On July 25th, the FBI conducted an early morning raid on a home in Portland and kidnapped a 24 year-old on federal charges related to a protest at the ICE building. They are facing up to 20 years in prison for allegedly “assaulting an officer” and damaging the facade of the ICE facility in SW Portland in early June. The FBI identified them by running a photo (in which their face was visible) through facial recognition search software. The photo was taken by Mark Graves, a photographer from the Oregonian.

Flock destroyed in Eugene, OR
2 Flock cameras were destroyed in so called Eugene OR the other night. Those of us responsible reject the tech bro dystopia that the city of Eugene has decided to sign up for. We refuse to live in a world that looks more like a panopticon than a free society. Cameras that track and store our every move for the ever widening eye of the empire will be brought down no matter how many time the city repairs them. Flock cameras do not protect us they only protect the wealthy and their property who look down on us in the south hills as if they were better than us. They do nothing to stop the abuses we see each day, such as our friends having their only earthly possessions stolen by the city parks department under the approving gaze of the cops. Flock can only be used against us. It was revealed just this week that Flock was used to track down a woman who had a self managed abortion in Texas. The only answer is to smash Flock cameras everywhere and we will do just that.

FIRE AT HILLSBORO DATA CENTER
On Thursday, May 23rd, a thick cloud of putrid black smoke rose over Hillsboro, OR. The smoke was from an early morning fire at one of the massive data centers based in the city. According to local media, the fire originated from batteries inside the Digital Realty (PDX 11) data center. Unfortunately, the flames did not spread to the rest of the data center and the damage was minimal. Firefighters let the fire burn itself out for five hours. The fire caused major disruptions on the web, including big outages to X/Twitter, which was reportedly one of the companies leasing space at the data center. There is currently no public information about the cause of the fire.
Hillsboro, Portland’s Western neighbor, is home to several major data centers that are the engines of digital control and technological domination. Incentivized by tax breaksand lax regulations, Hillsboro (AKA the Silicon Forest) has become an important international hub for the tech industry. Data centers and chip manufacturer like Intel have expanded their footprint there in recent years, and the AI boom is likely to bring in more new construction. This rapid expansion requires hugely increased power supply; the upgrade of existing transmission infrastructure, the installation of new “green” energy facilities in Eastern Oregon, and even proposals to construct nuclear power plants along the Columbia river. Portland General Electric (PGE) planned on clearcutting several acres in Forest Park to make way for new high-voltage pylons. From Against the Silicon Forest: “These power lines are designed to bring power to the Silicon Forest, most notably given the timing of this expansion, to Intel, whose largest operating hub lies just a short distance west of Forest Park.” The project is currently in limbo, awaiting the next action from PGE (PGE can choose to appeal the land use ruling and win approval from the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals).

Running a Bail Fund: An Introduction
“This documentation is intended to share knowledge
about operating a bail fund to support protestors. While
it discusses legal, jail, and prison support, bail is the
primary focus. Our experience is around operating a bail
fund for protestors arrested at a series of related protests.
We are not experienced with running a permanent bail
fund for a broader range of arrestees, although much of
guide is applicable beyond supporting protestors.”

Fire Destroys Mansion Under Construction
[FROM MAINSTREAM MEDIA]
A large fire destroyed a 12,000-square-foot single-family home in east Clark County early Sunday morning, fire officials said.
Just after 4:37 a.m., firefighters from East County Fire and Rescue were called out to a construction site on Northeast Livingston Mountain Circle.
The first crews found a fully involved fire at the home, still under construction. Wind from the east caused problems, and one nearby house was threatened as the fire burned vegetation around the two-story home being built.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation by the Clark County Fire Marshal’s Office.

This Rose Has Thorns 2024: A year of anarchic attacks in so-called Portland
A few years ago, in the aftermath of the George Floyd rebellion in Portland, a zine was made chronicling the autonomous attacks that proliferated across the city as public
demonstrations increasingly became a dead end. Feeling
inspired by the daring attacks against authority that occurred
in 2024, we decided to create an (incomplete) compilation zine. Some of the attacks listed here were explicitly claimed by anarchists, while others were done by perpetrators with
unknown motivations, but whose actions we think are of
interest to anarchists. All of the attacks mentioned here took
place outside of publicly announced events.
Here’s to a 2025 full of joy and destruction! Long Live Anarchy!
