The whole deal is breathtaking.
Fellow revolutionaries, I think we might be winning the public mind? There are empty-ish parking lots I’m seeing in pics all over the US. Twitter’s top 3 spots are all about the Walmart strikes, even #walmart and #blackfriday.
We’ve found Our voice, I think?

Thanks for the pic, mod!
Maybe.
About 100 people demonstrated and mic checked in front of the Walmart store on Route 9 in Hadley, Mass., this morning, in support of Walmart workers.
(Best sign: Walmart. Always low wages. Always.)
The huge parking lot in the huge Walmart/Barnes & Noble/Whole Foods/ etc. mall seemed to be about half empty. This seemed notable.
I’m just so…gobsmacked.
I hoped OWS would turn into something bigger. But the Despair-Monster has haunted me. To have real hope again is phenomenal.
Middle finger and bottom of shoe to Mr Market State!
awareness is a beautiful thing.

Unite or perish, for real, guys.

According to a YouTube that Laura Clawson put up on Daily Kos, there were actions in Mobile AL, Baton Rouge LA, Spartanburg SC,…sounds like old times. I know there was one near Chapel Hill NC and Occupy Raleigh promoted one in Garner NC (a Raleigh suburb).
Thank you for this wonderful ray of hope, expressed with the word “Unstoppable.” Here we have been told we “were dead, as we had never figured out how to use the Occupy brand.” And then Storm Sandy whipped across the East Coast, while Occupy showed the devastated people that there was help available, just not from FEMA or Red Cross.
Now we are making a real impact on WalMarts.
And tomorrow is “Shop local small businesses” Saturday, too.
What a classy hack.

A little pick-me-up and and some good advice.
Yesterday morning, a local news helicopter was flying over a Wal-Mart in Parma, Ohio, with the newscaster gushing over the “full” parking lot and talking about all of the people going in and out.
The parking lot was over half empty, and the crowd looked no bigger than one on an average weekday afternoon.
Oh, friendly voice. Good to hear such friendly news. Walmart PR is BS.
Excellent advice, indeed. (and good to see you again.)
