••• “In New York, where the police temporarily evicted Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park early Tuesday, and in other cities, dozens of organizers maintained that the movement had already reshaped the public debate. They said it no longer needed to rely solely on seizing parks [….] They said they were already trying to broaden their influence, for instance by deepening their involvement in community groups and spearheading more of what they described as direct actions, like withdrawing money from banks, and were considering supporting like-minded political candidates.” —New York Times

••• Or not! “The Occupy Wall Street ’99 percenters’ are commemorating the two-month mark since the birth of their movement with a day of action—starting with an attempt to shut down the New York Stock Exchange. Details of how they intend to do that are vague, but sources within the protest said it will involve an attempt to shut down service at the Fulton Street subway hub and may also involve attempts to block traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. City officials said they are prepping for ‘tens of thousands’ of protesters in what would they believe could be the largest showing of public disobedience in recent memory.” —DNAinfo
