From Evidence to Extremism: How Our City Council Failed Us
We discuss the worrying trend of our local political leaders making public policy decisions based on bad science, conspiracy theories, and personal agendas. Actively ignoring the will of their constituents. Their most recent move in this vein was to vote to remove the fluoride from our municipal water supply here in Aberdeen. This will negatively impact public health in a place with already abysmal health stats. It will also primarily harm those who are already marginalized and vulnerable such as the poor in our City. This may seem like small potatoes, but this City Council has been actively harming residents of this City for years now, it is time to consider what can be done to counter this destructive institution.

Aberdeen City Council To Ban Sitting Or Lying Down City-Wide
At the very end of a rather bland City council meeting Council member Deb Hodgkin proposed something that is going to effect everyone in Aberdeen. It turns out the brand new enforcement area for their No Sit-No Lie ordinance is not big enough, people are just setting up outside of the specified boundary. After some discussion they took a vote and the motion passed 7-4. In this article we break down the meeting’s highlights.

Aberdeen's Eugenics Policies
Yesterday about one hundred unhoused individuals were displaced by the City Government of Aberdeen, Washington. They were not provided with places to go but told that they are just not allowed to camp at threat of arrest.
This article examines the eviction and the newly enforceable City ordinances that ban camping in public and sitting and lying down in Aberdeen's downtown during the day.
We also look to the future and consider what this means for winter.
As anarchists we do not believe that faith can be put in the City to act in the best interest of anyone but those already in power. Those with money. So we rely on ourselves and our community for resilience in the face of such violent actions as were taken yesterday.
Each of the City officials, workers, and police who made this possible have the blood of the unhoused on their hands.
Aberdeen’s Eugenics Policies
They did it.
They actually did it.
The City of Aberdeen actually evicted the unhoused encampment from its spot down under the bridge, kicking everyone out permanently, removing all the infrastructure such as restrooms and dumpsters, and forcing people to disperse throughout the city. Some will hopefully find a place to go; a friend's couch, an uncle's backyard, an

Solitude VS Isolation
We draw these two into distinct categories and then examine the harmful nature of isolation in contrast to the healing fount of solitude.
We do not mean to escape anything, but to fight for it.
Solitude VS Isolation
From Thoreau to Fiorina:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
"There is another solitude, perhaps more understood, more naturally respected, than that of the hermit. It is when

Little Boxes in Need of a Hammer
The act of relating to another human is inherently anarchistic at its core, relationship anarchy (RA) is the act of realizing this fundamental truth. It is our nature to love hard and love many.
