The police stormed the protest camp at the University of Chicago in the middle of the night, leading to a great interview with a student talking about, among other things, the cowardness of following orders.

      Need more people to be like both the protesters and the reporter. If nobody will be the megaphone for you – you are fucked. When occupy wallstreet happened the press basically was a sock puppet and a lot of brutality went unreported. Dissent is good but make sure you ally yourselves with the press. Cameras are your friend. Not all cops are bastards but a lot are. Be calm. Be clear and assertive. Be an example.

      We are all in this together. United we stand.
