 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Trump administration's series of murders in the Caribbean is the consummation of decades of murder, torture and aggressive war by US imperialism, all illegal under the precedent set by the 1945 Nuremberg tribunal. At the start of the holiday season, General Motors announced the permanent layoff of 1,140 workers, and dozens of low-income and elderly tenants at the historic Leland House downtown were abruptly told they must leave their homes. Workers' determination to resist the dismantling of public services and the Legault government's attacks on democratic rights—including the right to strike—was palpable. The fascist in the White House delivered a racist rant targeting Somalis as he ordered the ICE Gestapo to Minnesota. The founding conference began with witch-hunts and expulsions against the left and continued with every conceivable form of bureaucratic skulduggery. Heartbreaking scenes reminiscent of the 2004 tsunami are now unfolding across Sri Lanka. Shocking accounts continue to emerge from flood- and landslide-devastated areas as survivors begin to access previously cut-off regions. This is the inevitable outcome of their rejection of a struggle by the rank-and-file to overthrow the corrupt union apparatus in favor of bureaucratic self-reform, and its program of combining workers' "democracy" without a fight against capitalism. Under Lee Jae-myung and the Democrats, Seoul is marching in lockstep with Washington's aggressive imperialist agenda, demonstrating that there is no section of the South Korean ruling class opposed to war. Competing sections of the indigenous capitalist class appear to be fighting for control of Te Pāti Māori, which is threatened with a split. At events held by Trotskyist publisher Mehring Yayıncılık to screen the documentary film Tsar to Lenin, Ulaş Sevinç, chairman of the Sosyalist Eşitlik Partisi, gave a speech on the relevance of the October Revolution of 1917. Jaber Mohammed, only one among hundreds of prisoners who faced a similar fate, lost five years of his life to a regime of abuse and torture, part of the imperialist reaction to the 9/11 attacks. The Greens' party congress demonstrates that they have moved even further to the right, endorsing the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine and preparing for a future war with Russia. Behind their moral posturing lies the real class basis of their politics: unwavering loyalty to German imperialism and the capitalist system. At the UTS rally, union speakers claimed to be "winning," even as the vice-chancellor's update showed that the majority of the cuts and course closures are still proceeding. School management have employed a virtual teacher 300 miles away in Devon because of the chronic shortage of maths teachers.
