Why?: A Tacoma Anarchist Newspaper
It is the dog in revolt that makes history, the philosopher, at his best, merely writes it, and often writes it badly.

Reflections from the Salish Sea
In the following text, participants review the history of port blockades in the Puget Sound, share their experience at the protest, and seek to offer inspiration for continued transoceanic solidarity.
On November 3rd, we got word of the inspiring action down in Oakland where people were blocking a Merchant Mariner ship delivering weapons to Israel, we were filled with joy and excitement! Not long after, we got word the ship was going to be coming to the Port of Tacoma on Sunday and a call went out for people to come block the boat.

Tacoma’s first Anarchist Book Fair in more than a decade was a big success. A month of postering around Tacoma and boosting to social media and signal groups filled Tacoma’s new radical social space with an eager crowd on the evening of Friday, September 22. New friendships were forged and old relationships rekindled while slinging stacks of anarchist literature and slurping a variety of free soups.

The night of 1/23 a video went viral of Tacoma pigs breaking up a side show and ramming thru a crowd, directly running over one person. Two people ended up hospitalized from this event. I’m not interested in discourse on whether people were blocking the car, attacking it, or the police were ‘afraid for their lives’ or whatever. The pigs should always be afraid for their lives and if people chose to attack the pigs when they tried to break up their fun, all the more power to them.
