Sproul RIGHT NOW. Cal students have filled tents up with balloons and have gathered to reclaim Sproul Plaza. Chanting “Whose space? Our space!”

(Sorry these photos are so shitty…I took them in PhotoBooth on my laptop.)

Tents in the sky? You can’t explain that.

If you have 8 minutes, watch this.

If you don’t have 8 minutes, wait until you do.

oh my god THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. he’s maybe a little angry. And this is exactly what I mean about the Seattle protests, and about -all- the protests. MAYOR BLOOMBERG: MASCOT OF OCCUPY WALL STREET.

If I could show this to my dad, I wonder what he’d say. I only hope to some ears these words ring true.

LOL@ “THAT GOD DAMN BATMAN MOVIE!”

GET IT, Keith. No one ever talks about how Bloomberg, mayor of Wall Street, made all of his money on Wall Street. He serves that small section of New York and that small section only.

mohandasgandhi: carton-rouge: 84-year-old Occupy Seattle participant Dorli Rainey, pictured above after being pepper sprayed by Seattle Police on November 15th. She later wrote about the incident: “Something funny happened on my way to a transportation meeting in Northgate. As I got off the bus at 3rd and Pine I heard helicopters above. Knowing that the problems of New York would certainly precipitate action by Occupy Seattle, I thought I better check it out. Especially since only yesterday the City Government made a grandiose gesture to protect free speech. Well free speech does have its limits as I found out as the cops shoved their bicycles into the crowd and simultaneously pepper sprayed the so captured protesters. If it had not been for my Hero (Iraq Vet Caleb) I would have been down on the ground and trampled. This is what democracy looks like. It certainly left an impression on the people who rode the No. 1 bus home with me. In the women’s movement there were signs which said: “Screw us and we multiply.’” 84. That’s all I have to say.

Welcome to the revolution. Our elites have exposed their hand. They have nothing to offer. They can destroy but they cannot build. They can repress but they cannot lead. They can steal but they cannot share. They can talk but they cannot speak. They are as dead and useless to us as the water-soaked books, tents, sleeping bags, suitcases, food boxes and clothes that were tossed by sanitation workers Tuesday morning into garbage trucks in New York City. They have no ideas, no plans and no vision for the future.

Bloomberg: press was kept out reporting on the eviction from Zuccotti park “for their own good”.

I don’t think these words should ever be uttered by any leader of any capacity in a free nation. Also if you didn’t know, those whole property was safely cataloged and taken care of? lmao sure if you count a dumpster as fulfilling that requirement. Not only people’s personal property, but they threw into the dumpster more than 5,000 books they had collected for the library at Liberty park. Also a judge issued a restraining order against the city until a hearing could be completed, saying the protesters had to be let back into Liberty(Zuccotti park), Bloomerberg’s response is to say he can’t be sure if it exists or not, and the cops response was to let no one back into the park despite a restraining order from a judge ordering it. If you think this along with Bloomberg’s position on media rights is pretty fucked up, and can’t occupy real life, occupy the internet with this message. We are not going away, like in every city we’ll be back in even larger numbers with more donations. Prepare for the Day of Direction action across NYC on Thursday Mr. Bloomberg (via oceanicsteam)

And how does this explain the grounding of news helicopters?

No right is absolute

our fucking stupid mayor

I think it becomes obvious when the attempts at justification are put forward for the State’s violence/brutality and suppression, when Jean Quan or Bloomberg try to excuse the mountains of bullshit, you see how thin all the smoke and mirrors have gotten.
