#MutualAid Is Having a Moment in #PortlandOR. Here Are 5 Initiatives to Support.
An unscientific guide to the proliferating number of groups providing aid to those in need.
By Fiona McCann June 14, 2021
"After a year and change of pandemic life, what’s left but to help each other out? Portlanders have stepped up to supply each other with everything from funds for gas bills to warm dim sum via a proliferation of mutual aid groups. There’s even a podcast now to help guide you through it all (find the #MutualAidCoalitionNorthwest on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your podcasts—for free, natch.) Here are five initiatives to restore your faith in the kindness of strangers.
Started by a 19-year-old college freshman, Tutoring Bloc offers free tutoring via Zoom to underresourced students, pairing pupils from preschool to college with volunteer tutors. They also help those interested get library cards and access to books.
#PetBlocPDXGot a pet in need of a home? Having trouble looking after your furry friends? PetBlocPDX has your back, offering supplies—pet treats, canine coats, and more—and financial assistance for pets and their people.
#PDXWoodBlocPDX Wood Bloc, who per their Twitter account are '#anarchists with no money who collect and give out wood to people in Portland,' found themselves in high demand after power outages last February prompted a mad dash for other heat sources. They continue to offer yard cleanups and firewood donations for summer campfires.
#MendingBlocFrom #Mending clothes for protesters and community members to sharing #zines on how to sew on patches, Mending Bloc also shows up with masks and pins at events, and offers to repurpose fabric into everything from balaclavas to pet vests.
So Many #FoodBlocs
It being Portland, there’s a bloc for what feels like every item in the pantry—hot potatoes (Potato Bloc) to tamales (Tamale Bloc) and more. For a full list of these and other blocs or mutual aid orgs, check out the '211 directory of PDX blocs' Bloc Bloc PDX."

Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers: #Anarchists in the Stonewall Uprising
Towards a #Queer History of Riots and Affinity Group OrganizingWhat can today’s rebels learn from the Stonewall riots? Why did the uprising have such an impact? To answer these questions, we explore the previously unacknowledged significance of at least two anarchist groups—the Motherfuckers and the Crazies—in the rebellion and the movements that emerged from it. Along the way, we trace a queer genealogy of #anarchist organizing methods in North America from the #Stonewall Uprising through the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 to today.

The comments I made here;
https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/116740511298882540
... about the intuitive appeal of libertarianism to teenagers, applies equally to anarchism.
This is a tricky claim. Because in leftish usage, 'anarchist' tends to mean 'anti-authoritarian socialist'. While 'libertarian' often means 'corporatist apologist'. Clearly these are wildly different things.
Bear with me though, I'm going somewhere with this. Hopefully somewhere useful ; )

Anarchism will always seem utopic unless one lets go of ideas like: the national identity, historical claims, living everyone under one economy, centralizing coercion (AKA trading freedom for security), and (of course) passive income. You can't just think about it the same way you'd analyze other systems. It's none.

To all the anti-#moderate, all or nothing, my way or the highway #Democrats, #liberals, #socialists, or just plain #anarchists out there - Until you find a way to bring an overwhelming majority of our diverse #country into your camp, nothing you want will be accomplished, and all your performative posturing and pontificating will be hot air. #Revolution ain't happening. Overnight #political #change ain't happening. Right now, you are just a drag on the already slow moving wheels of #progress.

A friend shared this with me. It's for real!
The top part is from page 7, the bottom part is from the forward.
From page 7 of the United States Counterterrorism Strategy:
"In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-#transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like #Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such groups and those governments undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere.
From Trump's signed forward:
"Our new U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy is a return to common sense and Peace through Strength. As I said after our first successful counterterrorism mission, just days after I was sworn back in office – if you hurt Americans, or are planning to hurt Americans, 'We Will Find You and We Will Kill You.'

Anarchistisch blok(je) 1 mei-demo
Langestraat, Brugge, vrijdag 1 mei om 10:30 CEST
📢 Ook dit jaar sluiten we achteraan aan in de traditionele 1 mei optocht in Brugge.
Wat ons betreft mag 1 mei vooral weer een strijddag zijn voor de waarden waarin we geloven.
🏴🚩 Voor solidariteit tussen de werkende klasse wereldwijd, tegen de oorlogen van staat en kapitaal!
🏴🚩 Voor een samenleving waar iedereen gelijkwaardig is ongeacht sociale klasse, afkomst, geloof,... Tegen racisme en xenofobie, tegen seksisme, tegen validisme en de structuren die deze rottigheid in stand houden!
🏴🚩 Voor de vrijheid om ons leven zelf in handen te nemen, zonder bemoeienis van managers, beroepspolitici en leidinggevenden... Voor democratie en organisatie van onderuit!
📍 Afspraak om 10u30 in de Langestraat. We stellen ons helemaal achteraan op.
Het parcours gaat als volgt: Langestraat - Hoogstraat - Burg - Philipstockstraat - Markt - Wollestraat - Rozenhoedkaai - Braambergstraat - Freren Fonteinstraat - Astridpark

That resilience can be context- and culturally dependent is what #anarchists have been saying for generations. We ourselves are an extraordinarily resilient People.
"Hanged in Chicago, beheaded in Germany, garroted in Jerez, shot in Barcelona, guillotined in Montbrison and in Paris, our dead are many; but you have not been able to destroy anarchy. " -- Emile Henry
The source of our resilience is each other. Solidarity, mutual aid, and direct action has made anarchist culture impossible to stamp out. It's like trying to stab mercury.

Last time Luke & I saw each other was 2022 -> we were chasing Justin Trudeau around BC Leg, trapped BC MLAs inside; they had to leave their cars & be snuck into chauffered cars through side doors. Then, Trudeau's private driver called cops on me - for standing 10 feet away, saying absolutely nothing & just mean glaring at her 🤣
Cops told her to just move the vehicle because I broke no laws by just glaring.Horgan & Trudeau had to move their meeting room 3 times that evening 😅 Every time we found the room they were in, we gathered outside & by doors - making a ton of noise. They kept running from one meeting room to another, like cockroaches when light is shined upon them. It was pretty hilarious how much cops they sent to try to get us to stop making noise & chasing dirty politicians inside. Absolutely ridiculous how terrified politicians are when citizens demand public transparency, public accountability & to stop being colonial capitalist wankerbutternoodles.

🏴 #BreakingTheICE: In April, #anarchists from the Twin Cities who resisted the #ICE occupation will tour the US, recounting their experiences and organizing practices. 🤝 At each stop, they will share rapid-response network tactics, explore how #Minnesota disrupted Operation Metro Surge, and draw lessons for defeating fascism through collective self-organization. 💪 Get dates and details at @CrimethInc 👉 https://en.crimethinc.com/2026/03/23/breaking-the-ice-lessons-from-the-resistance-in-minnesota-a-countrywide-speaking-tour #abolishICE #anarchism #antifascism #antifa #solidarity #selfempowerment #mutualaid #communitydefense

A true anarchist is not a knee-jerk reactionary against social convention for it's own sake. Not the one who screams 'no rules!', while trying to make everyone else follow theirs.
An anarchist has a code, a set of rules they hold themselves to, not anyone else. An anarchist is one who asks; 'who made this rule, and what purpose does it serve?' before deciding whether or not to follow it.

language is funny; we appear to need it and there seems to be no escape
i can't fault people for identifying as abolitionist, autonomist, or anti-authoritarian rather than anarchist
but it's remarkable that these days "abolitionists" can receive $100k grants while "anarchists" are on trial for literature
especially when one of the most celebrated US abolitionists was hung for insurrection in 1859
what's in a name, really?
