Restocked a few books, and got copies of a new one, Heather Mayer's "Beyond the Rebel Girl: Women and the Industrial Workers of the World in the Pacific Northwest, 1905-1924," which features chapters on Seattle anarchists Becky Beck and Louise Olivereau.

On July 6, 1968 Enrico Travaglio died. Travaglio was a tireless anarchist agitator, printer, and publisher. He edited and published several anarchist newspapers, including Tacoma’s “Why?”, which we’ve anthologized in a single hardback edition. louisecrowleylibrary.org/why

What did anarchists/radicals/antifascists do poorly during the Trump admin, and how can those things be done better in the future?

On July 4, 1997, the Animal Liberation Front freed 4000 mink from the David Smith Mink Farm in Cle Elum, Washington. The farm did not survive this action.

On July 3, 1921, the accursed snitch Donald Vose got spit on by Home, WA resident Gaston Lance at a community baseball game. This would be the last time that Vose attempted to visit the anarchist community before his comical death. louisecrowleylibrary.org/donald-vose

On July 2, 1967, Floyd Turner was convicted of burning an American flag, despite the fact that Seattle anarchist Stan Iverson admitted burning the flag with another man. Eventually the Washington Supreme Court exonerated Turner. louisecrowleylibrary.org/stan-iverson

Was it more ridiculous when Washington made Criminal Anarchy illegal, or more ridiculous when Washington made Criminal Anarchy legal? You can now get a shirt to support this project and celebrate (or mourn) Washington state making Criminal Anarchy legal. louisecrowleylibrary.org/shirt

On June 26, 1908, the headquarters of the Seattle Theosophical Society were raided under suspicion of bomb making. The City Chemist decided that they were not making bombs. louisecrowleylibrary.org/anarchists-deny-that-they-manufacture-bombs

People who were involved with Free Schools (and the like) in the early 2000s, what were the pros and cons? Why isn't this form utilized anymore?

"A prison is a running sore in society; a prisoner a finger of shame pointed at its heart. Each prison is a confession that society has failed to just that degree that it accepts jails and turnkeys and police as a standard part of its social organization." louisecrowleylibrary.org/a-prison-note
