"On Monday, after consulting with medical professionals, 10 students at Occidental College launched a hunger strike, hoping to draw attention to their long-standing demands for the college to divest from weapons manufacturers with ties to Israel as the war in Gaza continues.

"And in this new season of protest, they have tacked on additional demands, calling on Occidental to bolster protections for international students amid the Trump administration’s sweeping efforts to revoke the visas of students whose activities it deems counter to national interests, in some cases targeting students who have protested Israel’s war on Gaza."

Oil corporations making record profits ready to end democracy for more money.
"Biden wants to eliminate the tax breaks, which include long-standing incentives to help drill for oil and gas, with a recent White House budget proposal targeting $35bn in domestic subsidies and $75bn in overseas fossil fuel income."
