 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The bill signed into law Wednesday by Biden provides a combined $95 billion in additional war spending in Ukraine against Russia, in Israel and against China. The camps are part of far-reaching plans for an assault on the southernmost city of Gaza, where more than half the population has fled for shelter. The WSWS is providing on-the-ground coverage of the developing protest movement against the genocide in Gaza and the state crackdown on democratic rights. Speaker Mike Johnson and fellow far-right Republicans visited Columbia University and demanded the resignation of university President Shafik and the shuttering of a student encampment. Facing a military debacle, the Ukrainian government is desperately trying to force more men into the carnage on behalf of imperialism. Speaking in front of an armoured vehicle and alongside NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Warsaw, Poland, Sunak said the increase in military spending "is a turning point for European security and a landmark moment in the defence of the United Kingdom." The Parti de l'égalité socialiste condemns police prosecutions of union officials and members of the France Unbowed party over their statements in solidarity with Gaza. The event ws a major effort to promote the union apparatus which functions as a central pillar of class rule. The peak union body statement is an exercise in political damage control, aimed at covering over the fact that Australia's unions continue to prevent any action by workers against the Zionist genocide. The article presented below was published to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. It explains how the Socialist Party and the Communist Party of Portugal, assisted by pseudo-left groups that served as appendages to the main labour bureaucracies, were responsible for its defeat. Every day the harsh austerity measures being pursued by the government of fascistic President Javier Milei bring Argentina closer to all-out class war. In oral arguments on Monday, comments by the six justices who comprise the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court suggested they would overturn a lower court injunction that protects unhoused people in Grants Pass, Oregon from being arrested for sleeping in public. While funnelling ever-more quantities of sophisticated arms to Ukraine, Washington is now demanding that China assist in crippling Russia's industrial capacity and thus the Russian military. All the circumstances point to a politically-charged and timed police and intelligence operation, directly backed by of the Albanese Labor government. The response of the CEB trade unions to the suspension of 62 of their members is another demonstration that the working class cannot rely on the trade unions and their leaders to defend their democratic and social rights. The line of the feminist commentators is profoundly reactionary, denying the responsibility of governments for the social and mental health crisis and promoting sweeping police powers. The series is a slap in the face of contemporary cultural backwardness and degradation, and for that alone, Zaillian deserves credit. While no one was injured in the incident, it is likely firefighters, railroaders and residents were exposed to the carcinogenic smoke and soot. It took a crew of London firefighters around an hour-and-a-half to put out the flames. Conditions in Berlin's so-called "Ukraine Arrival Centre TXL" are intolerable. In early March, one of the large tents being used even stood in flames.
