Gaza is starving Palestinians seeking food are being killed by the IDF. It's time for the entire world to say enough.

Yesterday, my child and I picked a bounty of ripe raspberries straight off the bushes in our backyard. Such delight. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza are being made to starve and are executed while desperately seeking food. Such cruelty. We must all say ENOUGH.

Showing up in Vermont’s capital for #HandsOff. News outlets are reporting an estimated 10,000 people in a state of around 648,000.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"

This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.

He has some thoughts.
