Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

Donald Trump maliciously mocks the brutal murder of Michele & Rob Reiner, and Republicans don’t bat an eye. But as soon as you quote Charlie Kirk’s views, all hell breaks loose.

We are heartbroken by the attack at Bondi Beach that targeted the Jewish community during a Hanukkah celebration, as families gathered to mark a sacred holiday.
