paulcurrier: Live Updates: 4:10: - Nearly 20,000 have signed petition to keep out NPS police at saveoccupydc.org. A group of Occupiers issued a citizen’s arrest of a Fox News van that was illegally parked blocking a fire hydrant, asking police to evict them instead of peaceful protesters. 4:00: The Occupier tazed last night for removing eviction notices has been released from jail, given order not to go to McPherson. 3:30: Tensions still high at McPherson. Meanwhile, Freedom Plaza has apparently decided to comply with Park Service — all tent flaps there are open, small crowd. 2:30: 1000s now assembled. Most corporate media have left, police still around park entrances but not acting. If they raid, most expect eviction to happen after downtown crowds leave. Some Occupiers are blatantly defying ban on sleeping by taking a nap inside a clear tent made by local artists. 1:40: After addressing media, cops circle around Tent of Dreams, leave. 1:30: Park Police commanding officer Schlosser giving press statement now, as protesters mic check him. Officer says “enforcement will be ongoing, no deadline for police action.” Says police will be back “when all of this is over.” Protesters respond: “You work for us, you work for the people! We’ll call you when we need you!” and “Evict corruption, not people protesting it!” 1:00: Hour past deadline. From Twitter: 4 Park Police came by, saw crowd and left. 12:40: Occupiers mic-checking the Declaration of the Occupation and someone arrived with a sound system for a dance-party! No major police presence. 12:30: We’ve heard mic checks from students dreaming of a world without debt-forced servitude, veterans hoping for a day when service members aren’t left behind by service cuts, and more. 12:15: Occupiers have finished creating their tallest tent to date — a 30 foot “Tent of Dreams” around the statue at the center of McPherson Square, referring to their slogan of “Let Us Sleep So We Can Dream.” 12:10: Reports of federal Protective Services and police sirens approaching. The park is swamped with media and reporters. 11:50: Labor, including a nurses’ union, has shown up to support!FOR MORE INFO CLICK-THROUGH THE PHOTO TO LIVE

SIGN THE OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PETITION TO STOP ACTA.

fuckyeahmst3k:

moriartistry:

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/end-acta-and-protect-our-right-privacy-internet/MwfSVNBK

I don’t use this blog to promote non-MST3k stuff very much. We did go black during the SOPA protest, but ACTA is a U.N. measure that could do a lot of the harm SOPA threatened on a much more global scale. MST3k on the internet could become a distant memory.

Keep the Internet neutral. Keep MST3k alive. Keep circulating the tapes.
