Re-Occupy Yer Lawns: #OccupyRewilding

Michael Pollan sez: “A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.”

Occupy St. Patrick's Day/M17 (#OWS @ 6 Months)

It should be easy to see why M17 is so important this year.

Never Trust a Cop: #Occupy Yer Rights

13 Magic Words: “I am going to remain silent. I would like to see a lawyer.”

Cops, judges, and lawyers are trained to deal with situations like police stops, arrests, and other legal proceedings, but the rest of us live in a bubble of TV-induced misperceptions. There is so much to know and so many mistakes to be avoided that nobody can afford the luxury of not learning these ropes.
