Video: Hipster Cop Loses His Cool At Occupy Wall Street, Tells Former Le Tigre Member To Turn Music Down
Hipster Cop, the well dressed neighborhood watch dog of the youngsters protesting at Occupy Wall Street, broke his uber-coolness by having a little freak out (that was caught on tape) yesterday. Just as technicians were doing a soundcheck at an outdoor stage at Broadway and Stone for a permitted performance by self-described "protect band," and former Le Tigre alum, JD Samson & MEN, Detective Rick Lee stormed up yelling to turn the volume down by half and shouting at another protester to "shut up!" at the May Day rally. Check out the video after the jump... More»
"Best $2k I Never Spent!" Occupy Wall Street Returns For May Day, Instagram Photo Round Up
The question that is lingering on everyone's minds is: Did May Day save Occupy Wall Street? Yesterday the OWS movement teamed up with labor unions and immigration-rights activists to march down Broadway to the Financial District, and drew massive crowds in its path. Aside from the Broadway march, other protests spurt up throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and across the country in cities like Detroit and Chicago, and even abroad such as in London and Sydney. Since their eviction from Zuccotti Park in November, the movement has been uncharacteristically quiet, and yesterday was their official moment of resurgence. What will happen next? I guess we will just have to wait and see. Check out the photos below. More»

Occupy Wall Street protesters are coming out of hibernation today for what is expected to be one of the biggest and most wide-spread Occupy Wall Street protest yet.
Occupy Wall Street related events are planned for today in 115 cities throughout the US, though the biggest and most vocal will be here in NY.
Protesters gathered in Bryant Park early this morning before leaving for various demonstration sites throughout the city. At 4pm, all NY protesters will gather in Union Square for the Solidarity Rally, and at 5:30pm they will take part in the Solidarity March down Broadway to Wall Street. More»

Spring is in the air! The birds are chirping, the diners at Pastis are eating their mussels outside, and Tinsley Mortimer has awakened from her long winter's nap. But down on Wall Street, something is stirring, and it's not Grey Goose martinis. The sleeping giant known as the 99% has shaken off its snow, stroked its mighty beard, and typed into its Twitter app: "#May1." More»

From Santas flooding the Brooklyn Bridge, to Prince stealing the show from Versace, to Valentino singing karaoke at the Westway, to Terry Richardson's strippers, to Studio 54's one night come back, to Charlie Sheen with the Juggalos and more, check out the best of the "Best $2k" from 2011.
Across the country, the Occupy Wall Street movement faces a crossroads. Zucotti Park was dispersed in a midnight secret police raid, and while most of the satellite protests in cities like Atlanta, Portland, and Oakland have been cleared with tear gas and "less lethal" force, we're going strong, as protesters stood strong on yesterday's planned eviction day. Is it just a coincidence that the day before, the protest received a dose of rock power from punk legends NOFX? It's not ours to speculate. More»
NYC started a trend. It was only a matter of time until our friends on the West would catch on. Yesterday, as part of the "National Day of Action for the 99%," Angelenos stepped out in numbers for marches that shut down major city streets and we were there to capture the action (and weed vapor).

The group plans to move on by taking over the subways and the Staten Island ferry around 3 p.m. today, then plans to march across the Brooklyn Bridge. Check out photos from this morning...
