protests
Beloved children’s author Lemony Snicket has visited the Occupy Wall Street protest and wrote up a list of observations that will hopefully chill those within the executive suites looking down upon Zuccotti Park. Here are three of those observations: Historically, a story about people inside impressive buildings ignoring or even taunting people standing outside shouting [...]
A lot of people have watched the shocking video of people being locked into the LaGuardia Place Citibank branch while some thug undercover cop wrestled away a nice young lady in a business suit who was apparently arriving at her bank to close her checking account in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Meaghan [...]
Who won the occupation of Milwaukee today? Not Scott Walker, who is probably crying into his Just For Men bucket today as the scary voters/liberals/workers/people once again scare the kleptocrats. The winners of the Milwaukee Occupation are right here! [Thanks to Wonkette commenter YerMa]
Be patient through the first 90 seconds — haha, attention span of a gnat! — because a remarkable little drama unfolds with protesters inside the Citibank branch communicating with protesters outside, all very reserved, collecting names and birthdates of the people about to be arrested inside. And then, brutish cops seize a woman in a [...]
Hooray, the gazillionaires are too scared to bomb all the middle-class/working-class protesters with CIA drones, yet. And that means tomorrow, the Day of Action of October 15, should be very fun for everyone. Bring the kids, roll grandma around in her hybrid Hoveround, etc. As you can see, famous street artist Shepard Fairey is no [...]
Wonkette special correspondent Riley Waggaman is like the child you threw out and then, years later, kind of felt bad about. What ever happened to him? Well, after a triumphant week or two of posting dispatches from the Occupy Wall Street campout, Riley had to hitchhike back to New Hampshire for some other kind of [...]
Wall Street billionaire Michael Bloomberg has been nervously “playing nice” with the Occupy Wall Street movement for a month now, because he honestly fears an Egypt-style national uprising in America that will end with most of the Wall Street plutocrats’ heads on pikes. He is correct to fear this, of course — you can only [...]
Have you been missing Riley Waggaman’s Wonkette dispatches from the Occupation? So have we! But while we await his return to Zuccotti Park/Liberty Square/Freedom Fry-T-Mobile Arena, here is a program we think you will enjoy. It’s The Story, a good topical show from American Public Media, and Riley is the featured debt-ridden unemployed vagrant/visionary. Here’s [...]
Who is this heroic gal who stepped foot into the class war mob scene of the communist French Revolution and escaped with her head? What kind of nonsense is she spouting? Send her home to listen to Rush Limbaugh with the plumbing contractors who struggle to make $65,000 a year and think they’re Warren Buffett [...]
Here’s what’s going on in DC today: The ongoing Occupy DC protest at McPherson Square is still ongoing, so stop by and say hi and whatever, and also the long-planned “Stop the Machine” rally against TEN YEARS OF WAR IN AFGHANISTAN is also going, and going big. Here’s a live feed NOW CORRECTED WITH A [...]
For six days straight, Bank of America’s websites have been hammered. Across this struggling nation, people couldn’t get online to pay their bills or attempt to balance their shrinking balances. BofA offered no explanation for this, for six long days as its customers tried to access their financial accounts immediately after BofA announced an evil [...]

Pareene, what are you doing over at Salon these days? Oh you are writing crazy common-sense proposals like this: So my immodest proposal is simply this: Individuals and households in the bottom 99 percent who owe debt to any large financial institution that received federal government support during and after the 2008 crisis should see [...]
The hundreds of hardcore Occupy Wall Street protesters are getting a whole bunch of new moral and physical support support starting today, as all kinds of big unions and professional liberal groups finally start showing up. The AP reports: The protests on Wall Street, the fabled center of American commerce, are expected to swell with [...]
Establishment Apologist Provides Ocupados With Addresses of *Other* NYC Finance HQs Needing Protests
Somebody writing at the Tina Brown Newsweek doesn’t care for those Occupy Wall Street protesters, not at all. He knows, from his professor job at Yale and writing books about how people should be religious, that there’s no evil group of rich kleptocrats running the economy and the government to their advantage. What a wacky [...]
