 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Trump has deployed troops in Los Angeles and Washington D.C., ordered them into Portland and Memphis, while summoning hundreds of generals and admirals to the capital to pledge loyalty to him. The attack on Galloway and his wife represents a ratcheting up of the massive onslaught against democratic rights in Britain being carried out by Keir Starmer's Labour government. Protests have been held throughout the state following the abduction of Dr. Ian Roberts by ICE agents on Friday. The arrival of ICE was met with protest and anger that is growing, at both the Trump administration's violations of the most basic democratic and social rights and the inaction of the Democratic Party. Riders and workers warn of economic catastrophe as CTA officials outline a potential $1 billion shortfall, with solutions hinging on state action. Amazon management did nothing to stop the alleged bullying of Mylen Belyue, which contributed to a mental health crisis. The demands of London transport workers are coming into head-on collision with the Starmer government's brutal austerity and frontal assault on workers' rights. The film and design work is intelligent, restless, assertive, but thematically, the watchword here is intense passivity and accommodation to the status quo. A petty act by a couple of teenagers has been inflated into a national scandal, seized on by William Ruto's unpopular government to promote "national unity". Although the jobs massacre is part of a massive wave of sackings, the IG Metall union and its Works Council representatives are doing nothing to defend jobs. The building of independent rank-and-file action committees, which oppose the nationalist policies of the union apparatus and its factory police, is more urgent than ever. Albanese fraudulently claimed to be defending "democracy," alongside Starmer, under conditions where their governments are militarist instruments of the corporate elite carrying out a major assault on civil liberties. Any scrapping or even undercutting of the PBS, on which the Australian government spent nearly $18 billion last year to subsidise retail medicine prices, would have a devastating effect on millions of people. The scientists looked for 50 known PFAS compounds and found 31 in the drinking water samples, 21 of which were previously undocumented in Australia.
