 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Democratic Party has only one significant conflict with Trump—over continuing the war with Russia in Ukraine. Trump's tariffs will roil the North American economy, with workers in all three countries bearing the brunt in the form of mass layoffs and punishing price hikes. Two of No Other Land's co-directors, Palestinian Basel Adra and Israeli Yuval Abraham, decried the decades of injustice and the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. Encouraged by support from other artists, Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino have said they will find a way to exhibit their work at the 2026 Venice Biennale. Netanyahu's claims were widely regurgitated and amplified uncritically by the domestic and international media to whip up a foul atmosphere, with the Israeli government using this barefaced lie to promote another anti-Palestinian "atrocity" campaign. On Friday, as Elon Musk was calling Social Security "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time," the Social Security Administration announced 7,000 job cuts and a restructuring plan that will cripple the agency's ability to serve the more than 70 million people who receive benefits each month. At least 112 demonstrations were held internationally to mark the second anniversary of the Tempi rail crash deaths in Greece. The attack of the government and the municipalities on the wages and living conditions of the working class is leading to growing struggles in different sectors. RFK Jr's opinion piece in Fox News underscores his complete disdain for public health and vaccines. Oppose the expulsion of pro-Palestinian students at Columbia University! Mobilize the working class! The IYSSE demands the immediate reinstatement of three expelled students and all others who have been disciplined by the university for protesting against the Gaza genocide. Cuomo is a veteran right-wing Democratic Party politician. Disenchanted with Dissanayake's ruthless implementation of IMF demands, the working class is now starting to come into conflict with the new regime. These demands require an all-out assault on working-class conditions and basic democratic rights, to be unleashed as soon as the federal election is out of the way. Since December, students from 65 of the country's 80 faculties have been on strike. Schools are also on strike, and at major demonstrations, farmers have blocked main roads with dozens of tractors. Rank-and-file opposition is growing over the last-minute agreement reached by the UAW to prevent a strike by 800 aircraft engine workers. Even though the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) will not be part of the administration, the new government programme clearly bears its hallmark. Workers in Buenos Aires occupied the Anselmo Morvillo printing plant to defend jobs, while in Mexico, thousands marched on the State Government House in Toluca to protest the social crisis. Far from defending democratic and social rights, the opposition People's Party, which postures as progressive, is making every effort to divert growing discontent into the dead-end of parliamentary politics. A veteran production line worker told reporters, "I'm devastated about the closure. Luton is already deprived. My grandfather worked in this plant. It has a rich history of car and van building. I don't know what I'm going to do to find work."
