 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The tactical retreat on the part of the Trump administration is not an abandonment of its authoritarian course—it is a recalibration and regroupment. Minnesota veterans and students denounced the assassination of VA nurse Alex Pretti. "It was murder. It definitely was a murder. He was just trying to protect those ladies from being pepper sprayed. He was just protecting them." The Trump administration released its 2026 National Defense Strategy on Thursday, a 34-page document that openly proclaims American military domination of North and South America as a platform for global war. A huge winter storm blanketed more than half of the lower 48 US states, beginning on Friday and bringing subfreezing temperatures, snow, ice, freezing rain and devastation to hundreds of millions of people from New Mexico to New England. The Metropolitan Police violently arrested at least 86 protesters outside Wormwood Scrubs prison in west London. They had gathered peacefully in solidarity with Umer Khalid, a pro-Palestinian activist on a hunger and thirst strike. More than 100,000 of Israel's Palestinian citizens took to the streets of Sakhnin and Umm Al-Fahm, in the north of Israel, and other predominantly Arab towns and villages across the country. Engler was targeted for prosecution due to his vocal opposition to Israel's genocide of the Gaza Palestinians and exposure of the complicity of Canada's Liberal government and political establishment. Public sector workers in Germany are striking amid huge workloads and declining real wages, but the unions are isolating their struggle. A successful fight requires breaking with the unions and building independent rank-and-file committees to unite with workers internationally. The removal of Zhang, who ranked second behind President Xi Jinping in the powerful Central Military Commission, points to sharp tensions within China's military and the top echelons of the Chinese Communist Party regime. The new German-Italian axis is also a warning from a historical standpoint. On the eve of and during the Second World War, Nazi Germany and fascist Italy formed a close alliance. The defence of artistic freedom is inseparably connected to the fight to mobilise the entire working class against social austerity, dictatorship, imperialist war and barbarism. The same CEB union officials now threatening strike action shut down all industrial action four months ago, following false promises from Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody. Bernie Monk, whose son was killed in the 2010 Pike River mine disaster, warned families of the six people killed in the Mount Maunganui landslide not to trust official promises of an impartial and transparent inquiry.
