november
17th marked the two month anniversary (it seems like ages ago) of the
occupy movement, and a "day of action" was declared in new york
city
the
corporate media has covered the movement with an expected undercurrent
of sarcasm, yet the student-driven turnout at union square was tremendous
tuition
hikes and student loans without no guaranteed jobs spell a bleak future
for education. what's new? governments should understand that's their
work force.
"bored
of living on a board of monopoly? you can break the monotony"
if
I were the authorities, I'd be afraid of angry people.
the
faces of the revolution are not always hippies as the media picks them
out to be, although nobody would mind if being called that means "liberal"
thousands
marched towards foley square, chanting "who's streets? our streets!"
while blocking traffic on the way.
it was almost a light jog, and the jubilant crowd danced and chanted through the streets.
above, protestors pass by an american flag commemorating 911. who would've thought, after 10 years what america would look like?

most
onlookers gave an overwhelmingly positive reaction, some clapped, some
honked (even taxi and busdrivers) as the crowd reacted.
a lot of workers came out to the sidewalk and by their windows looking down the avenues, as if a marathon was going on.
you could almost hear them talking, "so, what are they protesting about again?"

young
crowd at foley park, nuff said.
everybody
represents here. I don't even need to post the violent police footage
to describe this special evening.
after
spending time in egypt in august, I have never heard the word revolution
used as much as I have in 2011.
it's arguable whether or not what is happening in the unites states could be considered a revolution. I say let's keep arguing then.
