 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The upcoming NATO military exercise Steadfast Defender, the largest since the end of the Cold War, is preparing a total NATO war mobilisation against Russia. The same day that Ford announced the cuts, the S&P 500 stock index reached its highest level in history. Wall Street is salivating over the prospect of interest rate cuts and the use of artificial intelligence to cut jobs and force down wages. IYSSE members spoke to workers at Warren Truck Assembly Plant about the layoff of hundreds of Detroit area Stellantis Supplemental Employees following last month's UAW sellout agreement. After blocking strike action by 1,500 Allison Transmission workers in Indianapolis for two months, the United Auto Workers pushed through a second sellout agreement this week. With each passing day, there is growing evidence that Israeli troops are functioning as mobile mass execution parties in Gaza. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer gave the keynote speech, using it to denounce mass protests against Israel's genocide in Gaza as antisemitic. The glowing reception by the crowd, which ostensibly gathers the more "respectable" layers of the oligarchy and establishment, adds to the signs of a shift toward fascism in the entire ruling class. The objective necessity for socialism is established in the facts and figures contained in two reports prepared for the meeting of the global elites in Davos, Switzerland, this week. This is the tribute given by Johannes Stern to Halil Çelik, founder and leader of the Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu, who died suddenly at the age of 57 on December 31, 2018. The tribute was read at a memorial meeting on the fifth anniversary of Halil's death. Unable to come to terms with House Republicans on funding federal departments nearly four months into the 2024 fiscal year, the Democrats provided the necessary votes to keep the government operating until the first week of March. Films like Past Lives achieve recognition and even a certain popularity these days in part because of what they are not. The Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei welcomes the mobilization against the Alternative for Germany. However, it must not only be directed against the AfD, but against the government that is adopting the fascists' programme and paving the way for them. A Boeing 747-8 cargo plane headed for Puerto Rico was forced to turn around shortly after takeoff on Thursday night and return to Miami International Airport after one of its jet engines caught fire. On January 13, over one thousand protesters in Oakland and San Francisco organized to block port operations. Labor's increasingly fraught agenda means imposing the burden of war preparations onto workers and youth, who have already suffered the greatest cut to living conditions since the last world war. The court ruling and CEB's witch-hunting of workers foreshadows even deeper anti-democratic, government attacks against employees at other state-owned enterprises earmarked for privatisation. Migrant workers constitute a significant and heavily exploited section of the Malaysian working class who are often enticed to the country with promises of jobs that never materialise. Philippines jeepney drivers hold one-day national strike; Bangladeshi tea estate workers walkout over seven demands; Australia: Victoria paramedics reject government pay offer, threaten statewide industrial action. The DOJ review of the police response to the May, 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School adds little to what was already known and holds no one to account for deaths that should have been prevented.
