ugh in portland today a woman was raped shortly before the riot police converged on occupyportland tried to march over the steel bridge. they didn't respond to the rape victim for three hours and the police chief/portland mayoral candidate blamed the occupy movement for making the police "too tired" to do their job. Go fuck yourself with that shit.

15 i think were arrested in my group, 22 or so more in an earlier action at wells fargo and i'm sure others throughout the day. they took us to a parking garage somewhere i assumed was a cia black site and let most of us go with citations, but i'm an idiot and had looked at my wallet that morning and thought "lol i don't have any cash, i don't even have any money in my bank account, what kind of grandiose delusion is it to carry around a wallet" and left it behind, so i didn't have my ID, so i went to jail, cuz apparently you go to jail if you don't have your ID. a few other guys did too -- most because they had priors; one for the same reason as me -- as did the girl in the pepper-spray photo above, as far as i could tell just for being pepper-sprayed.

we did an earlier thing at bank of america but they locked their doors in time so we just sat outside for a while and sloganed while they yelled "GET A JOB" through the glass. some wag in a suit inside put up a sign saying PLEASE USE OTHER DOOR so i put one up facing in saying PLEASE USE OTHER SOURCE OF GAMBLING FUNDS and he mouthed "that's pretty good" through the glass. they won though because eventually we just left.
oh and somebody commandeered the pompous flagpoles outside of wells fargo and ran up 1) an inverted american flag (totally feel this in the distress-signal sense but probably not the best idea from a PR standpoint oh well) and 2) an OCCUPY banner, which was pretty cool. made the news. the inverted american flag, i mean. of course.

I walked around, and put up signs in there offering money to rent out an apartment for a few hours.
I spoke with her on the phone, and a few days later went over and met her. I told her what I wanted to do, and she was enthused. The more I described, the more excited she got.
She wouldn’t take my money. That was the day of the eviction of Zuccotti, the same day. And she’d been listening to the news all day, she saw everything that had happened.
“I can’t charge you money, this is for the people,” she said.

btw there were all kinds of organizations at this march doing all kinds of cool stuff like foreclosure resistance or worker education or helping day laborers or being wobblies or whatever, and they all had people in them i recognized from occupy and i think had met each other at occupy (occupy here meaning The Camps), but what the official "occupy" representatives were there doing was they had a big papier-mache golden bull with bank/corporate logos on it and they dressed up as ancient egyptians and danced around it for five minutes to cake's "comfort eagle". this is nothing people haven't been saying since last may (i just haven't been in touch cuz i'm a useless fair-weather rank-sweller) but felt like there's a tremendous legacy of occupy as event + bankruptcy of occupy as brand.

4real? is this in any way relevant to anything that's happend in the past two years (or twenty even)? (leave aside if it even made sense when the poem was written -- still in the long wake of france '68). insofar as there was any agreed upon message or set of grievances from occupy, isn't this directly contrary to that?
