The Bank of America Occupation is Already a Great Moment in History
In case you east coasters missed last night's occupation of Bank of America in San Francisco, it's truly wonderful. And this picture is something I hope our great-grandchildren see. (If The Machines that run the banks that will be running the government by then let them see any pictures, of course.) Sounds like Bank of America doesn't really even need our help in running the business into the ground though—and trying to take America with it as it prepares to cut 30,000 jobs. Meanwhile, right now in New York….
Sounds like lots of folks are being carted off to jail. And this is also happening.

Also this is a wonderful picture outside Starbucks by Wall Street.

The revolution will not be covered by the New York Times.
@NotAndersonCooper But I'm sure NY1 will. Or at least Pat Kiernan will highlight it in "In the Papers".
@NotAndersonCooper Seriously, what's up with that? I see it online being covered in the "City Room", probably sandwiched between the Vows section and the Bridge column (does anyone even play bridge anymore?)
@hockeymom Choire plays the bridge! It's true!
@hockeymom Yep, City Room.
How bad can a corporation be that pays Malcolm Gladwell to give pep talks to small business owners?
Oh.
"I respectfully ask you to protest outside," a bank official told the protesters, while shooing away a customer who tried to deposit a check.
Now that's some EXTREME BANKING right there.
That cardboard box with the West Elm logo in photo 2 is a work of art.
