This Onion flooded its homepage with the same headline in the wake of the latest school massacre and it’s devastatingly powerful

Following the latest school massacre in America the satirical news website the Onion published a now grimly familiar headline.

But it didn’t just do that. It flooded its homepage with every one of the 21 times it has published the same headline since 2014 – each time about a different tragedy – and did the same with a thread on Twitter.

And it’s a heartbreaking, infuriating, devastatingly powerful read.

Here’s what the homepage looked like.

And that Twitter thread in full.
