 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The essential task posed before Assange's supporters is to link his defence to the mass movement emerging in opposition to these crimes. The same eruption of militarism and aggression fuelling the persecution of Assange is producing a mass radicalisation among workers and young people. While more details will emerge in the coming days, what is certain is that cost-cutting and profiteering played a central role in the disaster. The numerous incidents on Boeing aircraft in the past three months reflect the drive of the company's executives to maximize profits for stockholders to the detriment of safety on its fleet of commercial airliners. The moral outrage over the La Presse cartoon has nothing to do with opposition to antisemitism. Rather, it serves to legitimize Israel's genocidal policies, intimidate public opinion and sow confusion among workers and young people. Several hundred people turned out Sunday in Toronto for yet another weekend of protests calling for the Canadian government to stop supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza. If ISIS or one of its offshoots actually committed the attack in Moscow, this does not speak against but for the complicity of Ukraine and NATO. Shanahan, 38, is a longtime donor to Democratic Party campaigns and was formerly married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, the 10th wealthiest person in the world. The IYSSE at U-M condemns the latest moves by the administration, including the threat of expulsion, to intimidate and silence opposition to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The ruling class is desperately seeking to undermine democratic consciousness and popular opposition to the military in order to prepare a return to dictatorial forms of rule. The WSWS spoke with Liz French from Betteshanger, a former pit village in the Kent coalfield in south-east England. Liz was a founding member of the National Women Against Pit Closures during the 1984-85 Miner's Strike. Among the 200 miners imprisoned during the 1984-85 strike, Liz's late husband Terry received one of the longest prison sentences of five years. The British Medical Association junior doctors' leadership presents the Labour controlled Welsh Assembly as a supposed ally in a fight against the Sunak Conservative government in Westminster. "They're trying to make it harder for minority parties to exist—it's crazy. I'm for our voices being heard, normal people, not the billionaires sponsoring all the other parties." This legislation marks a further lurch in a right-wing, autocratic direction, spearheaded by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor government. The Congressional Budget Office director has warned the US could face a Liz Truss style financial crisis. The two main big-business parties have offered nothing but empty populist pledges while ignoring the major issues facing the working class. Stellantis is continuing its ruthless cost-cutting drive, slashing jobs as it offloads the cost of EV transition onto workers. Television news reporter Ibrahim Samra has filed a lawsuit against CBS News and its Detroit affiliate WKBD for excluding his reporting and then firing him for objecting to its pro-Israel coverage of the Gaza genocide. On its second album without the drummer who helped define it, Sleater-Kinney seems enervated and uninspired.
