 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. As the struggle against Macron continues, workers clearly face not a trade union struggle to change his mind, but a political struggle against the capitalist state, to bring down Macron. The increase in profits for the major banks further underscores the class-war agenda which is at the centre of the interest rate hikes by the Fed. Police justified Moret's arrest by citing his participation in protests by millions of workers against French President Emmanuel Macron's unilateral raising of the retirement age against the popular will and without a vote in parliament. The Postal Workers Rank-and-File Committee met Sunday April 16 and passed the resolution "Vote No to CWU pro-company deal—organise the rank-and-file fightback against Royal Mail!" Victory depends on the formation of workers' own representative organisations, rank-and-file committees, independent of the structures of the union and run by the most trusted workers. The pseudo-left electoral coalition is providing a political platform for ardent supporters of the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine. The cancellation of the Montreal meeting is anti-democratic, sets a dangerous precedent, and serves to strengthen Canadian imperialism in its predatory war against Russia. PSAC represents the largest unionized group of federal government workers. A strike would seriously affect a wide array of services, including revenue and taxation, immigration and citizenship, veterans affairs, and the functioning of Service Canada facilities.

The Democrats have responded to the exposure of boundless personal corruption and political reaction on the high court with an effort to effect a cosmetic tightening of ethics rules, so as to shore up collapsing public confidence in the court and every other institution of the state. The fixation of the corporate media and political establishment on the role racism may have played in the tragic shooting in Kansas City serves to conceal the root cause of gun violence in America.
