 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. As more and more provocative cabinet picks are announced, including Matt Gaetz for attorney general, the Democratic Party and the Biden administration are engaged in unrestrained collaboration. Israel bombs Beirut and Lebanon-Syria border, as UN declares basic foodstuffs "barely exist" in Gaza Coming as the Zionist regime continues to starve Gaza and the US military once again struck targets in Yemen, the attacks show that there is no let-up in the drive by Washington's attack dog to redraw the map of the Middle East. We are publishing here the foreword to the German translation of David North's new publication Sounding the Alarm: Socialism Against War If you want to stop the return of world war and fascism after the catastrophes of the 20th century, you must read this book.

This case is a major attack on basic democratic and legal rights, seeking to set a wider precedent to suppress any dissent against the escalating Israeli mass killings in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon. A complex and fiercely independent figure, Lee Miller reached her creative peak as a combat photographer and reporter during World War II. The demise of the Pitchfork Music Festival has provoked outrage, as attacks on art, culture and education escalate. The UC system, which will see the first major strike since the US presidential election, has emerged as a major political and social battleground.
