BREAKING: Two terrorists opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Sydney, killing at least 11 people and wounding 29 others. This video shows the moment 43-year-old Ahmad El Ahmad, an unarmed civilian, tackled one of the terrorists, seized his weapon, and neutralized him.

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.

Adm. Alvin Holsey: “I’m reminded that in life, we don’t remember days, we remember moments. Those we lead don’t follow titles, they follow courage, and they remember the moments and how you made them feel. They remember those who listen and treated them with dignity and respect.”

A Canadian manufacturer, Roshel, recently agreed to sell 20 armored vehicles to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE. The deal, which will cost US taxpayers an estimated $7.2 million, has raised alarm among some legislators and anti-war advocates who cite ICE’s shameless human rights abuses.

If boosting brain health wasn’t on your list of reasons to get the shingles vaccine, it might be now. A new study finds lower risk in dementia death and a reduction in cognitive impairment among vaccinated folks. 💉 🧠

Rumors are flying around and spilling into public commentary by government officials that Trump is taking the drug Leqembi. It’s an Alzheimer’s drug. Due to its high cost (about US$26,000 per year), lecanemab was not included for coverage in the Canadian public health system.

Thanks to Zeteo for this reminder: “Thursday, Dec.11: A Milwaukee judge accused of helping an immigrant evade Trump-era deportations is scheduled to face trial on charges of obstruction and abuse of office.”

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

Zelenskyy in Downing Street for peace plan talks as Merz says Germany ‘sceptical’ about some US proposals. NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

I won’t preface this analysis of Trump’s national security policy with a quote from its content. And that’s because it contains far more important info about what it means and its implications for the US than i can fit in this small space. I can only say, “This is a must see video!”

A very interesting (and surprisingly aggressive) stance by the city of Minneapolis to restrict ICE operations as articulated by the Chief of Police. youtu.be/Xbpxxw9pxNs?...

Donald Trump may walk away from the Ukrainian war, the US president’s oldest son has said in comments to a Middle East conference. Donald Trump Jr also said Ukraine’s “corrupt” rich had fled their country leaving “what they believed to be the peasant class” to fight the war.

This is a great list (and don't forget Marisa herself).

A police chief? Doing something good?

Pessimistic cynicism isn't a virtue. Loftily stating that you're no longer shocked by shocking things and looking down on those who are doesn't make you a good or enlightened person. It makes you a condescending, grandstanding ass.

Somali American U.S. citizen grabbed & detained by Trump’s ICE goons for 24 hours, “sexually assaulted her and said what could you be hiding under your hijab?”

The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States of America is the stake in the heart of the U.S. and a frightening change in our position in the world. Yes, it’s that bad.

Oregon’s largest teachers’ union will host several statewide trainings meant to teach school staff, families and community members how to keep students and families safe under increasingly aggressive federal immigration enforcement actions taking place near schools.

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions. We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

Today in Both Sides Are Bad, Actually (and they are):

Sen Rand Paul: “[I]f the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.” Dear Sen Paul, You have it backwards. It’s Congress that isn’t interested enough to stop this!

Every time someone’s rights are violated in Washington State by masked ICE thugs, you can blame @governorferguson.bsky.social and every other elected official who refuse to do more that complain about the the bad things happening and continue on with the status quo. I know I do.

Macron reportedly warned European leaders that the US will betray Ukraine - Poland PM has urgent information concerning state security - Belgian PM says it's 'illusion' to think Russia could lose Ukraine war. Are European leaders finally waking up to Trump?
