Amin Abdullah stopped the two mass shooters yesterday who were planning on going into a school and daycare in San Diego.
“He didn’t run. In plain words: Amin put himself between the gunmen and everyone inside.”
He leaves a family of 8 children behind.
Hero.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
Hannah Einbinder says Hollywood not speaking out in support of Palestine "pisses me off" and they "need these issues to affect a white person for them" to care.
“I look at these people who have absolutely every privilege imaginable to mankind and they cannot utter a single word. I really can’t understand it... People in Hollywood, unfortunately, need these issues to affect a white person for them to see it as relating to them,” she noted. “Like, they see Jimmy Kimmel getting taken off the air suddenly, they see Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled by CBS, which is owned by the Ellisons, and they go, ‘How could this possibly happen?’ And it’s like, we know how because we saw students and professors and journalists and authors and Palestinian folks be silenced and fired and expelled and imprisoned… it took it happening to these white men for people to be like, ‘Oh my god.’”

Professor Derek R. Peterson, a University of Michigan historian and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, thanked “pro-Palestinian student activists” during a graduation speech today, for “opening our hearts to the injustices and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza.”
Peterson teaches history and African studies at the University of Michigan, where he also became chair of the faculty senate in 2025.
Theo Von: “I have a lot of discomfort with America's relationship with Israel.”
“I believe that group is, it just feels like a satanic regime. It feels like they just want to cause pain.”
“They don't even know where all the bodies from Gaza are and they've already moved on to other places that they are attacking and America is associated with their attacks.”
“I don't believe the Israeli leaders have any intention to stop that or they have any care for the American people.”
“If we don't speak up now our children won't have the chance to speak up…either by law or worse.”
