‘Democracy Now’: OWS Day of Action Special

Posted on Nov 18, 2011

We just couldn’t choose from among the array of clips our friends at “Democracy Now!” sent along from Friday’s special broadcast about the OWS Day of Action activities around the country Thursday. So, we figured we’d just post the whole thing.

This way, you’ll see the segments on the OWS movement at its official two-month mark, plus a word from hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons—a 1 percenter who’s lending his voice to the 99 percent—and you won’t miss the bit about the SEIU demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge, which led to the arrest of the union’s president and other leaders as they rallied for job creation. And that’s not all. Settle in for a big dose of quality programming.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.
