One Occupier demanded that Bloomberg resign from his position as mayor–and refused to come down from the 40-foot Joie de Vivre sculpture in Zuccotti Park until his demands were met. He was brought down by hostage negotiators about four hours later, but, man, what a protest!

Goldman Sachs continues to tell the poor to go fuck themselves. The Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union, a New York lending service for the lower-class, was holding a fund-raiser. Goldman Sachs was invited and pledged $5,000–about a quarter of the fundraiser’s cost. But, when Goldman Sachs found out that Occupy Wall Street was going to be honored, they declined the invitation, taking back their money. Is there a more blatant way to admit your guilt and show disdain for the poor?

Protesters Occupied G.E.’s CEO’s front lawn. That is a wonderful, progressive movement by the Northeastern Occupiers. While G.E. CEO Jeffrey Immelt has technically come out in support of the Occupy movement, but his rhetoric needs work. Jeff, your insincerity is showing! In a stunning example of missing the point, he said, “If CEO pay goes way down and unemployment is 12%, people are still going to feel bad.”

Occupy Portland is helping the homeless. They provide shelter, food, and medical services to anyone who needs it. In Portland, Occupy isn’t just a protest, but a statement, a way of life.
