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.

It would be fun if all globalists and Antifa terrorists would fast for as long as President Trump is in office. They could reduce their carbon footprint to zero, among other benefits to the world.
