 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. There are events which burst through the crust of official politics and media-managed opinion and let popular sentiment erupt to the surface. Saturday afternoon at the UK's Glastonbury music festival was one of those. A 51-49 near-party line vote opened debate on a so-called "reconciliation" bill that will extend Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy while cutting more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and food stamps. The "unavoidable" catastrophe is the direct result of a political system that treats transit as a commodity rather than a social right. At least 66 children have died of malnutrition in Gaza during the US-Israeli genocide, Gaza's government media office said this weekend, as mass hunger skyrockets in the besieged enclave. Over half a million people are now at risk of being seized and deported to the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The right-wing Mulino government has imposed Operation Omega to crack down on working class resistance to austerity measures. Contracts for nearly 80,000 educators in California's largest districts, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento, are expiring on June 30. While the German government pours hundreds of billions of euros into rearmament and war, the jobs massacre in the automotive, supplier, chemical, steel and other key industries continues unabated and is now extending to the services sector. Workers' jobs cannot be defended by converting to war production. The defence of jobs must be directly linked to the fight against militarism and war. Handwritten letters to his Nazi superiors boast of Dobrowolski "personally" taking part "in the extermination of the Jews" and killing hundreds of Ukrainian resistance fighters. The film concerns New Zealand's worst industrial accident—the gas explosions at the Pike River coal mine that killed 29 miners in November 2010. The ACTU's involvement in this event underscores the Albanese government's increasing dependence on the trade union apparatus to suppress working-class opposition to its agenda of war and austerity. Traverse City officials recently enforced a new no camping ordinance and shut down The Pines, a large homeless encampment, even though local shelters are at capacity and regularly turn people away every night. The contract is nothing more than a rehash of the deal the union bureaucracies tried to impose on workers a week ago, and that the rank and file voted down.
