“What I’ve been feeling most is just, like, how dare this country allow this to happen to someone like me twice?” Weissman told the New York Times.
"Weissman was in her dorm room at Brown when a friend called to warn her that a shooting was under way. Her initial feelings of panic soon turned to anger, she told NBC. “I’m angry that I thought I’d never have to deal with this again, and here I am eight years later,” Weissman told NBC News."

🚨 Muslim Migrant Hero risked his life to disarm a gunman murdering people at Bondi Beach, and undoubtedly saved lives 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

A headline Far Right anti migrant, Islamophobe Racists will choke on so please repost to share 🙏🏼👍🏼
Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

A true hero.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.

Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.
Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

1. BREAKING

President Trump says he is granting a pardon to Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar and his wife Imelda.

Federal prosecutors said they accepted around $600,000 from an oil-and-gas company wholly owned and controlled by the government of Azerbaijan and a bank in Mexico.

It’s unclear why the prices differ, but a new notice on Target’s website offers a potential hint: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”
Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
A newly enacted New York law requires retailers to say whether your data influences the price of basic goods like a dozen eggs or toilet paper, but not how.

FWIW, all jokes about Trump putting me on a list aside, I can still do my job. That's very different from journalists in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Gaza. A few months ago, an Israeli strike killed Maryam Abu Daqqa, who wrote for my outlet. I'm blessed.
