 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Corporations are seeking to boost profits by cutting labor costs and squeezing more production out of fewer workers. The strike was the largest single-day death toll in Lebanon since the beginning of Israel's assault on Gaza. Since October 7, Israeli forces have killed more than 200 people inside of Lebanon. The German government and armed forces are doing everything in order to be able to conduct a war against the nuclear power Russia in the near future. The sole purpose of this political gesture, which may simply be tabled in the Senate, is to appease Donald Trump and House fascists like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Whitmer released her budget recommendation for 2025 last week, with support from the corporate media, falsely claiming it prioritizes "issues that make a real difference in people's lives." That Prabowo, who is responsible for numerous atrocities, could stand in Wednesday's election and is not behind bars, is a graphic exposure of the "democracy" established after the end of the Suharto dictatorship. The collapse in incomes will only worsen whichever party takes over after this year's general election, with Labour under Sir Keir Starmer positioning itself as the party of business and "iron discipline" on public spending. The House of Representatives motion did not call for the dropping of the reactionary US Espionage Act charges against the WikiLeaks founder, instead noting "the importance of the UK and USA bringing the matter to a close." The Israeli government and the New England Patriots' Robert Kraft bought TV ads during the NFL Super Bowl on Sunday to justify the Zionist assault on Gaza and label opposition to it as "antisemitism." Interim President Larry Jameson's attack on cartoonist Dwayne Booth once again attempts to conflate opposition to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine with antisemitism If waste soil said to contain toxic substances such as cyanide and sulphuric acid reaches the Euphrates River just a few hundred metres away, it could cause an environmental disaster that would last for decades in a vast area that includes war-torn Syria and Iraq as well as eastern and south-eastern Turkey. Alaattin Soydan, chairman of T. Harb-İş union, denounced strikers, declaring, "There is a desire to create chaos in the country before the local elections." The trade union bureaucracy are fearful that the rising working-class opposition to Colombo's austerity policies will rekindle the mass anti-government movement that ousted President Rajapakse and his regime in 2022. Workers at the Molson Coors brewery in Fort Worth, Texas, voted by 93 percent on Sunday to turn down a contract offer by the company and authorize strike action. As Israel began a massacre in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, the NZ opposition Labour Party's foreign affairs spokesman David Parker told protesters in Wellington that Israel had "the right to defend itself." Far from offering improvements to pay and working conditions, both Minneapolis and St. Paul school districts are threatening major budget cuts. The struggle facing TAs, researchers, and contract instructors is political. They are up against a management that is not only bitterly hostile to making any concessions to their demands, but which has vilified students as supporters of "terrorism" for their opposition to the imperialist-backed genocide by Israel in Gaza. Perhaps half the pieces are coming-of-age stories, that lyrical standby now usually written in a gritty but still rhapsodic voice.
