This bears repeating.

Israeli hostages' families, who are organising & speaking out in a loud, clear voice now as never before (follow them We Are All Hostages) are repeating this again & again.

Eid al-Adha, one of the biggest Muslim holidays & a traditional feasting time, begins today.

But for many, including in Gaza & Sudan, finding enough food & clean water will be a struggle. Most in Gaza haven't eaten meat for months.

Wishing all a blessed Eid despite the sorrow.

Enter into the happiness, and burst.

This is good. There's strong support for Ukraine in Canada & Europe, paired w/ greater awareness vis-a-vis the States in my experience that undermining institutions designed to punish serial violators of international law actually undermines Ukraine, and 'the West,' more broadly.
