@OccupyWallStNYC Can you evict a fake idea? Can you fake-evict an idea? Can the occupiers at the perimeter move to arrest the NYPD inside?

seriously this is making my entire life

Livestreamer: "Are these barricades yours or the sets?" NYPD: "I don't even know. They don't look like ours. I don't know."

robin is going home in boston--she would not go home if she didn't think boston was safe

boston is safe

http://bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/2011_1207why_meninos_wary_of_ousting_occupiers/

this is actually kind of insightful from the boston herald (!):

“(The mayor) expects the judge to come down his way on this,” the source explained. “And when she does, he’ll do nothing. At least not right away.

“He obviously expects the weather to get brutal soon. And that will make it harder and harder for them to stay, especially with the ban on any winter tents.”

So, exasperated though he may be, Menino will wait on a judge and then wait for winter to start feeling like winter.

also having lived in boston for as long as i did, i wouldn't put it past menino/the bpd to make a big spectacle of themselves even if the simpler thing to do WOULD just be to wait for the students to clear out for the holidays and take a bunch of occupiers with them (as the article alludes to, the bpd have also had some pretty prominent, erm, crowd control issues over the past decade or so)

my boys at the portland occupier are liveblogging

http://www.portlandoccupier.org/2011/12/12/liveblog-d12/

the port of oakland is closed

also hearing reports via cnn that portland is shut down

@qwmagazine
haha, the people arrested for tweeting are now chanting "whose tweets? our tweets." form inside the van. #d12 #ows

A+

gonna get some live reports myself here in an hour or so and put 'em on the radio.

Occupy PORTLAND has shut down Terminal 6. - Port spokesman Josh Thomas confirms port is basically shut down for the day

cops (somewhere on the west coast, too fast for me to figure this out atm) are bringing in dogs, calling for dispersal of illegal assembly "in the name of the people of california"

which people, i wonder

ows is taking over the brookfield lobby! diceytroop tags "#BONUSROUND" lol

what are yr thoughts on the port blocking thing btw hoos? i am out of the loop (& don't really know what's going on wrt this port) but thought i remembered you being sorta unsure about it on here somewhere upthread.

i was and am unsure about it tbh

but then again when the cops start arresting people with cameras who don't have "official journalist credentials" i'm kinda down for whatever

we've traced the ows livestream

its coming from INSIDE THE PADDYWAGON AHHH

portland are a whole gang of badasses

Oakland officially shut down as of 10:29 a.m.

ugh do I even bother engaging with sub-intelligent "friends" on fb/twitter saying shit like "you can't protest a business like a port, you just can't" and "why do they protest against longshoremen, who they say they support"

ffs

I'd link them to this

In re: the Luntz thing from a coupla weeks ago, George Lakoff wrote a thing saying not to fall into his trap:

http://www.truth-out.org/words-dont-work/1323270276

i just wrote a rhyming press release for an action outside a GOP xmas party in the style of "twas the night before christmas" that rhymed "republican staff" with "wall st gold calf."

what is my life.

based on the number of "where do we go from here" thinkpieces showing up online and being written by nutjobs & sent to our ~official~ accounts (including a whole series sent by a guy which begin FOCUS, OCCUPY, ITS TIME TO FOCUS) i feel like we're entering the "but have you ever ~really~ looked at the back of a dollar bill" phase

CNN Headline News coverage of Occupy Ports is all why do they protest against longshoremen, who they say they support"
