protest movements

Protests embroil NYU, Columbia, other campuses as tensions flare over war in Gaza: Live updates According to the article, a Jewish Columbia faculty member says he was denied entry to campus for his own safety. Columbia University president defends efforts to combat antisemitism Or, the...

The only "protest" event I've ever been to and participated in. Probably more signs and clever slogans than any other event. And not one misspelling in the lot.

Which protestor has a better gripe? This guy? bgec9WX21ik Or this guy? WmEHcOc0Sys Just for the record, I'm not so sure the 2nd guy is an OWS protestor more than he is just a passer-by who got pissed at the cops being typically unprofessional. I will add that the 2nd guy shares my...

Occupy Congress on Jan. 17: ‘Largest Occupy protest ever’ It'll be funny to hear what the naysayers have to say about this. They said OWS shouldn't protest in a park. Well, they aren't in a park anymore... Yes, yes, YES, a thousand times YES.

How do people with no job go on strike? http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/02/us/occupy-demonstrators/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 This pretty much sums it up:

I was in central Wellington last night, and discovered we have a local chapter of the "Occupy" movement camped in a park near the waterfront. The park is just behind the Wellington City Library. It is all very low-key and apparently has the blessing of the local council. Basically, it looks...

Okay, I have two premises Premise 1: I think this Occupy movements are astroturf -- it's just a larger scale and left-wing version of the tea-baggers. How do you confirm this premise?: Premise 2: Astroturfing is being increasingly used as a tool of political control whereby powerful interests...

As far as I know I'm not quoting excessive large lines of text. I am quoting multiple sources, though only small segments. Wikipedia on Zuccotti Park Reuters' Description of Brookfield Properties Reuters' Description of Brookfield Asset Management What I'm wondering is this: Why are...

Rather than knock on them for their many faults. Let's get to the meat of what they should be demanding if they wanted to do something about what they are mad about. End agricultural subsidies. Cut DOD spending 20%. Close corporate tax loopholes. Subsidize state universities to close tuition...

So I can't make it all the way to NY, but luckily there's a protest in both Dallas and Ft. Worth. I've been watching the live streaming video (http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution), and it looks like a lot of fun, at least for an afternoon. I contacted the ground crew in Dallas, and...

http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/chris-hayes-you-cant-be-protester-and So bunch of protesters went to their bank with a sign that said "I AM CLOSING MY BOA ACCOUNT TODAY" to do just that, and the bank refused to allow them to close their accounts. Other than the usual anger, I'm just...

Yeah, when the "occupy things in the name of protesting corporate malfeasance" movement came to my locality they decided to give it a Halloween theme. Thus a Walking Dead meets political activist fusion thing happened. I don't know if I should be proud my locality did it so different or afraid...

NY 'Occupy Wall Street' Protests Evolved from Magazine Appeal So the question is will this fact be used to argue that the movement was caused by foreign sources (even though these foreigners are Canadian) and thus could be considered subversion, thus justifying stamping them and their...

Occupy Wall St.'s drumbeat grows louder Here's some of those who have heard: Former Sen. Feingold was one of the most liberal Senators and has generally fought for working class people, so I'm not surprised at his remarks. On the other hand, there's those who don't get it: Yes, they...

Cain: Wall St. protesters playing victim card Anti-American? ANTI-AMERICAN??? Perhaps in some bizarro alternate universe that Cain lives in inside his head, greed, corruption and theft are core American values, but in our world protest is as American as apple pie. If Obama's economic...

http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/ The first suggestion is crazy. Free trade is a force for good, and it seems a bit inconsistent to oppose it while simultaneously favoring free immigration. And a minimum wage at 20 dollars an hour is insane! Lots...

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2394071,00.asp#fbid=GyycdNN5pgL This might be interesting. Do you think "they" really can?

Here's my coverage of the OccupyLA protest that occurred yesterday at Los Angeles City Hall. What do you guys think? Was the coverage fair? Did you agree with any of the signs? Part 1. Part 2. <-------- Some moron yelling at cops. Part 3. Part 4.

Did anybody show up? http://usdayofrage.org/ The really funny one is the "occupation" of Wall Street. http://usdayofrage.org/public-announcements/150-important-announcement-tactical-plans-for-sept17-occupywallstreet.html For those who don't know NYC let me explain the humor. Normally Wall...

Came across this interesting video while following up on the doings of a totally disgusting slimeball of a Tea Bagger named Catherina Wojtowicz. One of the YouTube videos I visited was linked with one put up by a twoofer that purported to show two Tea Baggers being assaulterd by some lefties...

I really haven't been keeping up with the news these past couple of months, so I am curious about some numbers. I know that recently the "Tea baggers" marched on Washington. The claimed outrageous numbers (proven to be hillarious fakes). What was the actual number of the Tea baggers according...

My first nomination belongs to some anonymous graffiti writers. While driving through a somewhat affluent neighborhood in Houston, I noticed that someone had taken the time to write "war" on the bottom of several dozen stop signs. I cannot imagine anyone looking at one these stop signs and...
