An occupier's first-hand account of #M17. Whose media? Our media! http://bit.ly/occupy_m17
A first-hand account of #M17, a day of celebration and occupation for Occupy's six month anniversary.
Hundreds turn out for our first spring time GA at Liberty Plaza. Still think occupy is dead?
"The hunt for Joseph Kony is the perfect excuse for US militarisation of oil-rich Uganda."
The video qualifies as irresponsible advocacy by prompting militarisation and detracting from Uganda's real problems.

The big banks have not made any sense to most people for a long time. Nobody believes that they create posterity. By converting police forces and military personnel into renta-cops working for them, they only dig a deeper hole for themselves. By running a candidate as unconsciously comic as Mitt Romney, they risk becoming a laughing stock. The big banks are looking at their demise, but continue to finance the demise of the physical life of the earth. It bizarro world, but it's our world. This revolution must eventually have a design. What is the end-game for this form of economy? The clock is ticking.
Shocking, but not surprising.
The FBI conducted a three-year investigation into a animal-rights and environmental "terrorists" in the Pacific Northwest that devolved into widespread—and seemingly pointless—surveillance of activists for no apparent reason aside from the fact that they were anarchists, or protested the war in Iraq...

In one of my favorite recent episodes, we are joined in-studio by Shawn Shafner of The POOP Project, a cultural undertaking aimed at re-imaging how we relate to our bodies by speaking publicly about the most private of business...you guessed it...poop!

Back before Occupy Wall St. took over Liberty Plaza, London had a riot. In this episode of the show from August 2010 features conversations with two Londoners on the riots (or was it a revolt?) that swept through the UK, and the media’s response to The Big Smoke up in smoke.
Conversations with two Londoners on the riots (or is it a revolt?), the causes (if any), and the media's response to The Big Smoke up in smoke. Very special thanks to our two riotous guests Leah Borromeo and Oonagh Cousins.
This is one of the clearest arguments as to why the Kony 2012 campaign, spearheaded by the MTV-like video that went viral, is extremely problematic. I will share it with all of you, especially those with an urge to buy the "kit" in order to make a difference.
Aid group Invisible Children released a slick and emotive campaign video last week titled Kony 2012. The video went viral in a short amount of time reaching 70m hits in one week helping the organization to raise $5m within 48 hours.Invisible Children founders check up on how their money is being spe...

Including Chris Hedges & Reverend Billy Talen. REVOLUJAH!
Police arrested at least 16 people, including journalist Chris Hedges and performance artist Rev. Billy Talen, during a rally outside the headquarters of Goldman Sachs.
Occupy Wall Street’s Elegant Message
Danny Schecter: "It’s as if the movement won’t be taken seriously by some, unless and until, it enunciates a list of 'demands' and defines itself in a way that can allow others, especially a cynical media, to label and pigeonhole it. (So, it won’t be taken seriously then either.)"
A worthy cause if there ever was one.
Time's Up! New York City's Direct Action Environmental group has been working with Occupy Wall Street since its inception. Recently, they have focused on replacing all the gas generators in Liberty Park with Pedal Power Generators. We currently have one up and running, but need your help to build 11...

Daily Kos: Occupy Oakland, HUGE Reversal of Mayors Policy {Scots Condition UPGRADE to Fair}
As more than 1,000 people descended on Frank H. Ogawa Plaza Wednesday night, Quan called for "a minimum police presence" and said nonviolent protesters would be allowed to re-occupy the area near City Hall. One day earlier, with Quan's authorization, 400 police officers had dismantled the tent city.
'Occupy': A path to non-violent revolution?
In setting up their own self-governing community, protesters echo sentiments from the Seattle general strike in 1919.
And the brutality ensues #ows #occupyoakland

Thank you Oakland PD for helping us grow our movement.
Using tear gas and riot gear, an estimated 200 police conducted early morning raids on Occupy Oakland protesters at Frank Ogawa Plaza on Tuesday. It took all of 30 minutes to clear out the encampment. Oakland Tribune reports, "After police surrounded the plaza about 4:45 a.m., they began moving in a...
....There is a thoughtful hush in the center of the heart-thrumming drum circle. With Occupy Wall Street, we're on this bridge now, an interesting pause, as we fill in blanks about what we've done, and set up connection with 950 outposts. We're in a weightless moment between pure inspiration and the onset of winter, of strategy, and real post-Washington politics.
Sometimes I wonder if Occupy Wall St. is getting too popular for its own good...case in point:
Not long ago MTV put out word that they were looking to cast Occupy Wall Street protesters for the new Real World (they're still looking!). At the time, a rep for the company confirmed with us that it was indeed their Craigslist ad, and they were "targeting young passionate people" for their 27th se...
"We need both kinds of activity. There are things that the NAACP can do because it’s 100 years old, and there are things it can’t do for that very same reason. There are things Occupy Wall Street can do because it is nimble and unknown, but there are things it can’t do for that same reason. A good relationship between social justice organizations and movements requires reorientation from both."
It’s unlikely that anyone knows how to predict when “movement moments” will strike. But the question is how we make the most of them when they come, because you never know how close you are to freedom.
The police don't seem to understand: The more they arrest us, the more powerful we get. Occupy Wall St.
Several reports on Twitter indicate that Chicago ‘occupiers’ are gearing up for a police raid tonight. Watch the livestream below:
In our latest episode, we are joined by "Puru" Shawn Shafner, who heads up The POOP Project, a cultural undertaking aimed at re-imaging how we relate to our bodies by speaking publicly about the most private of business...you guessed it...poop! An interesting listen, we promise!

Looking forward to it.
Mayor Bloomberg has been playing nice with Occupy Wall Street protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park recently— especially since he narrowly avoided political suicide when the forced clearing and cleaning of Zuccotti was cancelled by Brookfield Properties. But Hizzoner doesn't want you to think he's ...
Here's a thought...
“The strikes have shuttered government offices, public services, shops and even bakeries. Taxi drivers walked off the job, as did air-traffic controllers (though they shortened their work stoppage from 48 hours to 12).”
