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.

Text Anxiety - Gator Days
Text Anxiety - Gator Days Panel 1 Polly is taking a walk. This is one of her favorite streets with a street sign that says "SIGN". It's a great place to go if you're wishing for a higher power to send you a sign. Unfortunately, Polly has a head full of anxious thoughts. She has been waiting for Gwen to text her back but it has taken longer than usual. Polly (thinking): Gwen still hasn't texted back. Is she angry? Panel 2 Polly's thoughts starts to spiral. She's starting to think she might not be a very good friend. Polly (thinking): Maybe I'm bothering her. Am I bad friend? Should I leave her alone? Panel 3 Polly checks her phone and makes a startling discovery that instantly eliminates all anxiety. Polly (thinking): Oh. I forgot to press send on my last text. Panel 4 Now we see Gwen doing some grocery shopping. She's near the produce where we can see a lot of colorful and ideally edible plants for sale. There are "Perfect" CHIVES for sale as well as orange sticks, round brown things, big and green things, and red stuff labelled "RED!!!!!!!!!!". There's also shelf standard store favorites like "Box of Food", "Can of Drink", "FOMO", and "Sold out". It's the usual grocery store stuff. Gwen is also currently feeling relieved. Gwen (thinking): Polly texted! I thought she was mad at me.

No Children (Part 1) - Gator Days
No Children (Part 1) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Iris is busy working when August pops into her office. August: IRIS! I need a favor. Iris: You're not supposed to be here today. Panel 2 August looks a little desperate and seems to be in a real bind. Iris knows he wouldn't ask for help unless he truly needs it. August: I was called in for an emergency. I need help and you're the only one I trust. Iris: Fine. Panel 3 August has left his son, Gustopher. Iris regrets everything. Gustopher is looking around with curiosity. There's not a whole lot to see. In the back is a poster with an angry cat hanging onto a rope. The the poster says "HANG IN THERE AND GET REVENGE".

Thank You (Part 2/2) - Gator Days
Thank You (Part 2/2) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gwen is in the kitchen making dinner for her brothers and father. Her mother is probably going to be home late again. She's chopping up something green. Everyone knows that a proper meal has to have something green in it. It's science or something. Gwen's youngest brother comes in to see what she's doing. Tanner: Are you making dinner? Gwen: Yeah. Tanner: You must like to cook. Panel 2 Gwen keeps on chopping but responds honestly to her brother. The microwave in the back says "ERROR". It still works but no one knows how to make it stop saying "ERROR". Gwen: If Mom or Dad won't do it then someone has to. Panel 3 Tanner: Oh... I'm glad you do. Thank you. Gwen stops chopping for a moment. Tanner's words mean a lot to her. Panel 4 Gwen: Thanks, Tanner. Tanner: But I didn't do anything. Gwen: You're kind. That's something. Life is difficult. Life is unfair. But Gwen feels the appreciation from her brother and that makes it a little better.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
