 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Trump's threat to starve 42 million Americans expresses the fact that the capitalist ruling class's interests are incompatible with even the most basic necessities of human life. Trump has not the slightest concern for peace in South East Asia. His economic thuggery aims to advance the economic and strategic interests of American imperialism as it prepares for war with China. The trade war was set to intensify after China announced global export controls would be imposed on rare earths, critical minerals and their use in a range of products. Irish voters have elected Catherine Connolly as the 10th president of the Republic of Ireland in a landslide vote which has humiliated the Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil coalition government. Far-right social media figures seized on an alleged sexual assault in Dublin last week to call for mass violence against asylum seekers and migrants. Sanders might not be a fascist, but his defense of Trump and the capitalist nation state echo arguments made by the Nazis. The Erdoğan government's use of the judiciary to attack democratic rights and build an authoritarian presidential regime reached a new level with the "political espionage investigation" launched on Friday. Boeing defense workers voted to reject the company's fourth offer in their three-month struggle. Federal investigators say 24,000–28,000 pounds of explosives detonated at Tennessee's AES plant, killing16 workers in one of the worst US industrial disasters in decades. GM's shuttering of the EV van assembly plant will eliminate more than 1,000 jobs. The fate of GM's nearby, wholly-owned Ultium battery operation and the 200 workers employed there remains in limbo. The boat disaster off the Tunisian coast, in which at least 40 people, including small children, lost their lives, is not an accident but a crime. The EU and its member governments bear full responsibility. Even if the government shutdown is ended, the cuts and restrictions to SNAP in Trump's OBBBA will result in 22.3 million families losing their SNAP benefits in part or whole and millions more being excluded in the future. The annual number of homeless public school students in New York City has exceeded 100,000 for the last 10 years. The Inter-University Student Federation has halved its previous long-held demands for a 6 percent budget allocation for education and is calling instead for a 3 percent allocation. Instructors at Harrisburg Area Community College voted by 93 percent to strike if negotiations fail Tuesday, while 35,000 British Columbia government workers returned to work after their union accepted a management offer.
