So a lot happened Sunday, this is being written Tuesday, and Twitter is aflame with the discourse. So let’s have an actual report back with what happened from people who were both downtown and in Northeast Portland that day. Warning: This report back has opinions.

We Went Where They Went — 8/22/21 Reportback
Reportback and analysis from the militant black bloc in Portland on August 22, 2021.
This is a reportback from some of the antifascist crews who mobilized from a rally in downtown Portland to confront proud boys and other white nationalists where they had gathered near Parkrose High School. We don’t speak for everyone who chose to go confront the fascists where they were that day, just ourselves. We are several crews with about two dozen people between us, and this reportback is the product of our discussions about how that day went.
We absolutely do not regret going to oppose fascist violence at Parkrose, but there are many ways we could have been more effective. Continue reading “We Went Where They Went — 8/22/21 Reportback”
Report Back – action in response to PPB’s murder on 6/24
Submitted Anonymously
In response to the Portland Police murder of Michael Ray Townsend on June 24, a parking lot containing multiple Portland Police Bureau squad cars was attacked. A hole was cut into the surrounding barbed wire fence, and a dozen vehicles were hit. All cars had their windows, windshields, lights and mirrors smashed, and abolitionists / anarchists messages were painted across their exteriors. A fire extinguisher filled with paint was used to completely cover multiple squad cars, as well as their interiors.
Everyday the pigs turn our public spaces into open air prisons. We call on all abolitionists to take the defunding and disarming of the pigs into their own hands.
Be bold! Sabotage is fun!
SUV Tires Deflated In Solidarity With Climate Liberation Front
Submitted Anonymously
Last night, over 100 tires on large SUVs were deflated in solidarity with recent actions by the Climate Liberation Front. From Portland to Arlington, we see ya.
An awl through the sidewall is quick and quiet.
It was hot as fuck during the day, over 110 degrees, so we took full advantage of the night. The city would never even get this hot if not for the gases these SUVs emit into the atmosphere, and the miles of dark, heat-absorbing asphalt that have been put down for them to drive on.
Fuck cars, fuck industry, let’s make a hot crime summer.
We all grieve in different ways. For us, attack was a fitting ritual to celebrate everything that was, and mourn all that could’ve been.
In loving memory of H.

somewhat lacking, we took it upon ourselves to make

Anarchist Resources on Accountability and Consent
Radical resources about sexual assault, accountability, trauma, consent, intoxication culture and assault, relationships, and kink
Zines are listed by general topic, largely in that order, after books and pamphlets.
Obviously, these topics all overlap, so zines were sorted according to what seemed the most helpful way to categorize them; every resource speaks in some way to issues of consent and sexual assault. Continue reading “Anarchist Resources on Accountability and Consent”
