“This zine is a collection of one year’s worth of anarchic, anticapitalist and abolitionist attacks in so-called Portland, Oregon.
We focus only on attacks and actions that took place
anonymously and secretly, outside of any protest, march or
demonstration. Everything within comes from communiques,
news articles and press releases found online.

“A little while ago, we came across Troublemakers Guide to Rose City, a zine full of ways to sabotage the system that kills and breaks us. With no digital version available, and the information within
somewhat lacking, we took it upon ourselves to make
Troublemakers Guide to Rose City #2, Sabotaging Everyday Life.
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”

Late April 12th, while the pigs were busy attempting to control a rowdy demo at the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, the opportunity was seized to attack. The chainlink fence surrounding the parking lot of the Portland Police Bureau’s traffic offices in St John’s was cut through. Tires were slashed and windows were broken on multiple police vehicles, and side mirrors were smashed off. Continue reading “Attack on Portland Police vehicles during simultaneous protest”
A year ago, when the Covid-19 pandemic first made itself felt, some anarchists on occupied Duwamish Territory (Seattle) put out calls for decentralized actions on May 1st, the fighting holiday of the working classes.
We return to that idea with new perspectives and experiences. Taking up the call: “This May Day we invite organizations, crews, and individuals to take the initiative and plan actions reflecting our diverse and interconnected struggles.” Continue reading “May Day is Our Day: A Decentralized Callout”

Against the anarchist celebrity: In a culture which creates fame and lets it thrive there will never be a total abolition of hierarchies, even the idea of a “anarchist celebrity” is a oxymoron. Fame lets the word of a celebrity or someone with clout be put above anyone else making it easy for a normally random shitty person become even worse and even shittier, letting abusers and creeps thrive.

In solidarity with decentralized actions around the world on March 6, we took to the streets of so-called Portland to dismantle parking meters armed with nothing but spray paint and expanding foam. Continue reading “Liberated Parking in Northwest Portland Neighborhoods”

On the day of President Joe Biden’s inauguration, dozens of protesters in Portland, Oregon, marched to the state Democratic Party’s headquarters, carrying signs against police and the incoming administration. “We don’t want Biden, we want revenge,” one of them read, “for police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres.” A few protesters, dressed all in black and with their faces covered, smashed windows, scrawled graffiti, and set a trash canister on fire.
It was a familiar scene in Portland, which was gripped by more than four months of almost-uninterrupted protests last summer following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Local police, under the leadership of Portland’s Democratic mayor, had met those protests with tear gas and violence. But as the city became the epicenter of a nationwide protest movement of historic proportions, it also became a symbol of former President Donald Trump’s battle against antifa, the far-left, radical ideology those black-clad protesters had come to represent. At the height of the protests, Trump sent dozens of federal troops to Portland, where they doubled down on local police’s repression, at one point disappearing demonstrators into unmarked vans. The administration also devoted significant resources to a failed attempt to build its case against antifa, short for anti-fascists, which officials tried to designate as a terrorist organization. As part of that effort, they reassigned scores of prosecutors and FBI agents who had been focused on other threats, like the one posed by far-right extremists — an intelligence failure that was put on stark display when supporters of the president staged an assault on the U.S. Capitol days before he left office.
