TWITTER EMBRACED OEMBED EARLY BUT NOT COMPLETELY. i think that by 2009-2010 we were already seeing embedded videos and thumbnails of articles but, curiously, not tweets.
i spent the whole year of 2011 ―the year of #ArabSpring #Syntagma #Acampadas #Walkerville #Bloombergville and #OccupyWallStreet― writing many a QT on tweets where i was translating quotes from many EU sources still somewhat geoblocked in USA, especially BBC News, El País, L’Express and Al-Jazeera…

The original #email that started #OccupyWallStreet
..."On September 17, 2011 thousands of women and men gathered in Zuccotti Park, located near New York City’s financial district. It was a day when Occupy Wall Street (#OccupyWallStreet) movement was publicly born, gradually receiving global attention and spawning the grassroots protests against social and economic inequality a "...
#Capitalism makes fully moral behaviour impossible; the markets will lead us to extinction. On #ThisDayInHistory in 2011, the #OccupyWallStreet movement began. It should never have ended. Here is a clip of #DavidGraeber, one of the early voices of #Occupy. #WeAreThe99Percent #IWW
If you're curious about #anarchism in #NYC, then check out a book edited by Tom Goyens called Radical Gotham: Anarchism in #NewYorkCity from Schwab's Saloon to #OccupyWallStreet. It includes an overview of various ethnic communities (German, Yiddish, Italian, Spanish) during the classical era & post-WWII topics (including the #CatholicWorker, Why? newspaper, the #LivingTheater, Up Against the Wall MFer, ABC No Rio, and Occupy). Great collection!
@jeffowski We discussed economic inequality and it’s connection to corporate greed, big finance and the influence of money in politics during #OccupyWallStreet after #CitizensUnited was voted into law under the pretext of Free Speech.
It began in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Financial District, and lasted for fifty-nine days—from September 17 to November 15, 2011.

It is interesting, but unfortunately a simplified critique of capitalism. This is because focusing solely on financial capital is wrong.
That's one of the reason why the Occupy movement, which began with “Occupy Wall Street,” was not successful.
But I loved the people and Angela Davis came to Berlin.Without this movement, I would never have had the chance to meet her in person and talking with her... <3
Remembering #OccupyWallStreet
His shoot-from-the-hip style lurches from one extreme to another, deploying the government’s power in extraordinary ways that diminish the predictability and order that business craves from Washington.
Donald The WallStreet Slayer is killing America via extortion. May he take down the 1% with him.
#OccupyWallStreet of old is gasping
Great new film about Occupy Wall Street! Premiere screening 9/17/25 in NYC; streaming link available.
From the director / producers:
It’s hard to imagine now, but not so long ago millions of us fervently believed we were going to uproot this rotten system once and for all. Bursting with hope, Occupy Wall Street was one of the great democratic moments in U.S. history, when we had the plutocrats and the powerful on the back foot.
On the 14th anniversary of the movement, please join us for the premiere of a new film followed by discussion.
What: Premiere screening of Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream
(dir. Michelle Fawcett, 2025, 51 min.) and discussion
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2025, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Where: The People’s Forum, 320 W. 37th St., New York, NY
(A screening link will also be available.)
Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream is a unique look at how the movement spread like wildfire across the country, upending politics as usual. It’s the story of laid-off factory workers in the Rust Belt, Indigenous activists in the Southwest fighting another kind of occupation, recent graduates saddled with debt and no jobs, and homeless veterans of America’s forever wars kicked to the curb. In our travels to 42 occupations in 27 states, we met hundreds of everyday people fed up with the politicians and pundits who were as bankrupt as the big banks that blew up the economy—then stuck us with the trillion-dollar check.
But out of this suffering, the occupiers forged a new American Dream on street corners, parks, and public plazas from coast to coast. And out of this struggle, they flipped the script from austerity to inequality, from reform to revolution, and from fear to power, heralding a new era in American politics.
The Occupy movement now feels, politically and temporally, like a dream. By telling the tale of its first year within a personal narrative, I hope to inspire my nephew’s generation to believe a better world is possible—and that there once was a time when people from all walks of life got together to fight for it.
Please sign up here to reserve a seat at The People’s Forum in NYC on September 17, or to request a screening link.

In this time of great despair, let’s go on a trip to a time of great hope. Let’s find our way forward again.

I wonder, are there any Americans on this platform, who could help me with a #legal question?
I have read quite a few years ago, that financial newspapers ( (unlike political ones) have to report "the truth", because people are making financial decisions based on the reporting.
Is that true? Does anyone maybe have a source?
the groups that came out of #OccupyWallStreet are gracious
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2013, #GeziPark protests began in #İstanbul. Coalescing around opposition to losing the park, the leaderless movement inspired by #OccupyWallStreet & the #ArabSpring spoke out broadly for #PressFreedom and against declining secularism under Erdoğan's AKP.
If you say "goodgroup" (case-sensitive!) to me (where I can see it) I'll try to reply w/a group I consider good, e.g. "the groups that came out of #OccupyWallStreet" (or something)
