Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Not one of the assembled journalists raised the criminal role of the Biden administration in the Israeli mass murder in Gaza. On Friday, the US Defense Department announced it was sending its largest weapons order to Ukraine to date, totaling $6 billion, after President Joe Biden signed into law a $95 billion military spending bill last Wednesday. Marles' visit confirmed that Australia is now providing lethal aid to Ukraine, making it a de facto participant in the US-NATO conflict with Russia. All workers and youth opposed to genocide and the many students now returning to campus must take forward a struggle independently from and against the trade union bureaucracy, and all those appealing to the "political establishment". At the top of the list of US demands was the insistence that China assist the US and its NATO allies in crippling the Russian economy, particularly its war industries. The Japanese government is working to gain an understanding of where Trump stands on the war drive against China and to ensure Tokyo is not left in the lurch should he win the US presidency. As the series progresses, historians and critics of US foreign policy are replaced by some—for lack of a better phrase—of the world's leading war criminals. Workers and young people must pick up the gauntlet thrown down by the government and the police. Protest must be mounted wherever asylum snatches are made, outside detention centres and at airports. Mobilizing the working class internationally to halt the genocide requires breaking with the nationalist outlook of pseudo-left groups that subordinate workers to the Spanish capitalist state. Fearing a merger of the movement of students against war and genocide with workers' struggles, the U-M lecturers' union leadership defied a strike authorization vote and hurriedly signed a tentative agreement that fails to meet the workers' demands. The CFPE forum called for educators to mobilise against the imperialist-backed genocide in Gaza and the accompanying crackdown on democratic rights. This column profiles important historical events which took place during this week, 25 years ago, 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago. The new contract for workers at MASS MoCA, highly regarded and one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art and performing arts in the US, raises wages to only $18 an hour, leaving workers earning well below a living wage. The Day of Mourning and the stated purposes behind it has been in effect for 34 years. Yet at our workplace alone, four people, brothers Andrew Kenmuir, Fraser Cowan, Colin Grayley, Quoc Le, have been gruesomely killed in 20 years—three of them in less than two.
