About 30-50 people gathered in the Capitol building’s basement this morning to question Chief Tubbs and a Department of Administration rep. on a new policy that will — among other things — force protesters at Wisconsin’s Capitol building to pay for additional law enforcement and treat groups of 4 or more people as “rallies”....

I may have publicly squealed like a schoolgirl while watching and rewatching Scott “ToolJob” Walker get silenced by Chicago protesters at a clubby breakfast.They use the “human microphone” technique to repeat statements and amplify their voices. So don’t give it a second thought. Just roll that video and do a little human microphone of...

The morning after: Democracy Now’s coverage of the march and speeches is about as good as you’ll find. They briefly cover other events first in this, then move on to a video of people getting arrested in their tent in Seattle’s Occupy location, and then cover New York’s march. They report that 75 schools...

FYI: I am still in Madison, Wisconsin. I am just amplifying the news from the occupation movement. Today I had the pleasure of both watching the live feed from Wall Street AND listening to a micro broadcaster, Rotunda Radio. Basically, Rotunda Radio is a slightly illegal station that’s available in Madison and online. [follow...

I’ll keep on adding media as I find it. If you haven’t seen the main post yet, that’s back here at Protesting Scott Walker and the Croquet Ballers From Arthur over at the facebook page Shit Scott Walker is Doing to My State – a flotilla video! (Wish I coulda been on that pontoon...

Protests usually make me feel gleeful. This protest made me feel alternately happy and nauseous. It was because I had to actually watch Walker’s buddies play croquet on the lawn of what is known as “The Governor’s Mansion” but which is the property of the State of Wisconsin. Despite this sign stuck in a...

Photo above from Wisconsin Jobs Now. These are videos of people getting kicked out of Paul Ryan’s Rotary luncheon for asking questions. After they paid $15.00 to get in. I’m seeing multiple reports that 5 were kicked out while 3 were arrested. While they were inside, a rally took place outside. From Greendale Patch:...

It wasn’t so long ago that I ran a guest post from Bruce N. But something just happened to him that I think is important. Actually, what’s more important is the way that he has handled it. I stood in mostly light rain on Capitol Square yesterday, my usual Saturday space at the Farmer’s...

This is a guest post by Bruce N. I’ve seen Bruce protesting in snow, sleet, rain, and sweltering sun at the Capitol building. If you want to learn about how to do a marathon protest, Bruce is your go-to man. He had an unusual conversation with the Wisconsin Senate’s Scott Fitzgerald today. One hour...

This is just the tail end of Mike Elk’s article on a strike in Pennsylvania and it is what will make you go back and read the whole thing. The workers at this Hershey warehouse are guest workers who are forced to stay in inflated rental housing–buying their housing from the “company store” –...

I’m pondering whether I’ll start drawing social security before or after this feud over protest-related expenses ends. (23 years from now, give or take). As you recall, Wisconsin’s DOA got the message out that protests at the Capitol were an expensive burden, saying it would cost $7.5 million for Capitol building cleaning – which...

About 300-400 people gathered at Opportunities Inc. in Fort Atkinson last night. Walker visited as part of a 45th anniversary celebration and a $6 million dollar addition to the Opp. Inc. “campus”. Protesters broadcast 3 key messages. The first two I expected: “Recall Walker” and “Opportunities Inc is a sweat shop”. The third message...

Reid Ribble is a U.S. Congressman representing Wisconsin’s 8th District. Here are some of the pictures from the event. Ann Muenster deserves a special thank you for stepping up...

It does my heart good to see these video pieces of Scott Walker being hounded. Add a soundtrack from the Dropkick Murphies – “Take ‘Em Down” – and I’m doing a jig. Their song has that irritating twangy banjo picking I usually hate. But here it seems perfectly fitting against the raising of signs...

This video is from Arthur’s YouTube channel Arthurkr222, by the way. The people who were actually at this rally called the GOP fundraiser a booze cruise last night. Now that I’m seeing this video, I understand why. Watch! Highlights: 1:41 mark – Paul Ryan coming through and Arthur saying “You ought to be ashamed...

Photos and video of about 300 protesters confronting Scott Walker at Devil’s Lake State Park this morning. Images are from Skillet Creek Media. It’s important to protest radical right wing authoritarians like Walker and it’s important to share the images and sounds of protest with others. Photos, videos, and accounts of protest beget yet...

This next statement sounds a little like a mix of me and the Wisconsin Tourism Board: Whether you want to protest with a sign, make a call, knock on a door, or even plan to leave for Chicago, there’s just a whole lotta political stuff to keep you busy in lovely Wisconsin! The most...

I couldn’t even try to go to Scott Walker’s private inauguration today or protest outside. I was helping my son with a car problem! Oh well. I’ll have to see what the other bloggers put out there for us. The blog Caffeinated Politics let me know that the public was locked out of Wisconsin’s...
