House Resolution 1 (H.R. 1), otherwise known as Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," exemplifies the continued officiation of the malicious intent of the capitalist ruling class. Wherever profit can be extracted, the capitalists hold the inhumane belief that individuals of the diverse and numerous proletarian masses are expendable. It's our responsibility to rally to the defense of the queer community and, in defiant solidarity, resist the bourgeoisie's plan to discard trans people as the next casualties of consolidation.

On June 4, Cincinnati City Council released a report with more superficial ways the council could “support immigrant communities.” The report listed four actions for the council to take, none of which involved eliminating the entity actually threatening immigrant communities: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In June 2025, a bulletin calling for a "Sit-Down Wave" began circulating within 50501-focused online spaces. The bulletin, titled "Protect the Peaceful Protest," lists five rules that suggest protesters very literally sit down, shut up, and obey. This is not only counter-productive; it is dangerous. The state does not care whether its victims stand, sit, or kneel.

Reports have confirmed that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) arrested multiple people in East Price Hill during the first weekend of June. This was not an isolated assault, but part of a broader pattern of state violence and neglect. These arrests bring the number of immigrants held against their will in Butler County Jail, a known ICE contractor, to over 300.

Every month, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza reaches new levels of devastation. The so-called "aid corridor" at the Rafah border remains a PR stunt. Despite international promises, aid is not reaching the people who need it. Those who make their way to humanitarian aid sites are shot and killed in cold blood by the Israeli military.

As historical materialists, Marxists see gender norms, roles, and hierarchies as both originating in, and playing an active role in, class struggle. Socialism will be a foundation to build a world that fosters “your own right to explore and define who you are” because for us, socialism means the real historical defeat of every social form that hems in and suppresses this very right.

While the state continues to shield Israel from accountability, the people of Ohio are making it clear: we do not consent to our tax dollars funding genocide. The laws may be written against us, but history is not. From Cincinnati to Gaza, liberation will be won by the organized and uncompromising struggle of the international proletariat.

Theocracy — the fusion of religious authority and political power — has resurfaced as a potent force in American public life. Though the First Amendment famously calls for a separation of church and state, today's Christian nationalist movement presses ever harder against that barrier, seeking to remake U.S. democracy in the image of a "divinely ordained" and "morally correct" republic. These theocratic impulses threaten both our democratic institutions and the possibility of a unified working class struggle. In order to better understand theocracy, it is necessary to first understand its history. And to resist it, we must organize for a secular and socialist future.

History has shown that acts of individual terror are an ineffective—and, indeed, counterproductive—means of achieving revolutionary ends. Only organized political action by the broad masses can remove the yolk of capitalism and the bourgeois state from our necks. We insist that only a people united against exploitation can never be defeated. However, we also say that the full moral and political culpability for such individual actions falls on the shoulders of the oppressor, whether that oppressor is a capitalist firm, a police department, or an imperialist nation.

Cincinnati City Council moves forward with widely-opposed Hyde Park development, as well as works to protect cops’ data.

Solidarity with the Palestinian resistance must be uncompromising. There is no middle ground between imperialism and liberation. The Palestinian cause demands internationalist, anti-imperialist, and socialist solidarity, not performative slogans and conditional support. 

Condemning Rodney Hinton Jr. and at the same time justifying the murder of his son, Ryan Hinton, is a betrayal of the people. Anyone who carries water for the oppressors by recognizing their violence as legitimate while declaring resistance or retaliation unacceptable objectively works against the interests of the people. Rodney Hinton Jr. staked his life to avenge his son and stood in a courtroom without fear and with all of his convictions knowing he could be put to death for his actions; that in itself is commendable.
