ICE promised doxing cases against Portland ‘anarchists.’ Months later, no charges filed

From Oregon Public Broadcasting

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem set expectations high in July... she had promised swift legal action against “anarchists” and “Antifa-affiliated groups” who allegedly circulated the names, pictures and addresses of ICE officers in the city. Citing flyers of agents’ personal information and a photo of trash piled up on an officer’s lawn, she blamed unnamed politicians for “actively encouraging these attacks.”

A Novel of an Anarchist Nursing Home Run by 1970s Punks

From Portland Monthly

Fleeing Child Protective Services, Nola brings James to an intergenerational assisted living home run by her music teacher, Caz. “Youngs” live rent free if they care for the “olds.” Twentysomethings bogged down with college debt and seniors who can’t afford the outrageous cost of traditional assisted living help each other out. Caz inherited the woodsy minimansion-turned-nursing-home, which is in various states of disrepair.

WHILE MISERY EXISTS, WE CHOOSE REBELLION

Everyone who has lived here knows that there are two Portlands: the Portland of the wealthy elite and their yuppie lackeys and the Portland of the poor, of the rabble. The architects of this misery are trying to ease the tension building on the fault line between these two cities using political games, counter-cultural branding, rainbow washing, and welfare “services” that amount to breadcrumbs laid in a mouse trap.

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. To move forward, she argues, we need to change tactics.

A Public Letter Regarding Some Impasses in Portland

From Rose City Counter-Info

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.
