Ethel Kennedy, the 90-year-old widow of Robert F. Kennedy, has joined Alec Baldwin, Evan Rachel Wood, Sen.Elizabeth Warren and more big names in a hunger strike protesting President Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy.

The human rights advocate, along with nearly 50 members of her famous family, will participate in the “Break Bread Not Families” hunger strike, which was organized by activist groups including the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit.

The Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy has resulted in more than 2,300 children being separated from their parents at the border since April. Last week, after intense public pressure, the president signed an executive order reversing his own administration’s policy.

1. Alex could lose a few pounds so I am not as worried about his health

as I am about Ethel Kennedy. She is 90 and should not do this!

2. True.

As Nehru told Gandhi himself during his last hunger strike: "You are not so young anymore."

"Think of what you can do by living, that you cannot do by dying."

3. Why?

I can't see what this will accomplish.
Trump and his minions obviously don't care.
They'd be happy if their opposition starved to death.

6. Exactly!

My 1st thought. The Shitgibbon would happily get rid of them if he could.
