 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The sentiments animating the vote for Mamdani are bringing masses of people into conflict with the Democratic Party and the entire political order. The world's largest military alliance has agreed to increase military spending from 2 percent to 5 percent of the GDP. This places bitter class struggles and social spending cuts on the agenda. The assault on Iran marks a dangerous escalation by US imperialism—aimed at controlling oil flows and preparing for a major war against China. The Israeli government killed more than 80 Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, dozens of whom were mowed down by tanks and drones, as they sought desperately needed food aid at distribution points that function as death traps set up by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The Left Party's apparent opposition to the war is nothing more than a tactical difference within the camp of imperialism regarding the choice of means. The objective—subjugating Iran—is shared unreservedly by the Left Party. Over the last three months in particular the scale and intensity of the assault on Medicare have plumbed new depths. President Ruto's government has unleashed a violent crackdown on mass Gen Z-led protests across Kenya, leaving at least 16 dead and hundreds injured. Tuesday marked the peak of the heat wave, with cities from Boston to Philadelphia experiencing their hottest temperatures in over a decade. Although the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office has not yet released an official cause of death, Taylor's death occurred during triple-digit temperatures and while working in one of the aging, un air-conditioned USPS vehicles that remain in widespread use across the country. The document's release comes just days after Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a commitment to lifting military spending to 5 percent of GDP by 2035, adopted as a common goal at yesterday's NATO summit. Protests are taking place in Venice directed against the marriage of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to former news anchor Lauren Sanchez. Antoinette Lattouf's victory is a damning exposure of the extensive campaign that has been waged by the Labor government and the entire establishment, to falsely brand opposition to the Israeli genocide as antisemitism. "It could be curtains for everybody with World War Three, nuclear war, and I'm trying to stop that. I'm terrified, horrified, especially so because I have children and grandchildren." New Delhi's principal concern is to continue to expand the Indo-US strategic alliance, whereby it has integrated itself ever more fully into American imperialism's offensive against China in return for Washington's support in realizing the Indian bourgeoisie's great-power ambitions. Presuming to speak on behalf of all 85,000 ILA members, Daggett praised Trump's "bold and courageous decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities," celebrating an attack on a country that had neither attacked nor threatened the US. The ruling JVP, which decades ago abandoned its anti-imperialist pretensions, starkly revealed its pro-US and pro-Israel foreign policy. The Trial of Dedan Kimathi confronts the betrayal of the Mau Mau struggle by Kenya's bourgeoisie and highlights the urgent need for workers and youth to draw the lessons of that experience in the fight for socialism.
