism, stating she'd do it all over again.
Her work will still feature in the upcoming 'Ghost of Yotei.'

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.
This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.
Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

California voters ratified a constitutional amendment protecting gender identity this past election. This blatantly violates it.
Holy shit - Gavin Newsom has clarified that this goes even further.
The transgender runner will compete "in her own category."
California is basically instituting a sports ban.
