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.

I was today years old when I found out Jeff Buckley’s mother is 1st-gen Panamanian.
I somehow knew he was an hermano from another madre.
Watch IT’S NEVER OVER on HBOMax … it’s a beautiful documentary.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
