I heard from 350.org that there would be a march on facebook on Mayday because Zuckerburg was spending money on pro Keystone XL messages in the media. Sounded like a good photo op. They were already marching towards the end of Willow Road when I finally caught up with them.

  

The signs told the story fairly well...

     

     

Unfortunately, security and the cops were there to prevent us from getting any closer to Facebook than the public sidewalk on the other side of their property line.

     

  

The leadership confab with law enforcement grew like a discussion on the pitchers mound when there is disagreement on what to do.

  

Meanwhile, the Raging Grannies took this opportunity to sing a song that made it clear that wasteful burning fossil fuels is wallowing in a river of stupid denial.

  

The upshot of that confab was that we could take pictures of each other in front of the facebook "like sign", but then we had to leave. We were not permitted to give the three inch high stack of names that Credo had collected to share with Zuckerburg so he would know of our discontent.

I stood in the picture for a bit with my thumbs down like everybody else, but then I figured I'd rather take pictures than be in them.

  

  

Then people that had something to say to everybody else took turns giving brief remarks.

        

About the time we were done a car full of super activists from Berkeley showed up to help out. They caught up with us at the fast food joint a block down the road from facebook. Nobody wanted to go back and deal with the cops we'd promised we'd leave.

They settled for a photo op with our hazmat team by the sign and behind another section of the pipeline. Among them were a Zuckerburg look alike who seems to be the only one  that likes Keystone XL, and a suit in a BP hat. Probably he was there to promise us that the pipeline would never leak!
