Governor J.B. Pritzker:

“We’re a nation mostly of immigrants — that is who we are fundamentally at our core. We ought to always be that, it’s what’s made our country great — Immigrants are the most entrepreneurial. Immigrants are the most grateful & patriotic”

Disgusting. What an embarrassment. This guy is the poster child of white privilege, and he’s a conservative Republican.
Why would the NYT publish such hateful garbage? Why elevate this man with a history of writing anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian hate?

Again, using a tragedy to promote extremism, hate, and justify Israel's genocide.

Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir's statement that the “Yellow Line” dividing Gaza will be Israel's new border shows that Israel's Gaza policy is a continuation of its history of redrawing its borders through ethnic cleansing and land grabs.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

It's amazing that an unarmed man stopped one of the Bondi Beach shooters, preventing the attack from being even worse.

And it's sad how many feel compelled to note that the hero is Muslim, countering way-too-prevalent bigotry that says hero/villain is inherent to ethno-religious identity.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.

He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.

He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

Excellent idea. Food, shelter, vet/medical expenses, training, toys, boarding…definitely should be valued as a dependent. 👇

There isn't even a reason behind American gun massacres. Not a turf war, drugs, politically motivated, nothing. Just some random person who didn't get enough attention shooting people in defenseless situations.
