We've just received the above video, an anonymously-edited collection of footage from the general strike in Oakland on November 2, 2011. The 15-minute video includes scenes from the afternoon anti-capitalist march, the subsequent blockading of the Port of Oakland, and the [occupation of the Traveler’s Aid Society building](http://www.bayofrage.com/from-the-bay/statement-on-the-occupation-of-the-former-travelers-aid-society-at-520-16th-street/) in downtown Oakland later that night.

This is a mere snapshot of the [events unfolding around Occupy Oakland](http://viewpointmag.com/the-insurrection-oakland-style/), which are still ongoing; much remains to be discussed and debated. We'll present more material on the subject here soon.

In the meantime, suffice it to say—_things are heating up._
