Eid Mubarak to all! 🌙 Aside from the ritual sacrifice part, I always loved Eid growing up — and still do. But a lot of religious-rooted holidays are based on bizarre myths — from Easter (based on the torture, crucifixion, and then zombification of Christ); to Passover (based on God genocidally killing the firstborn child of every Egyptian with the plague but “passing over” the Israelites who put lamb’s blood on their doors); to Eid al Adha, based on a key origin story of all the Abrahamic monotheisms: Abraham has a dream where God speaks to him and commands him to kill his firstborn son. Abraham heads out and tells Isaac (or Ismail for Muslims) to come with. When Abraham is about to kill the kid, at the last minute God sends down the ultimate “LOL-just-kidding!” miracle — the child is replaced with a goat (or sheep, I’m not totally clear on this). I always wondered if that’s why human children are called “kids.” This incident, by the way, is also thought to be where male newborn circumcision originated. God spared the child’s big head for the littler one. Now I’m not sure why this story is so seminally foundational to three major religions — a seemingly insecure God testing the undying loyalty of his subject by asking him to kill his child sounds more like two of my three ex-wives than the Creator of the Patriarch of the Great Monotheisms. But hey, mysterious ways, baby. The fun part of all of this is you can secularize these holidays and really enjoy them however you want to. Passover is delicious, Easter is now all about bunnies and eggs, and Eid al Adha is about dressing up and getting lots of money (if you’re a kid). Very few know the real, violent, and borderline-psychosis-laced history of these rituals, and that’s a huge sign of progress. When we were kids, my brother, the singer-songwriter @zameermusic, was traumatized when we went out and got two goats, which he befriended and loved playing with for several days, only to watch them slaughtered in the backyard on the Holy Day, with all the kids in attendance. I leave you with the song he wrote and recorded — sung to the goat, but also to all of us: instagram.com/reel/DY3ajppN0… #eidmubarak

@aliamjadrizvi Thanks for the wishes. Dude what happened to all the old vanguards of the ex-Muslim community? They turned out even more psychotically Zionist than even Ben Gvir himself.

Michigan families are paying the price for Trump’s illegal war and reckless tariffs. I’m fighting to lower costs, create good-paying jobs, and protect Michigan’s core industries from Trump’s chaotic agenda.

@kajakallas Your side started the war and all you are doing is spewing talking points from Trump and your master, Netenyahu. You are a reflection of the weak point of cowardice that Europe has become.

The Strait of Hormuz remains caught in a dangerous grey zone between war and peace. There is now a tenuous diplomatic push to extend the ceasefire and reopen the strait. Any first phase agreement between the U.S. and Iran must be followed by deeper talks about the nuclear stockpile, and other critical issues for regional security. The EU can contribute with technical expertise. The EU is also helping to protect the freedom of navigation in the region, including through our operation Aspides. We have already reinforced the mission with more ships. My press remarks following today’s meeting of EU Foreign Ministers ↓
