We will not surrender no matter what (unless someone sprays pepper spray directly in our faces)! Yo dawg, I heard you like activism so we put an occupation in your occupation so you can protest while you protest. ---

Announcing my presence. Not saying I agree or disagree, demand or whatever, but I’m happy just to stand in line and be ridiculed. That’s how I roll. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Are you trying to out-Skald Skald or something? 🙂 > > No wait…All Hail the Anti-Skald! That has a certain appeal. But I must confess to not following Skald closely enough to say whether that’s a plus or a minus. Net zero? I will say that the level of levity herein is my cup of tea, but I have little regard for the formal “Tea Party” position. Would “Pun Party” serve as well as a description of what’s happening here? What’s the banner look like? Whose picture has one of those International “NOT” diagonal lines across it? We need a slogan. A battle cry. A fight song. I sense we need something like **Anarchists Unite** to serve the purpose of a rallying cry. ---
