 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki constitute one of the most horrific war crimes ever committed. To this day, only the US government and military, the self-proclaimed leadership of the "free world," have used nuclear weapons. Trump's violent language underscores the ongoing political crisis and the continuing transformation of the Republican Party into a fascist movement hellbent on destroying any vestiges of democracy in America. Waging wars and interventions prosecuted under their professed objective of "fighting Islamist insurgents" the imperialist powers omit the fact that Islamist militants wreaking havoc across the Sahel are the product of Washington and its allies' earlier use of them as a proxy army in the 2011 US/NATO war against Libya. Concerns expressed by Fire Brigades Union Andy Dark that "firefighters believe the Bibby Stockholm [barge] to be a potential death trap," were brushed away by the government as "politically motivated." The YGBL in Russia and Ukraine submitted a statement to the student council of Bochum University, which has voted to call upon the University administration to ban the IYSSE from campus. The DSA and the pseudo-left as a whole are an essential part of a state intervention against the working class, which is carried out primarily through the medium of the union bureaucracy, but also includes more direct methods such as injunctions, which the DSA also supports.

David Walsh and the hosts, Leila Charles Leigh and Pat The Berner, discussed the ongoing film writers' and actors' strike and the way forward for workers. Netrebko, following a favorable arbitration decision, is pursuing her claims that the Met has unfairly attacked her and jeopardized her career. The union opposed a procedural motion by a member of the Macquarie University Rank-and-File Committee to delay any vote until the union released the agreement's full details and allowed at least seven days for members to examine and discuss the document. This censorship is an outright betrayal of the democratic right to freedom of expression, underscoring the role of the trade union as the industrial police for government and corporations. Abbott announced the deployment of the marine barrier in the Rio Grande last month. The documents released last week call for New Zealand's military to be made "combat-ready," so it can join in a US-led war against China well beyond New Zealand's territory.
