Tomorrow is likely to be one of the biggest international days of action yet for the Occupy movement: the massive May Day General Strike. This action has been in the works for months, with protests planned by Occupy groups around the world. In Boston, several major actions are planned:

There were some significant legal precedents set in Manhattan today. New York City criminal court judge Matthew Sciarrino, Jr. ruled that Occupy Wall Street protester Malcolm Harris – one of hundreds arrested during a direct action on the Brooklyn Bridge last October – has no standing to stop authorities from subpoenaing his Twitter account.

Protests like today's march on General Electric and other ruthless tax-dodgers remind me of why money-grubbing conservatives hate community organizers so much. Because without nearly 1000 heads waving signs to inform people about the Fortune 500 behemoths that screw us, these companies would simply weave through loopholes unnoticed.

As far as evictions go, it was quite a strange scene at Camp Charlie this week.

At around 8:30pm on Monday night, authorities showed up at the Massachusetts Statehouse, where Occupy Boston has been camped since April 4 in protest of the legislature's failure to seriously address mass transit issues.

One of the points that was made over and over again by those protesting MBTA fare hikes (and Mass transit funding issues in general) yesterday was that this fight isn't new. It's been roaring for decades, and just seems to have grown extremely loud and and in-your-face over the past few months.

As of today, though, activists have extended their message into the future, stressing that the war's not over.

As it turns out, the forces conspiring against MBTA fare hikes and service cuts weren't joking. They didn't quite turn out a Wisconsin-sized Statehouse occupation as planned, but much hell was raised, and they even got a snap out of a Beacon Hill power player. Here's how it went down, or at least how I saw things unfold .

As one elderly Red Line rider explained at today's public MBTA hearing at the Mass Transportation Building: the fight for rider's rights isn't a new one. The commonwealth has been down these tracks before, and the past few months have been no exception. As generally happens when lifelines get cut, the latest war over transit has evolved into a mass endeavor.

At least one group of protest fans expects Occupy to stage a significant Spring comeback. The gushing observers were out in force yesterday, tailing rally-goers on a march through downtown and Faneuil Hall. Sure, Boston police have shown appreciation for Occupy before. But it was still impressive to see so many of them dedicate their whole Sunday to the cause, and to playing along with their very own April Fools' stunt.

First of all, I want to say that everyone feels just awful about the polite woman who lives in Harbor Towers, and who had to sit in traffic for a full half-hour one day last Fall on account of Occupy Boston marching down Atlantic Ave. In a way, she's a bold representation of all the apathetic martyrs who've been inconvenienced by the countless people who are standing up for jobs and civil rights.

As some Phoenix readers might know by now, my first book, 99 Nights with the 99 Percent (Write To Power, $14.99), drops softly around New England this week. Subtitled “Dispatches from the First Three Months of the Occupy Revolution,” at its core the project is a time capsule from the center of last year's biggest news story, written and presented with an irreverent stank on it.

A small and somber group of about 25 activists gathered in the shadow of the Hancock Tower today for a funeral on Copley Square. Dressed in all-black, satirical grief filling their faces, the mourners – representing MassUniting and likeminded progressive fronts – came to sink a casket for the countless jobs that cease to exist as a result of Hancock tenant Bain Capital's outrageously greedy practices.

The latest theater in the war against MBTA fare hikes and service cuts opened Monday with a bang on every corner of the train map. Occupy Somerville forces rallied in Davis Square. Their Jamaica Plain and Dorchester counterparts gathered at Forest Hills and Fields Corner, respectively, to sound alarms about troubling proposals.

Everyone who met in Dewey Square this afternoon had one thing in common – whether they're an activist with MassUniting, a member of Occupy Boston, or one of the police officers assigned to chaperone today's protest. They all paid a lot more taxes than General Electric last year.

And so the group of roughly 100 pissed off people poured across Atlantic Avenue, and marched one block from Dewey to GE's Boston offices on Summer Street.

As legislators returned to Washington, DC, for the start of a new congressional session on Tuesday, January 17, hundreds of Occupy protesters from around the country convened on the lawn of the US Capitol. The event marked the Occupy movement's first major national action of 2012 - and the four-month anniversary of the day Wall Street first became occupied.
