| Not my photo, but a good introduction |
 |
| This is to illustrate the several different law enforcement outfits we have watching us on this property, which belongs to Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Metro Transit, and the Government Center building. |
 |
| Even the Jesus freaks are part of the 99% |
 |
| Well-attended first day |
 |
| David, our resident flutist and GA expert, serenades Osha, our unofficial leader who started the website occupymn.org and gathered the troops |
 |
| Some of our resident anarchists have a problem with authority. This is a welcome reminder that cooperation with law enforcement is why we're not being kicked out. |
 |
| This kid was in the process of a very articulate lesson on the Rockafellers and their involvement in our wars, all based on profit. |
 |
| These steps are beautiful. |
 |
| Jesse is a dedicated sign-holder |
 |
| This is why we occupy. |
 |
| Someone donated solar panels and car batteries when we were told the county wouldn't allow us to use the electricity that we pay for with our tax dollars. |
 |
| My favorite! The teach-ins are great. |
 |
| A sign inspired by our overlapping with the Zombie Pub Crawl |
 |
| A LOT of people on our first day of the occupation |
 |
| InnocentSmith has the best sign. |
 |
| The beginning of the People's Library, started by our resident conservative. It's since grown a lot. |
 |
| My view of the People's Plaza from a window in my office building |
 |
| Me chatting with MPR's Rupa Shenoy prior to a radio interview. I still can't find the audio from this interview, but I'm sure happy I finally achieved my long-time goal of being on MPR :) |
 |
| David, pre-occupying the night/early morning before the beginning of the occupation with Osha |
 |
| OccupyMN folks go out for a beer, keep hugging |
 |
| We pretended it was also Osha's birthday. |
 |
| The view from the campsite on the South Plaza |
 |
| Our first General Assembly |
 |
| Tell your story for the People's Manifesto |
I tried to blog more thoroughly about this the other day, but it's really difficult right now.
Saturday should be a big day.
In the meantime, check out our livestream, because it's awesome:
