Tien, 27, has been on hunger strike for 11 days. He and hundreds of others of Extinction Rebellion climate activists worldwide began fasting on November 17. Most people have stopped, but Tien is still not eating.
“I desperately want to eat, but I would rather have a future,” he wrote in the Guardian. So far, he’s lost 12 pounds.
Last week, Tien and other U.S. Extinction Rebellion hunger strikers occupied House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s outer office on the Capitol, demanding a meeting about Congress’ plans for environmental action. She barely acknowledged them—granted, she was likely consumed by last week’s buzzy impeachment hearings—so they decided to take more drastic measures. On the fourth day of their fast, Tien and nine others occupied stormed into the part of her office where the chief of staff and other aids sit only to be arrested by Capitol Police for unlawful entry. A picture in the Washington Post about the arrests shows Tien with his wrists zip-tied, smiling as a cop whisks him away.

If he starves to death he will have ensured that the world survives 0.000000000002 seconds longer than otherwise would have been the case.
I’d love to eat a rotisserie chicken right in front of him while wearing my MAGA hat and hoodie.
Let’s encourage Antifa members and the left-wing members of Congress to join in on fasting. More food for the rest of us, and less problems when they expire. Why wait 11.19 years, they can get an early start.
Boy is Tien going to feel like a fool when the world doesn’t end.
Is this guy a Chinese Spy ?
Best wishes to the young person and all that.
12 pounds in 11 days? He should get his own cable channel. I bet even Oprah and the Mooch would watch.
Who was it that said there’s a sucker born every minute? This proves it.
If they fast long enough, they will extinct themselves
There is a night club near me. Today I passed by and read a sign that said they will be charging a higher entrance fee to off-set their carbon footprint.
I pointed to it told my wife: It will cost more to drink alcohol, smoke dope and have sex in the bathrooms - to save the planet.
This is the positive message that Democrats are foisting onto the public. Carbon is a pollutant. All life is carbon-based. Therefore you are a pollutant.
I can take a picture, tomorrow I am passing there again.
If everyone who believes that CO2 is a dangerous pollutant and a threat simply stopped exhaling CO2 the problem could be solved overnight.
Don't worry, bro! I'll eat for you! You just keep on fighting!
We’re all gonna die in 11 years! Why fast??
I hope all these morons hunger strike to the death.
Are we talking Bobby Sands here, or just refusing to eat food until the evening?
