 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Three weeks have passed since Steiner posted on permanent-revolution.org a slanderous letter provided by an agent-provocateur. Steiner's default response to the WSWS's exposure of his deceitful attempt to justify his provocation is to tell more lies. No one should be under any illusion that in reopening diplomatic relations with Russia, the Trump administration is seeking peace in Europe, much less the world. Rather, he is seeking a redeployment of military resources from the European theater for use in the domination of the Americas and ultimately focusing on the central target of US military aggression: China. Patel's chief qualification in leading the largest federal domestic police/intelligence agency is his unswerving loyalty to Trump and his program of fascist retribution. WSWS reporters spoke to federal workers and supporters about the impact of mass layoffs and the struggle against dictatorship. Hundreds of workers and young people turned out for the funeral of nine-year-old Darnell Currie and two-year-old Amillah Currie in Detroit on Thursday, in an outpouring of public sympathy for the two homeless children who froze to death sheltering in a van parked in a casino garage. Actress Tilda Swinton condemns "state-perpetrated and internationally enabled genocide" at Berlinale In her vivid, at times poetic remarks, Swinton described the cinema as a boundless haven of freedom and solidarity, qualities increasingly difficult to find in the world. Some 1,500 historians, and counting, have opposed the AHA executive council's decision to block from a vote a resolution that had passed by an overwhelming majority at the organization's annual meeting The battle plan has largely been drawn up by Peter Navarro, who has been nominated as senior counsellor for trade and manufacturing policy and is known as a ferocious anti-China hawk. The "foreign terrorist" designations pave the way to a more predatory foreign policy and military interventions. The attacks on federal workers are part of a broader attack on the social and democratic rights of workers across the country. Join postal workers, federal employees, autoworkers, postal workers from other countries and others in an online meeting this Sunday at 3pm Eastern/12pm Pacific to discuss a strategy to fight back. Taking control of USPS would be the first step in Trump's plan to dismantle USPS entirely and privatize it, while also giving him direct access to the sensitive personal communications such as tax returns and mail-in ballots. Under the guise of a new privacy policy, the administration of the university in Melbourne is seeking to control all political interactions among students. Making a mockery of parliamentary democracy, the "Electoral Reform" bill was rammed through without even giving MPs a chance to read its final details, let alone members of the public, after a backroom deal between Labor and the Coalition. In response to the prospect of a tariff war, representatives of Taiwan's ruling establishment headed to Washington on February 11 to express their willingness to "work with" the Trump administration. The plant was the site of a workers' rebellion in 2021 against repeated attempts by the United Auto Workers to force through a sellout contract, in which the Volvo Workers Rank-and-File Committee played a critical role. The more-than-four-month suspension clears the way for a sell-out deal to be cooked up by the Labor government and the union bureaucracy, which has already been boasting for weeks of being "excruciatingly close" to agreement. The Salvation Army's "State of the Nation" report points to historic attacks on workers' living standards as New Zealand's recession deepens. The transition to a ruthless imperialist foreign policy and authoritarian methods of rule that characterise Trump's first month in office is not limited to the US. The ruling class in Germany is also returning to its criminal traditions. Public sector workers and journalists in Greece in 24-hour walkout over pay and conditions; general strike across sectors in Iran, including workers in textiles, energy, telecommunications, transport as well as youth protesting collapse of infrastructure; sugar cane workers striking to demand their pay attacked by police, some shot dead About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
