Anyone asking to speak with “the leader” is a cop.
What do you mean "Oakland" voted for a general strike? The Oakland occupation or the unions who would be carrying the strike out?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - I mean the General Assembly of Occupy Oakland voted for a general strike.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in my life, I totally get poetry. I love that guy.
ReplyDeleteThe Oakland video recap was terrific, if not a little horrifying. What the fuck are cops doing packing M-16s?! Love that cat at the 5:13 mark embracing the masked protesters while urging civility.
