The Socialist Equality Party replies to Trump’s fascist address to Congress
 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. In the United States, where the capitalist two-party system has been in place for 150 years, all those genuinely opposed to the policies and interests of the ruling class are denied the right to address the people. However, if the Socialist Equality Party had been given the opportunity to deliver a televised rebuttal, not only to Trump's State of the Union Address but also to the Democrats' reply, this is what we would have said. The absence of any expression of popular opposition to the war reflects both the backing among the European imperialist powers and broad support among the privileged middle class "left" for a "regime change" operation led by Washington. CPM-K Secretary General Booker Ngesa Omole was violently abducted on Monday in Isiolo town by the Kenya Police Service. The ICFI demands that the Ruto regime release him immediately. Kiswani's suit alleges that the violent far-right group has been targeting her for over a year, including by supplying her name to the Trump administration for deportation. A hypothetical scenario set out by the research firm Citrini "tapped into a new strain of fears about AI." With the previous vote by teachers, some 65,000 Los Angeles Unified School District employees are poised to strike. The legal battle exposes the irrationality of a healthcare system subordinated to financial manipulation, fraud settlements and insurance profiteering. Multiple media reports quote Epstein victims whose statements to the FBI were recorded, but not released by the Department of Justice last month. Peru has become a focal point in US imperialism's drive to roll back China's economic influence and reassert Washington's hegemony in Latin America. The "Virginia Labor Coalition" meeting at GMU seeks to tie workers to Democrats and unions while suppressing broader struggles over wages and democratic rights in the face of the Trump administration's assault on democracy. A serious artistic appraisal of the Troubles, and serious attempts to understand their effect at a personal level, would have to begin from a historical and political understanding both of British imperialism and the limitations of bourgeois nationalism. The renewed legal offensive against Bainimarama is an expression of intensifying factional struggles amid Fiji's growing social crisis. The March 21 state election will resolve nothing for workers and young people. Such police-state powers mark a further shift to the right by Labor governments, seeking to crush dissent. Hanau shooting memorial highlights political shift to the right in Germany's political establishment On the sixth anniversary of the racist terror attack, the families of the victims warn of the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the "fascistic escalation" in the US. At the same time, the establishment parties are distancing themselves from such commemorations. Trotter's legal team long argued for mercy based on their client's intellectual disabilities and the fact that he was high on crack at the time of the crime and came to the store unarmed, demonstrating he lacked the capacity for premeditation. At the centre of scandal is an investigation concerning €2.1 million government and European Union funding, out of a €73 million total, provided between 2020 and 2025 for professional education and training programmes.
