Updates 2/5/12

Hello everyone.


This is such an odd winter.


Here's the news:


-- Occupy Oakland marched yesterday, with this weekend only slightly resembling the past one. Occupiers marched toward police headquarters, only to be diverted into the city by a line of police. Occupiers marched and chanted for nearly two hours before ending up where they began the march. No one was arrested.


-- Occupy Austin regrouped on the steps of City Hall, two days after they were evicted. The protesters held a general assembly before police arrived to acate the plaza at the new closing time of 10 p.m., and Occupiers left without incident.


Occupy Honolulu has been targeted again by police, and they certainly aren't happy about it. You can read the article here:

Occupy DC dealt with a day long eviction yesterday. While I did report on the initial move-in of police yesterday, there is more to the story, including three more arrests. Read about it here:
