Three Rail fires in three months: some facts and thoughts

From Rose City Counter-Info

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. No arrests have been made, and to our knowledge, none of these actions have been accompanied by any claim or explanation.

But the world around us is the only explanation we need.

Suggested tactical improvements – a response to Some Anarchists letter

From Rose City Counter-Info

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 not shut ICE down or shifted power.

A valiant rite,
yet the building still hums with its cruel machinery.

Grow Your Own Free Skool (Guide and Zine)!

From Neighborhood Anarchist Collective

What is FreeSkool?

Rooted in anarchist theory and inspired by the Escuela Moderna (Modern School) of the 1900s, Toronto’s Anarchist Free University (AFU), and Free Skool Santa Cruz, free skool (or free school) is a place-based, grassroots educational project built on non-monetary exchange with the aim of creating a network of skill, information, and knowledge sharing. In practice, free skool can take many different forms, from anti-capitalist lectures and reading groups to skill shares on bike repair, mending clothing, and urban foraging. In contrast to traditional educational institutes, free skool is built on the belief that everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student.

From Puget Sound Anarchists

In the early morning hours of July 23rd, an Insitu van was set ablaze while it sat in an empty lot across from their office in Hood River, OR.

Last week, to commemorate the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, under the cover of darkness a small incendiary device was placed on the wheel arc of a Vertiv truck located on the edge of a sleepy office park in Milwaukie OR.
