Let us use this Indigenous People’s Day to remind ourselves that the genocide of the indigenous people’s of the Americas is ongoing to this day. Let us remember that this MUST be a central point in our analysis of the conditions of the settler-colonial capitalist state.
Cincy folks, rally of Pr*ud B*ys walking around downtown, possibly headed towards the Reggae Wednesday festival in Fountain Square. If you or anyone you know are there, please be careful and let the event organizers know.
The US is the number 1 polluter and agent of climate change in the world and working to overthrow the most sustainable developed country.
An attack on Cuba is an attack on the environment.
Cuba has historically supported anti-colonial liberation struggles materially, even sending their own people to fight for the freedom of others.
An attack on Cuba is an attack on colonized people everywhere.
In the year of George Floyd, Cincinnati negotiated better accountability for police misconduct in order to enhance the rule of law. Our GOP leaders instead are planning to bless the vigilante actions that Zimmerman used to kill Trayvon Martin. We have very different values.
If we really want to get rid of the culture of corruption, abolish city council and strip executive powers from the mayor. Build a system in which the people have the power to make decisions themselves.
The hyper-individualism of capitalist ideology is conducive to corruption. Coupled with a council of 9(+1) that has essentially no accountability to the people whatsoever, the democratic process has no face in Cincinnati. Putting 3 individuals in jail does not solve the problem.
Capitalist land development destroys the land and uses it to recreate violent white supremacist capitalism. The fact that one third of City Council is in jail right now on corruption charges related to land development is a double-insult to the people they claim to represent.
This is a sad day for our city. If the allegations are true, a new member of Council needs to be appointed to move forward with the many pressing issues facing our community. My prayers go out to Councilmember Sittenfeld’s family.
