Occupy Wall Street wants to spend Halloween in Washington this year. But members of the protest movement might want to think about leaving their masks at home. Those could be illegal in D.C.

Thanks to a molasses-like security perimeter outside a special area designated for protests outside the Democratic National Convention, D.C. Mayor Vince Gray was unable to address a Charlotte crowd on the push for D.C. statehood.

The Occupy movement has long been looking forward to today. Activists are looking to make May 1, sometimes known as May Day or International Workers’ Day, a seminal moment in the seven-month-old protest.

The sidewalk outside a Bank of America on Vermont Avenue NW is the cool place to camp out these days, with five more members of Occupy D.C. arrested Friday morning after sleeping under the ATM.

Seven members of Occupy D.C. have been arrested this week for blocking the sidewalk after sleeping outside a downtown Bank of America branch. It’s a new tactic, but it’s disputed which Occupy group thought of it first.

The reporter who shot the video of Andrew Breitbart’s tirade against the Occupy movement writes about how she became one of the late right-wing provocateur’s favorite targets in the last weeks of his life.

Remember we stumbled upon a Mercedes-Benz convertible peculiarly branded with vanity license plates reading “OCCUPY”? It threw us off a bit. The car’s owner tells us he’s a firm backer of the Occupy movement.

Several hundred protesters descended on the gates of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel earlier this afternoon to voice their displeasure with the Conservative Political Action Conference going on inside.

Eight people from Occupy D.C. were arrested and scores of tents removed as U.S. Park Police spent the day enforcing the ban on camping in McPherson Square in what was by far the largest show of force yet agains the four-month-old protest.

McPherson Square was flush with protesters, onlookers and reporters waiting to see what action the U.S. Park Police would take in enforcing the National Park Service’s final warning that Occupy D.C. is in violation of federal regulations about camping in a public space. So far, no one has been arrested.
