 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Drawing conspicuously from the pseudo-legal playbook of the Nazis, the capitalist oligarchy has set in motion an operation aimed at nothing less than the imposition of a police state in the US. The actions taken by the Trump administration since Friday night are a crossing of the Rubicon in terms of the assertion of unlimited presidential authority. Even though it is financed by loans, the costs will fall on the working class—in the form of wage cuts, social cuts, the reintroduction of compulsory military service, the militarisation of the whole of society and the suppression of democratic rights. Only an independent and international movement of the working class, which takes up a fight against the government's pro-war agenda, can ensure decent wages and social conditions. The Socialist Equality Party and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality are holding a public meeting to discuss Trump's efforts to destroy public education and a political strategy for the working class to stop it. The fact that the charges are only being filed now, nearly a year after the protest took place, underscores their concocted character. The findings of the Islamophobia Register are an indictment of governments and the media, which have stoked anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian racism to legitimise their support for the Gaza genocide. The AEC letter underscores the anti-democratic character of the country's party registration legislation. The monopoly over letter mail forms the core of the Crown corporation's operations. Its erosion or elimination in the name of "liberalizing" trade barriers and protecting corporate Canada's profits during the trade war would mean the destruction of thousands of jobs and the end of Canada Post as it currently operates. With the school year barely begun, strikes and struggles have already spread to the education systems of several of Brazil's capitals. Toxic Town, a scandal about birth defects in UK town Corby dramatized in 4 episodes, is streaming now on Netflix. Breaking up the encampment has obviously done nothing to address the underlying problem of a complete lack of accessible, secure and affordable accommodation for those in need. The Ceylon Workers Congress, in line with the state and the company, are directing the victimised workers to admit their guilt for an offence they did not commit. Prabowo has taken an axe to vital public services, slashing up to $44 billion from education, health and infrastructure. While this protest highlights the genuine sentiment of workers fighting for better conditions, it also exposes the limitations of protest tactics that focus on pressuring executives rather than confronting the profit system. Unit 29, edited by poet and translator Louis Bourgeois, presents the writing and artwork of over 30 inmates at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, Mississippi (also known as Parchman Farm). Police attack pensioners' protest march in Argentina, while health workers strike throughout Chile. In the middle of a cyclone and flooding, New South Wales Premier Chris Minns ordered the removal of "squatters" from vacant houses. The contract was announced on February 26 in order to violate the decision by 99.5 percent of the 800 workers at the plant, which produces engines for US military vehicles, to authorize strike action.
