Over the last three months, three rail bridges have been damaged or destroyed by fires in the Oregon and Washington area. Each of these fires was set intentionally.

Hey there,I’m Rebel Rabbit and I reviewed the Rose city counter info blog post from Some Anarchist. I’d like to offer a Clearer Argument (based on Some Anarchists piece). Some points out that protests at the ICE office have become stuck in a loop: people show up, clash with feds, leave, and repeat. This has …

My dearest brambles,Regarding the ICE ERO Field Office: we know the air there, thick with rot.Each night, a handful wait until the kitted-out feds kick their asses,then limp away, to try again,as if only repetition is the ritual needed to conjure change.A valiant rite,yet the building still hums with its cruel machinery.

On May 2, 2024, in a joint press conference with the Portland Police Bureau and PSU President Ann Cudd, Mayor Ted Wheeler denounced the militant solidarity actions of the Student Intifada, claiming: “If you believe that damaging these businesses or trashing a library on a university campus will impact events in the Middle East, you …
The spirit of the Intifada swarmed through the Portland State University (PSU) library as a whirlwind. Computers, printers, and televisions made with Coltan, a mineral extracted via slave labor in the Congo, had been smashed throughout the first floor. Commodified food and drinks were transformed into becoming free stuff that anyone can take to consume …
