Heavy rains in the lower plains of the muddy Missouri river valley are washing out roads and flooding the low bases of the bluffs. All month long we’ve helped the work along by further weakening multiple spots of the BNSF tracks heavily traveled by southbound coal trains. Our reward came quicker than expected when reports of 31 coal cars derailed in a stretch of the Mace Creek region of northwest Missouri. BNSF spokespeople have said part of the track was removed and will impact rail traffic for days. This is not enough.

We do this in solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners Marius Mason, and for Eric King, as he awaits a July 13 2015 trial for allegedly throwing an unlit incendiary device through a Missouri politician’s office window. We do this in solidarity with all prisoners and in defense of the stolen resources of this planet used to kill us. We do this for those made sick and dead and full of cancers by the forces of capitalism. When we do this we mean we have decided not to die.
