Anons have re-uploaded it, but it may well be taken down again. If you have the ability and will to do so, please copy and re-upload.
Below the orange solidarity squiggle, the transcription,and an UPDATE.”

From Tits and Sass: Long Island Serial Killer Update
“Here’s the deeply depressing, and depressingly unsurprisingly verdict: two of the unidentified victims found on Gilgo Beach were likely working as prostitutes. One was an Asian male whose body was found in women’s clothing. He’s the only man among the ten bodies uncovered thus far. (Edit: Dacia has pointed out that the victim may have identified as a trans woman.) The five identified victims were all escorts.”
If you want to tell Suffolk County officials to give sex workers amnesty you can find details here.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is partly cloudy skies and highs of 68°F. Nighttime temperatures will reach a low of 52°F. There is a small chance of rain later in the week. Bring, at minimum, warm clothing, sleeping bag, food, water and a tarp.
Saturday’s occupation begins at noon in Bowling Green Park. The first people’s assembly will start at 3 p.m. at One Chase Manhattan Plaza and continue until our one demand is agreed upon by all. Check out the full schedule of events.
A leaked bulletin from the New York Police Department reveals that they expect at least 5,000, and maybe even 20,000 people to swarm Wall Street tomorrow. That just might be enough for us to pull this off!
A telephone support line has been set up by occupywallst.org. For directions or help call (877) 881-3020 to speak with a local activist. For legal advice, or to report an arrest, call the National Lawyers Guild at (212) 679-6018.”
Personally I think the “one demand” should have been decided beforehand. The chance that informants will infiltrate this group is much higher once people are on the ground. Add to that various police beatdowns, tear gas and media pressure to the event and trying to decide something important just got that much harder. I’d vote for the revocation of corporate personhood myself.
Can’t make it to WallStreet? There’s solidarity protests happening worldwide. See the link above for details.
Super cute! I think the heart shape is clever. SWAAY is currently having difficulties with the billboard project. Long story short-no LA billboard company will take their business. I’ll post any updates as soon as I get them.
Yesterday I was sick so didn’t make a 9/11 post on time. But a day late isn’t bad. I’ve blogged several times about 9/11. Mostly I focus on questioning the official story. This year though I want to shift focus. Of all the commentary Reverend Billy’s video stood out the most. He’s asked “What happened to peace?” What happened indeed.
Here’s older footage from Rev. Billy in the days after 9/11. His words still ring true. I love his phrase “our grief is not a cry for war”.
Can we get back to that state-people gathered together trying to figure out how to deal with tragedy in a peaceful way? Ten years of war painfully show us how much it’s not working.
