 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. For the third time in less than a week, Trump, surrounded by cabinet officials and fellow Republicans, denounced all people from Somalia as "garbage." The picture that emerges is of a massive redistribution of wealth from the working class and more economically vulnerable sections of the middle class to the wealthiest layers of society. The attack is the latest police-state operation carried out by Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security on the orders of Trump. The Republican attorney general of Missouri, Catherine Hanaway, accused Advanced Micro Targeting of "employing illegal aliens" to gather signatures, part of a multi-pronged effort aimed at shutting down the campaign to reverse the legislature's unpopular gerrymandering measure. Until a few years ago, the US and European powers worked closely together to encircle Russia and bring Eastern Europe and large parts of the former Soviet Union under their control. But now the axis of conflict is shifting. The rivalry between the US and Europe is increasingly coming to the fore. It was as a steel fixer that Ken joined the Socialist Labour League, the precursor to the Socialist Equality Party, in the early 1980s. Once convinced of the program and the need to build the revolutionary party, he never wavered. "The only way we will see justice is if we reveal the truth, hold accountable those responsible for the conditions that put us in harm's way, and set up our own shop floor organizations to take control." Reflecting the political character of their milieu, most of Mamdani and Friedland's half-hour discussion centers on casual, empty-headed conversation, with several interruptions to check soccer scores and ad breaks for nicotine and sexual performance products. While by no means a master manipulator, Friedland's characteristic rambling and aimlessness hide a sharper intent. A distressed flood-surviving woman asked: "Our parents were submerged in water. We, too, have gone under water. Will our children also suffer the same fate?" The figures are startling, revealing a body of men and women often obliged to work two, three or four jobs to stay afloat and facing uncertainty and precarity on various fronts. A coordinated campaign is underway by Zionist lobby groups and the German press to censor and/or close the exhibition "Commune – The Paradox of Similarity in the Middle East Conflict", which has been on display in Potsdam since mid-November. A Berlin court has ruled that the violent shutdown of the 2024 Palestine Congress was unlawful, exposing the arbitrary political actions behind the police operation. The judgment highlights how the German authorities have trampled on democratic rights to suppress criticism of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Following the 2023 presidential elections, Mehmet Şimşek was appointed as the Minister of Treasury and Finance to impose the severe austerity program demanded by international and domestic financial capital. More than 5,000 measles cases have been confirmed in 2025 compared to 147 in 2024, with infections reported in nine provinces and the Northwest Territories. Two deaths have been recorded, both infants exposed to the virus in utero. The combination of record levels of government debt and the involvement of speculative capital in its financing is presenting "new financial stability challenges," according to the Bank for International Settlements. The inquest into the killing of three police found the Trains were motivated by a psychotic disorder, even though it heard extensive evidence that they were far-right extremists motivated by apocalyptic Christianity and conspiracy theories. A series of deaths points to the subordination of workers' health and lives to the interests of corporate profit through speed-ups, subcontracting and casualisation. On Monday, agency workers employed through Job & Talent—used to supply the council's strikebreaking workforce—began indefinite strike action after voting to do so two weeks ago in a ballot organised by Unite. Around 40 agency workers joined the dispute.
