When we remember the names of Bondi Beach - victims, survivors, perpetrators - let’s remember, too, this hero: Ahmed al-Ahmed.
A Muslim Australian fruit shop owner of Syrian descent, al-Ahmed risked his life & took 2 bullets to save Jewish strangers.

The government has no problem trying to set up a national voter database, so they can track your vote but they bristle at the idea of a national gun registry

We are so messed up

Saying this right now, and I hope many, many people will join me in this:

I will not vote for ANYONE who does not recognize that Israel is an apartheid state committing genocide, and does not have as part of their platform cutting off the US's material support

Democrats, choose better this time

There’s been a mass shooting, now is not the time to talk about gun laws

There’s been a mass shooting, we need to review our already great gun laws

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

🚨Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH.

Jess Michaels and Liz Stein are among a group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors who are demanding accountability. ALL survivors deserve it.
All predators & accomplices deserve consequences.

The Sydney shooting looks like it will result in stricter gun control, as it should.

These are tools designed for the sole purpose of death. The fantasy that a privately owned rifle constitutes resistance to a modern state monopoly on violence is ahistorical, unserious, and politically illiterate.

I was devastated to hear about the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Rob is a generational talent that used his voice to advocate for a better world. We live in a better country because of them. They will be missed.

On Canadian tv if Trump does a press conference they run about 30 seconds then cut away adding “he’s just repeating things he’s been saying for years” that’s what US tv needs to do. Shut him off. He just rambles.

Rob Reiner, at worst, should have won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At best, he should have received an honorary Oscar.

It's possible he turned it down multiple times, but this should be rectified.

Two heartbreaking shootings took place this weekend. One country said “never again!” The other said “welp, just another day in a great country”. There are solutions, the US government just values money over human life. We don’t need guns, people just want guns.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

The Epstein files are scheduled to be released on Friday, per the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

If Trump doesn’t release them fully unredacted then HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED AND ARRESTED!

If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Not only is Donald Trump the worst president this country (and world) has ever seen, he is also one of the worst humans. Says a lot about where half the country (who votes, at least) is, mentally. They should all be deeply ashamed of themselves for allowing this to continue.
