The word “hero” gets thrown around too often, but Ahmed Al Ahmed truly fits the description.

A good guy *without* a gun who put his life on the line preventing further harm and tragedy.

May he recover quickly from his wounds and be treated with the respect he deserves.

My heart is with 🇦🇺.

🤍🙏🏽🕊️
A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.

The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.

He will be fine according to a relative.

When a school shooting happens, Republicans don’t blame the guns — they blame mental health issues.

But now Donald Trump is cutting $1 billion in mental health funding that aimed to stop gun violence in schools.

Make it make sense. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
Trump administration cuts school mental health grants created after shootings
The Education Department discontinued more than $1 billion in grant funding created after mass shootings to address mental health resources at K-12 schools.

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”

Do I have that just about right?

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t.

Insane.
