Boston University Professor Nathan Phillips has launched a hunger strike to protest the detention of Rumeysa Ozturk, calling it part of a broader crackdown on free expression and pro-Palestinian advocacy.

The environmental scientist began his strike on April 15, after university officials repeatedly took down a “Free Rumeysa” sign from his office window at the university's downtown campus.

I am in awe of humans who get out of their comfort zone and start talking back to these awful politicians who call themselves "leaders". May humanity win.

We Americans must speak up and demand justice for all the students who are being detained for no reason. They haven’t committed any crimes! FREE ALL THE STUDENTS!

Professor Nathan Phillips is very brave. There's a young Chinese who recently made a video saying that the USA doesn't need tariffs but a revolution. Jack Ma, from Ali Baba, said that the USA has spend dozens of trillions of dollars on wars, and I ask the question for who where these wars fought for??? The Chinese kid was probably right.
