as much as i may make fun of tumblr, if this site has shown me anything its that people know how to spread the word effectively

so reblog if you can, dudes

Gave me a strong case of the “Paladin Rage”.

But no, in all seriousness, this is important.

Okay, so let’s make that asshole Joseph Kony FAMOUS and see how he likes it.

NOT ENOUGH NOTES.

Things got crazy at the Occupy Louisville protest at Chase bank on Highland Ave. From the article: Today, Occupy Louisville had planned to make a statement about Chase bank’s practice of foreclosing on homeowners. Protesters and activists planned to gather outside of the Chase bank a Highland and Baxter avenue to share this message. They would “Mic Check” outside the bank, and present the bank with a mock foreclosure.  The plan was to protest, let their opinions be heard, and go home. The Louisville Metro Police Department wasn’t having it.

shortformblog: climateadaptation: Camila Vallejo was profiled in the NYTimes yesterday. She is everything OWS is not.  “In perhaps the most poignant set piece in the year of the protester, Ms. Vallejo addressed a dense ring of photographers and reporters in August while kneeling within a peace sign made of spent tear-gas shells, where she calmly mused about how many educational improvements could have been bought with the $100,000 worth of munitions at her feet.” NYTimes Props to her for being media-savvy and well-organized. That’s why she’s getting such notice.

Submission from: @oltoughdude

#OccupyLouisville is here to stay! WE are located the epi-center of Mitch McConnell’s brutal tactics to ruin the vary fabric of this country. Mitch McConnell has a condo just minutes away from #encampment here on the corner of 5th&MuhammandAli. We in Louisville, Ky/#OccupyWallStreetNYC are seeking ways to exposes his violent actions and conversations towards “We The People.” McConnell’s disdain, for this country, is evident as inequality has been cemented under his direction. Life, Liberty and Freedoms of the People, by the People shall overcome his ongoing war against the 99%. Expect Us!
