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.

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

"The Trump administration is openly stating its willingness to condemn millions of people to civic and social death on multiple fronts...The dead, after all, have no claim to rights."

On Good Friday, Christians bear witness to the brutality of death-dealing empire. As a Unitarian Universalist, I too, witness and lament.
Good Friday is the story of a man unjustly arrested and rushed to judgment. Diana Butler Bass tells it for our time, using only pictures from the last two weeks, and it hits so heavy

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.

Great crowd on a blustery Saturday afternoon! I couldn’t tell how many people were there from where I was standing. Grateful for all our VT leaders doing the work. Snow, sleet, wind, rain—we show up!

I’m boycotting major businesses including Target, Walmart, and Amazon on Friday, February 28 to send a message that business as usual according to the whims of billionaires doesn’t serve everyday people.

Also boycotting? Make sure to check in at bit.ly/boycottcentral.

If your pastor is trying to preach bravely right now, support her or him.

Up your pledge (to make up anyone threatening to withdraw support) if you have the means.

Tell them that you have their back.

Speak up in defense of bravery and truth.

Pray for the pastor-and your fellow parishioners.

The chances of Trump’s executive order of surviving legal challenges are extremely slim — even with a Supreme Court stacked with conservative justices.

President Trump's executive order is almost certain to be struck down.
