Trump’s Economic Policies: Road to Ruin
Donald Trump, with his lack of decorum revealing his white supremacist agenda, is following the Project 2025 playbook laid out for him by the Heritage Foundation (the same playbook presented to and utilized by every president in some form or fashion for decades). It calls for the prevention of working class solidarity, implementation of austerity measures, cutting funding to essential programs that help workers, deportation of immigrants, investing of tax dollars into stocks and crypto currencies, and the overall plunging of America into a trade war against the rest of the world.
The Worker and the Marionette: What Marxism Has to Say about Artificial Intelligence
“It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day’s toil of any human being.”

The Limits of Liberal Environmentalism: Why Environmental Movements Must Be Revolutionary
Climate change is not a novel idea. The hypothesis that rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could be correlated to rising global temperatures was documented by scientists as far back as the 1930s. In 1965, Lyndon B Johnson was the first American president warned of climate change by scientists. As early as the late 1950s, the oil industry began to understand the impact of fossil fuels on climate; internal memos from Exxon in the late 70’s showed that the company was well aware that their products would have “dramatic environmental effects before the year 2050.”
No Climate Justice Without Proletarian Power
Cop Cities are not about “public safety.” They are paramilitary training facilities, constructed not to protect communities, but to prepare for war against them — especially Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. These are domestic counterinsurgency bases designed to train police in urban warfare, crowd control, and repression tactics. They exist to crush uprising, suppress ecological resistance, and neutralize future rebellions against a dying capitalist order.
And Then They Came for the Students: Trump’s War on Public Education
Trump’s defunding of the US Department of Education (DOE) is an attack on the entire working class, especially those who require the aid programs that the DOE has been able to provide under previous administrations. Free quality public education should be made available to every child no matter their race, disability, or socioeconomic status.
April Palestine Update
Around the US, pro-Palestine students, organizers, and protesters are being arrested on trumped up immigration charges and other related offenses. From Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University in New York to Rumeysa Ozturk at Tufts University in Massachusetts, student after student, teacher after teacher continues to stand up for the people of Palestine in the face of repression by the bourgeois police state. These arrests are being carried out in broad daylight by non uniformed officers.
Burnet Woods Dog Park: Taxpayer Money Literally Going to the Dogs
Since 2020, there’s been a battle between the Cincinnati Parks Board and Clifton citizens over plans to convert 8,800 square feet of Burnet Woods into a dog park. In that amount of time, the Cincinnati Parks Board has been inundated by at least a thousand emails and messages from opponents of the project. However, no matter how much negative feedback the project receives, the Park Board trudges on with plans to construct the dog park, highlighting how easy it is for bourgeois political powers to outright ignore the will of the people.
For Profit Healthcare: Why the Bourgeoisie Protects Mass-Murdering Profiteers
American citizens of all backgrounds are aware that the United States’ healthcare system is rife with inequality, needless complexity, and exorbitant expenses. What the wealthy and the bourgeoisie fail to comprehend is how the working class — who are inundated with the violence of medical debt and denied claims — would rightfully celebrate the assassination of former UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The common sentiment of citizens has been that he deserved to die for the suffering his company has inflicted on the 7.5 million people that are supposedly covered by their insurance.
Trump Invokes the Alien Enemies Act of 1798
Hundreds of immigrants have been deported around the country after President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 for the first time since World War II. Using a centuries-old wartime law to target alleged members of a Venezuelan gang (Tren De Aragua), the new administration continues to arrest, detain, and deport more and more people while the bourgeois media focuses on legal battles against the administration that will take months to resolve.
